Villa Muggia

Stresa (VB)

Location location and history

The building was built in the second half of the 19th century by the Isler family, on the site where an 18th-century building belonging to a farming family already existed.

Toward the end of the last century, German entrepreneur George Von Siemens, owner of the famous electrical components industry, took over from the first owners and retained possession until 1930. The Siemens, lovers of nature, included lush floral species among the century-old plants.

In 1931, villa was purchased by a family of Milanese industrialists, the Muggia family, from whom it took its name.

After the death of the last owners, it housed a new owner, Mr. Ugo Toso. For the entrepreneur from Turin, the Stresina mansion represented the ideal "stopover" to escape from the city, enjoying the enchanting charm of Lake Maggiore and its new, cozy hearth.

Event Location

Today the Toso Tarditi family is dedicated to following the Villa by offering it as a venue for private events especially weddings.

The Villa has been equipped with a comfortable marquee that allows more than 150 people to dine or dine together.

It also employs an efficient and cooperative staff.

Pros and cons of the location

This Villa is so successful because it has all the winning ingredients for an elegant, lakeside wedding.

It enjoys the vIsta of Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands, has a very large park, possesses a beautiful fountain that accompanies the event with the presence of water, also has many interior spaces devoted to the moment of the party or aperitif with a bright and elegant Art Nouveau style and has a large veiled tent for the moment of the place'.

Magical is the terrace from where you can see the Lake and where you can make the cake cutting, for me this is the most striking point of the Location.

The Villa is also officially recognized for civil ceremonies. All these ingredients create a rich and succulent dish.

The flaw that I can recognize more as an architect than as a wedding planner, is perhaps a set of elements sometimes not aligned as and this can create a lack of absolute harmony that instead is perceived even in less beautiful locations.

Wedding style in this Villa.

In this venue the best style to consider is elegant and retro best not to choose a rustic or shabby chic style, the which has no real relation to the very elegant style given by the eighteenth-century fountain, unless you mainly use the park and the marquee.

The most appropriate colors are the pastel tones that are then found in the tapestries in the rooms of the Villa.

Light green, antique pink and light blue accompanied by gold tones blend very well with the environment.

In my examples you will find cue and surely many inspirations.
