This villa, almost two hundred years old, which has once been the hunting seat of a count Orsetti, a natural son of Napoleon III., has been carefully restored and is now provided with modern standards of technical comfort. It is situated on an upheaval on the outskirts of the romantic village Caprezzo near Intra / Verbania on the western bank of the Lake Maggiore.Price from 500,00 € to 950,00 € per week apartments:number: 2x If you’re interested in the offer, please contact in time by email or phone to arrange a fixed period for your stay.
Leisure Activities
- If desired the hostess, a doctor of art history and archaeology, who teached languages for more than 30 years will give you a crash course of Italian.
- She offers guided tours around the Lake Maggiore or to the relatively near City of Milano and to the baroque town of Torino. Visits to churches, museums and other sights can be connected with slow – food experiences.
- If you’ve got a roof luggage rack our three canoes and two small sailing boats are at your command. The Lake Mergozzo only a few miles from our house, a rather flat and very clean lake, is ideal for canoeing and swimming. The Lake Maggiore is very deep and a bit colder.
- Just behind our house the very original National park begins. There are many possibilities for climbing, hiking and mountain - biking tours, as well in the Monte Rosa area (The second highest mountain in Europe) about 20 miles from Caprezzo.
- In summer you can visit numerable concerts in the elegant Villas, Parks and churches around Verbania / Stresa.
- From the harbour of Intra (about 15 minutes by car) the ships take you to the famous Borromean Islands, to the most beautiful Santa Caterina del Sasso Monastery, to Borromean castles, to the elegant cities of Stresa, Arona, Ascona and in August to the Locarno Film Festival.
- Naturally you can as well relax and read in the hammocks and deck chairs on our 12 000 m² premises, which consist of terraces, garden and chestnut forest.
