Villa Muggia
Stresa (VB)
Location location and history
Il palazzo venne edificato nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento dalla famiglia Isler, nel luogo in cui già esisteva una costruzione settecentesca appartenente ad una famiglia di contadini.
Verso la fine del secolo scorso, l'imprenditore tedesco George Von Siemens, proprietario della famosa industria di componenti elettrici, subentrò ai primi proprietari e ne mantenne il possesso fino al 1930. I Siemens, amanti della natura, inserirono, tra le piante secolari, rigogliose specie floreali.
In 1931, villa was purchased by a family of Milanese industrialists, the Muggia family, from whom it took its name.
Dopo la morte degli ultimi proprietari, essa ospitò un nuovo padrone, il signor Ugo Toso. Per l'imprenditore torinese la dimora stresina rappresentò la "sosta" ideale per evadere dalla città, godendo del fascino incantato del lago Maggiore e del suo nuovo, accogliente focolare.
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.
