Description
Situated on the Lombard banks of Lake Maggiore, in Porto Valtravaglia, we offer for sale Villa Rivazzola: a splendid Art Nouveau villa.
The villa, completed in 1914, retains intact the charm of the period thanks to careful restoration and its privileged position gives it an unparalleled view over the waters of the lake and the town's harbour.
The main entrance to the villa is on the ground floor and via a veranda introduces guests to a first flat, consisting of a kitchen with fireplace and a living room with dining area, followed by a hallway, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.
The first floor of the villa houses the main flat, with large rooms for daytime activities: kitchen, dining area, large living room with fireplace and bathroom with shower. The jewel in the crown of this floor is certainly a splendid terrace with a relaxation area overlooking the lake.
The second floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, with shower and bathtub respectively.
The top floor is located inside the villa's turret and consists of a single wonderful room, whose windowed walls offer a 360° view of the lake, the town of Porto Valtravaglia and the surrounding greenery.
The floors of Villa Rivazzola are in marble and parquet, the stairs are entirely in marble, with ornamental details and frescoes on the ceiling; the window and doorframes are in double glass and wood, with wooden shutters. The property is equipped with radiator heating, video surveillance and burglar alarm.
The villa is completed by a basement with tavern, accessory rooms and a bathroom.
Outside, a well-kept, flower-filled garden envelops the property, leading to a convivial area with patio, stone table, equipped outdoor kitchen, barbecue and a splendid heated swimming pool, equipped with changing room and bathroom. The outdoor spaces, designed to host convivial moments, are enriched by pergolas and elegant paving in local serizzo stone.
Perfectly preserved, Villa Rivazzola is an authentic icon of the early 20th century Art Nouveau style.
