Description
Important property located in the prestigious residential area of the hamlet of Alpino (800 m), in the municipality of Gignese, on the slopes of Monte Mottarone, not far from Stresa, with an extraordinary panorama.
The property consists of an important main house dating back to the end of the 19th century and an outbuilding characterised by stone and wood cladding.
Located halfway between the famous seaside resort of Stresa and the summit of Mottarone (both about 20 minutes away by car), the Alpino has always been a popular holiday and tourist destination for the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie.
Mottarone and the Alpino experienced a significant tourist boom during the Belle Époque, between the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when numerous villas were built.
The construction of numerous villas began at the end of the 19th century. In those years, many members of the Lombardy-Piedmontese bourgeoisie and aristocracy chose to build villas in Alpino and the surrounding area to spend the summer months, but also to visit the ski resorts of Mottarone in winter. In addition to winter sports and unspoilt nature, in the 1920s Alpino also offered a golf course, which still exists today and is one of the first in Italy.
The property consists of a main house and an outbuilding.
The main house, whose original construction dates back to 1895, has fascinating architectural details both inside and out and is divided into two flats: one on the mezzanine floor and one on the first and second floors. In the basement there are several rooms used as cellars and storage rooms.
