A historical home on the slopes of the Lake

In the ancient village of Artò, not far from the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso and only a few minutes from Lake Orta, we find this true gem. Dedicated to lovers of period houses, in this dwelling the walls still breathe the history of its past, with evocative atmospheres that are able to amaze. Villa Ferrari, like the name of the street, opens through a stone portal and a door with iron rivets. One is immediately struck by the frescoes depicting bunches of grapes and vine shoots. The 18th-century house wraps around the courtyard with a beautiful pergola for shelter from the sun. There is also a wood-fired oven here for making pizza. All the rooms are very spacious and have fireplaces, some with vaulted ceilings, others frescoed and with stucco and fireplaces. On the ground floor, there is a large kitchen, a cellar, rooms and rooms used as a library and spaces for listening to music. One of the bathrooms has vaults and frescoes and a marble floor. A succession of warm and cosy rooms, tastefully furnished. The house was purchased by the current owners in 1999 and there has been much renovation and restoration work, including re-roofing and all the flues. Furniture and antiques, should they be of interest, will be left in the property although the sale price includes the furnishing of the kitchen and bathrooms. A house for connoisseurs, cosy and well-kept, with ample space to spend time with friends, losing oneself in the silence of this ancient village.
