Stresa, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (province)

Lake Maggiore

Castello Pellegrini is a magnificent historic residence located in a dominant position on the hills of Stresa, with an unparalleled view of Lake Maggiore.

Considered one of the most beautiful structures on our Lake, the villa was purchased by the famous fashion designer Gianfranco Ferré, to give life to the project for the rebirth of what was originally “Castello Pellegrini”. His intention was to transform it into a first-class Relais au Lac where one could immerse oneself in wellness and exclusive services.

Also known as "Il Castellotto" for its majestic proportions, the building stands out for its visual impact and architectural elegance. The villa, built in the early decades of the twentieth century, has an imposing façade characterized by corner towers, mullioned windows and battlements, elements that recall medieval architecture.

The interior of the villa is equally fascinating, with original details that include a valuable Carrara marble staircase and historic frescoes, highlighting a taste for eclecticism typical of the time. The interior spaces, distributed over two main levels and a basement, have been designed to offer a luxurious and comfortable living experience, with large living rooms overlooking the lake and bedrooms of great charm.

The 12 thousand square meter park surrounding the villa, rich in centuries-old vegetation, panoramic terraces and caves in roccaille, adds further prestige to the property, creating an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty. The property also includes a rustic chalet, in transalpine style, and a cottage used as an outbuilding. The entire complex has recently been declared a "cultural asset" by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, as a testimony to its historical and architectural value.

Castello Pellegrini represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly prestigious property, immersed in a unique natural setting and with a fascinating history, ideal for those who wish to live or invest in an exclusive corner of Lake Maggiore.
