Photos and Description of the Stresa vacation villa rental
Sleeps 10 people - 8 bed-rooms 4 full bathrooms

This spectacular lake-front property is located in Stresa, Lake Maggiore, just 45 minutes away from Malpensa Airport, in the opposite direction of Milan. This large, four floor, 8 bedroom villa was built in 1903 by the Ricordi Family. Originally named Villa Glicine, it is now known by the locals as Villa Ricordi. Ideal also for small group meetings and family reunions.

The piano terra, ground floor, has a garage with covered parking for three cars, storage space and a cantina. The first floor, has a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen, living room with fireplace and piano, an organ, an antique billiard room with a sound system, television room and powder room. There is also a large terrace with a spectacular view that has a stone table that seats 12, which we use for our main meals. The second floor, has two master bedrooms with baths that have beautiful lake views, a childrens bedroom with bunk beds and a single bed, two bedrooms with queen-sized beds and a shared bath.

outside: The most valued feature of this property is the fabulous view of the three islands (Isole Borromeo) and surrounding mountains. The foothills of the Alps with the high peaks in the background complete the breathtaking vista that is gorgeous by day and also very romantic at sunset and during the night.

Beautiful, very large house with expansive manicured garden. Wonderfully private with a great view. The cleaner and gardener showed up a few times a week but generally we were left in privacy the whole time. The house is directly on the lake with its own swimming platform-- mind you the water is a bit cold. The kitchen is well equipped so meals at home are a great option. The rear of the house has a lovely large patio where you can dine and relax. Parking for at least four cars, maybe more, inside the gates. Wifi internet was available in the house. Bring your musical gifts because there are several pianos and other instruments! My only criticism is that there was too little information about the place before we got there. A lot of the things I have just mentioned were big unknowns for us. Good-- let's keep this place a secret! A dream vacation for a group.

Thanks Ricordi family!

We rented this lovely villa on the shores of Lago Maggiore with my family and friends (ages 3 - 70) Could not have been more pleased. VERY large home and easy walking distance to the charming town of Stresa. Ferries nearby shuttled us from one island to another and came back, sat on the grand terrace, watched the hills light up like fireflies. The Hyrdangreas are stunning and there's a swing, ping pong table and lots for the kids to do of all ages - could not recommend more highly! Photos do not do this place justice - the owner was pleasant and helpful.
