Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Villa Eden is a fascinating property set, like a real gemstone, on the remains of one of the 17 disused furnaces that have animated the Ispra area since the early 19th century. A villa unique both for its architectural conformation with octagonal rooftops that recall the style of the old furnaces and for its position overlooking the lake, with a view that is never banal, constantly changing during the different hours of the day like an impressionist painting. No name could be more fitting for this property: surrounded by greenery and the absolute tranquillity of the lake, you will feel as if you are in a kind of earthly paradise. Four elegant bedrooms, with air conditioning and ensuite bathroom, the sumptuous living room with fireplace and frescoed ceilings, the modern kitchen with direct access to the two beautiful panoramic terraces set up as a dining area, the large equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, immersed in a bucolic setting, make Villa Eden the ideal place to host families and groups of friends wishing to spend a relaxing stay in a private and unique setting, yet very close to the most beautiful and prestigious attractions of this part of Lake Maggiore, like Isola Madre. In a small apartment inside the villa, but with independent entrance, reside the owners, very private people who will not interfere in the privacy of the guests.

Interior:

The villa has two floors connected both internally and externally. From the main entrance, a small hallway leads, on the right, to a study with bookcase and, on the left, to the large and elegant, octagonal-shaped, living room with frescoed ceilings, dining table and sitting area with sofas, fireplace (ornamental), and a small corner set up with table and chairs near the stairs leading up to the first floor. From the living room, a corridor leads to the sleeping area consisting of two double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower, a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with hydromassage tub, and the octagonal-shaped master bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower and direct exit to the garden. The ground floor is completed by two guest bathrooms not connected internally with the other rooms. From the living room, an internal staircase leads up to the first floor with the modern fully-equipped, octagonal-shaped kitchen (with washing machine) with large panoramic windows and a square wooden table in the centre of the room which, due to its conformation, encourages conviviality. The kitchen has direct access out to the two terraces used as dining and relaxation areas. The main terrace of about 200 sq m is partly covered by a pergola with a solid wood table ideal for breakfasts with a view of the lake and with relaxation areas where you can enjoy romantic sunsets. The other, more intimate, terrace offers views of the octagonal rooftops and Isola Madre.

Park:

Villa Eden is surrounded by a lush, level and fully-fenced park of about 3500 sq m which extends over the two sides of the villa, with the one on the right occupied by the pool area and the barbecue area with pergola set up as a dining area, while that on the left, with direct access from the two front bedrooms, is set up with private relaxation areas and a children's play area. Predominantly lawn, the park is an explosion of colours and scents characterised by arches of roses, a small citrus grove and a large jasmine creating a natural cover for the stairs leading to the first-floor terrace and to the 4-car parking area. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool overlooks an open and panoramic viewpoint on the right side of the property. About 50 m from the villa, it is just a few steps from both the main entrance and the external stairs leading up to the first floor. The irregular-shaped pool (measuring 90 sqm - 15 x 6 m) with the depth varying from 1 to 2,20 m), is lined in PVC and equipped with Roman steps for access to the water and a small diving board. The surrounding sunbathing area, partly lawn and partly stone paving, is equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs and umbrellas. The pool has chlorine purification and can also be used at night thanks to both internal and external lighting. It is available from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

Location and distances


Villa Eden is located in Ispra, a well-known town on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, and characterised by 17 furnaces connected by a public path called "Anello delle Fornaci", with alternating naturalistic views and buildings rich in history. The furnaces date back to the end of the 19th century and consist of a main body that formed the chimney flanked by service buildings and docks for the boats that transported lime along the main waterway to Milan. The lime industry has changed the lake landscape, exposing the white grooves of the limestone-rich rock quarries that characterise these areas. A few minutes by car will take you to the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso perched on a sheer cliff face overlooking the lake, undoubtedly one of the most striking scenarios of Lake Maggiore, a UNESCO heritage site. Via the lake, it is also possible to reach the Borromean Islands, in particular Isola Madre, which, on the clearest days, can be seen directly from the terrace of Villa Eden.
