About Villa Isabella

INTERIORS

Interiors Built in the 1920s and originally a general of the Italian army family home, the Villa Isabella is an elegant property set over 3 floors. It was renovated in 2005 with a refined design featuring vintage touches and paintings by a local artist, as well as large windows that endow every room with a breathtaking view. The 2 available bedrooms are situated on the second floor.  

EXTERIORS

The villa’s exterior spaces allow you to enjoy the best of alfresco living.  The whole green area, of about 1500 square meters, is available to our guests. There is also a romantic picnic table that can be used for breakfast, lunch, or a packed dinner if needed. Guests can access the park with their car to unload and load their luggage or leave it parked at no cost in the parking area. 

LOCATION

Overlooking Lake Maggiore with magnificent views of the Borromean Islands, the villa is located  It is a perfect base for explorations of the region. Visit Milan (less than an hour away), go trekking at Lake Orta, or even cross the border to Switzerland, which is around 35km from the villa. Snow lovers will explore the Alps and their beautiful slopes. Do not miss a visit to Isola Madre island, where guests will admire the sumptuous Borromean Palace, dating back to the XVII century, and its important Italian garden. Moreover, on Isola Bella island you will find a rich botanic garden.

CONNECTIONS AND MOVING AROUND

The railway station is only 200 meters from the place for an easy connection to Milan and some places in Switzerland. Definitely, an obligatory stop to report is the one with the Lago Maggiore Express train that connects Domodossola with Locarno along a railway between the mountains.  Near the house, there is also the "Alibus" bus stop which travels to and from Malpensa airport, and a well-stocked supermarket.  We suggest at least a minimum of 2-3 nights to be able to visit the main attractions of Stresa.
