Step in to a magical villa in the Italian countryside

Discover a beautiful villa for sale in the northern region of the Italian lakes. The villa, dating from the mid-1900s, is located along the coast of Lake Orta, surrounded by a beautiful garden for comfort and relaxation, perfect for a rural retreat in the sun.

The decorative style of the villa maintains its wonderful and unique architectural features dating back to the 50s, with colonnades, stones and pebbles on the paths, and the stunning, white colour makes it stand out from across the lake.

From the garden and from the windows of the main house there is a peerless view over the lake and direct access to it thanks to the boat mooring and the private dock. The garden also includes a large solarium overlooking the jetty that is bathed in sunlight that, together with the lush, grassy area, makes this property perfect for sunbathing in summer. Besides this, there is a tennis court in front of the lake, and a small annex with a bar and relaxation area, dressing rooms and bathrooms. This annex can host a keeper 365 days a year because it has a fully equipped independent apartment.
