Located directly on the shores of Lake Maggiore in the prestigious town of Belgirate - Stresa, this extraordinary historic villa represents one of the most exclusive and fascinating properties in the entire Italian real estate market.

Known as Villa Principessa Matilde and also historically referred to as Malgirata, the residence is inextricably linked to the figure of Princess Matilde Letizia Bonaparte, the niece of Napoleon I, who acquired it in 1861 and transformed it into one of the most famous aristocratic salons on the lake, frequented by nobles, intellectuals, and prominent figures of the time.

Built in the early years of the 19th century on the foundations of an ancient religious building, the villa still retains all the magnificence of its noble origins, expressing through its late neoclassical architecture a perfect balance between elegance, harmony, and historic prestige.

Later belonging to the Russian prince Vladimir Andreevi Dolgorukij, the property has been preserved over time with great care, maintaining the authentic character of the villa and its extraordinary cultural value.

The residence extends over approximately 1700 square meters between the main villa and the refined outbuildings, immersed in a magnificent historic park of over 1.3 hectares, designed according to the original plan by Anatolij Demidoff, a famous patron and creator of Italian gardens, as well as the husband of Princess Matilde.

The exclusive lakeside location guarantees an unparalleled panoramic view, while the wisely studied orientation of the villa allows for breathtaking scenarios from every room of the property, including the most private rooms and the representative halls.

The interiors are distinguished by the timeless elegance of the spaces, the large openings that flood the rooms with natural light, and the architectural elements that evoke the most refined neoclassical taste.

In the park-like garden, there is an elegant Italian garden, a spectacular swimming pool with a sunbathing area, and an exclusive access to the private beach, which can be reached through a suggestive reserved passage that leads directly to the shores of the lake.

This unique property is completed by a private marina with an exclusive dock, garage for six vehicles, large parking areas, fitness area, elevator, spa, and rooms dedicated to the well-being and hospitality of illustrious guests.

A dwelling of exceptional rarity, where history, art, nature, and luxury blend in perfect harmony, giving life to one of the most prestigious historic residences on Lake Maggiore, destined for an international clientele seeking the absolute.
