Located across the road from Lake Orta, this elegant villa has its own private dock and is in the lakeshore village of Crabbia (no shops). The coast road divides the property, with the villa and large garden located slightly uphill on one side, and the lake with private dock on the other side of the road. The town of Orta, where there is a wide range of shops and good restaurants, is only 3km away. This charming medieval village has wonderful palaces and lanes that lead to the ancient square facing the lake where the 16th century Palazzotto stands. This is an area rich in Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Lake Orta, to the west of Lake Maggiore, offers an escape from the busier lake scene of the larger Italian Lakes, while offering a variety of water sports, lush vegetation, and many footpaths from villages into the hills and mountains. From the train station in the village you can reach Milan in about 1 hour 40 minutes and Turin in about 2 hours.

(2 hectares) An independent Italian Lakes villa with a small private dock and row boat, this beautiful rental property has a large garden of about 2 hectares filled with trees and flowers, including a century-old wisteria. The villa is set at the back of the large garden, providing a peaceful location. Adjacent to the first floor balcony is a large patio that serves as a summer living room with sofas, armchairs, and a dining table for 10. To reach the lake and dock you must cross the coast road. Just in front of the crossing is the ferry launch and the gate to the dock with steps down to the lake and landing. At the dock there is a row boat and a ladder to reach the land when getting out of the lake. In the large garden a path has been created for wheel chairs. Another path, not accessible to wheel chairs, leads to the private dock and swimming area.
