Description

Immersed in a green setting of rare tranquility and enhanced by a splendid open view of Lake Orta, this charming residence represents a prestigious housing solution for those seeking privacy, comfort, and exclusivity. The villa, located in the characteristic town of Arola, is developed over three harmonious levels, with dual access and spacious, bright rooms designed to ensure livability and comfort. On the ground floor, passing through the porch, one is welcomed by a rustic kitchen with timeless charm, enriched by an ancient bread oven that exudes tradition and authenticity. Here, an intimate living room with a fireplace invites winter evenings, while the large dining area with brick vaults evokes the warmth of homes of yesteryear, designed to gather friends and family for moments of serenity and joy. Completing the floor are a guest bathroom and a convenient cellar, ideal for storing wines and authentic flavors. A wooden internal staircase leads to the upper floor, equipped with two independent entrances: one from the main driveway and the other at the back of the house, from which one accesses a large terrace equipped with a barbecue area, ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners with views of the lake and the surrounding greenery. The floor also hosts a large hallway, a windowed bathroom with a panoramic view, and a double bedroom with a private balcony and cast iron stove, an element of great charm and aesthetic value. The top level houses two further double bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. The original architectural elements – the wooden beams, small windows, floors – have been expertly preserved, giving these rooms an authentic and timeless character. The outdoor spaces complete the property with a flat and panoramic garden, well-maintained and reserved, ideal for moments of relaxation in the open air. A covered patio allows enjoyment of the natural setting in every season, while a gazebo with Jacuzzi offers an area dedicated to wellness, in utmost privacy. The villa combines the charm of tradition with solutions aimed at sustainability: it is equipped with 14 Sunpower photovoltaic panels with optimizers for a power of 6KWp with a 15 KW storage battery for efficient energy management and an electric car charging station, elements that further enhance the property in a modern and responsible perspective. A residence of character on Lake Orta, enriched by architectural elements such as the stone driveway, period furnishings, and functional and convivial outdoor spaces, designed for those who wish to live in an exclusive setting without sacrificing elegance and innovation.

Location: Arola, Piedmont

Considered the most romantic in Italy, Lake Orta is a pre-Alpine lake just a few kilometers from Lake Maggiore and only an hour's drive from Milan and Turin. Already a beloved destination for renowned chefs who have opened famous restaurants here, and for entrepreneurs who have created resorts and accommodations of rare beauty. At its center lies the Island of San Giulio, a symbol of the area, beautiful and unique in its kind, attracting thousands of visitors every year. Among the most characteristic towns, besides Ameno and Miasino with the enchanting Villa Nigra, is undoubtedly Orta, with the Sacro Monte, a historic center full of cobblestone alleys, the central square from which boats depart for the Island of San Giulio, and the panoramic walk among sumptuous villas. On the opposite shore, we find Pella: a delightful town also accessible via a walk starting from the Lido of Gozzano. Not far away is the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso, situated on a rocky spur overlooking the Lake. From here, the view spans a breathtaking, thrilling panorama, made of slopes and green peaks reflecting in the water mirror. Continuing north, first you will find Oira, which is certainly worth a visit, and then Omegna, one of the largest towns, where the Strona stream, curiously, flows backward. The waters of Lake Orta are clear and suitable for swimming, and many sports are practiced: from swimming to sailing, from canoeing to diving. Surrounded by green mountains, there are many trails for walking in nature, also reaching the summit of Mount Mottarone, above Stresa. It is also not far from the Val d'Ossola, a destination for those who love high mountain hikes both in the summer and winter.
