Stunning home overlooking the Borromeo islands

Casa Bellavista is a thoughtfully restored hillside home in the village of Someraro positioned above Stresa with open views across Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands.

The renovation balances modern comfort with the character of the original rustico preserving the home’s sense of place while updating it for relaxed, contemporary living. Clean lines, natural materials, and a restrained palette allow the setting to take center stage rather than compete with it.

At the heart of the house is a designer kitchen anchored by a large marble island designed for both everyday meals and unhurried evenings at home. The top‑floor living area is open and light‑filled creating a natural gathering space that draws the eye outward toward the lake.

Casa Bellavista offers three generous bedrooms including a principal bedroom with a walk‑in wardrobe along with two well‑appointed bathrooms and an additional WC. The layout provides a sense of separation and privacy while still feeling cohesive and easy to move through.

Above it all, the private roof terrace is where many guests spend the most time—reading, dining, or simply watching the lake change throughout the day. From this vantage point, the house feels both connected to the region and quietly removed from it.

Someraro itself is a calm, residential village located approximately one mile above Stresa offering a peaceful setting with convenient access to the lake, ferries, restaurants, and nearby towns. Guests appreciate being close to the activity below while returning each evening to a quieter, more elevated perspective.

Casa Bellavista is best suited to guests who value space, light, and atmosphere—those looking for a place that feels considered and comfortable rather than staged or transient.
