Description

At 600m.a.s.l., on the hills of Orta's lake west side, the farm is in a very sunny position, quiet and silent. The house is surrounded by an hectare of land of our property, half lawn and half fruit trees woods (chestnut trees and small fruits) nearly entirely at guests' disposition for sun baths, reading or simple relax.
It is a good base for walks, both for easy and quite demanding ones, with destinations going from the discovery of small XVI-XVIII century villages some hundreds of metres afar, to the sight of the lake, to trekking in the woods.
We offer to guests a large double room of approximately 30sm, with the possibility of an additional bed. The room is totally independent and very recently restored, with shower bathroom.
The adjacent hall, where breakfast is served, guests may also use for reading or playing.
