In the heart of the enchanting Isola dei Pescatori, the most authentic and romantic of the Borromean Islands, stands Villa Pace, an extraordinary historic residence where timeless charm meets modern potential. This unique property, dating back to the 17th century, has undergone major structural restoration works that have preserved its original soul while preparing it for a complete interior customization according to the buyer’s taste.

Spread across four levels, all connected by a predisposition for an internal elevator, Villa Pace offers approximately 300 sqm of garden facing the lake — a rare privilege on the island.

On the ground floor, large panoramic windows illuminate an elegant living area with direct access to a 25 sqm lakefront terrace and the private garden, alongside a spacious kitchen and guest bathroom. The upper floors host several bedrooms and bathrooms with the flexibility to design refined and comfortable spaces — ideal for a private residence or a boutique hospitality project.

The roof and exterior façade have been completely restored, respecting the historical architecture, while the interior structure has been reinforced using high-quality materials. The roof features advanced insulation to ensure optimal comfort and prevent humidity.

From the garden, a private staircase leads to the public beach and a municipal pier, offering direct and easy access to the lake — perfect for mooring a private boat or water taxi.

Completing the renovation is estimated to require around €300,000–400,000, with part of the finishing materials already available on-site.

Villa Pace represents a truly rare opportunity: an historic gem on one of Italy’s most exclusive and picturesque islands, just minutes by boat from Stresa, Baveno, Verbania, and Arona.

Whether envisioned as an elegant private retreat or transformed into an intimate boutique hotel, this property embodies the essence of Lake Maggiore’s refined lifestyle, offering unmatched views, privacy, and prestige in an incomparable setting.
