A luxurious 19th-century villa, among the most famous by Lake Maggiore, is for sale in the stunning town of Belgirate.Its exclusive position by the lake, its 1,700 sqm of internal surface divided between the main house and the outbuildings, the private beach connected directly by an underground passage and the pier for private use contribute to the uniqueness of this property that belonged to the family of Napoleon III.Subsequently passed into the ownership of a Russian prince, the property was remodeled only at the end of the last century, while its big park has remained intact in its original design.Many of its architectural elements refer to the Neoclassical style, including the façade, in which the symmetry of simple and elegant lines prevails, interrupted by windows that light up all rooms, offering a wonderful lake view.In the 1.3-hectare park, a wonderful Italian garden opens towards the calm lake waters, which can be accessed from a private passage, next to a splendid big swimming pool with a sunbathing area. There is no shortage of spaces for parking, thanks to a garage for six cars and a long driveway that crosses the garden.Ref: 8729
