Description

In the heart of the picturesque village of Vacciago, just a few steps from Lake Orta, stands this splendid villa from the late 1600s, a residence rich in history and charm, set in a context of tranquility and beauty. The period architecture and original details, such as the frescoed and coffered ceilings, large arched windows, and wooden floors, give the property a unique and refined atmosphere. The main entrance leads to a spacious hall with a frescoed ceiling, introducing the various rooms of the house. On the ground floor, the spaces are divided into two large areas: on one side, an elegant living room with a fireplace, a room with a coffered ceiling, a space for a kitchenette, and a bathroom; on the other, another living area with a lounge, kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The upper floor houses two independent apartments, both very bright and characterized by wooden floors. Each consists of two bedrooms and a bathroom. The apartment on the right enjoys a small covered terrace, perfect for outdoor relaxation, while the one on the left has direct access to the private garden, a green corner adorned with a century-old magnolia. The exterior of the villa extends over a plot of more than 1,100 square meters, a garden perfectly suited for the creation of a swimming pool, making the property even more exclusive. To complete the villa, on the ground floor, there is a large hall with a coffered ceiling, once used as a feeding trough, now transformed into a convivial space with three large arched windows, ideal for receptions or dinners with friends. Although the villa is in a good state of preservation, some renovation and adaptation work is necessary to restore the property to its original splendor and fully enhance its extraordinary potential.

Location: Ameno, Vacciago

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. It is 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. In the center stands the Island of San Giulio, a symbol of the area, beautiful and unique in its kind, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Among the most characteristic towns, in addition to Ameno and Miasino with the enchanting Villa Nigra, is certainly Orta, with its Sacred Mountain, 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 the 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 the Madonna del Sasso, situated on a rocky spur overlooking the Lake. From here, the view spans an exciting breathtaking panorama, made of slopes and green peaks reflected in the water mirror. Continuing north, we will first 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 swimmable, 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, reaching even the summit of Mount Mottarone, above Stresa. It is also not far from the Val d'Ossola, a destination for those who love excursions in the high mountains both during the beautiful season and in winter.
