The panoramic views over Lake Orta through the arches of this apartment’s private balcony are stunning. From here you can see the island of San Giulio and the village of Ronco. There are plenty of places to relax within the communal grounds, too, including the outdoor pool, as well as a lakefront Jacuzzi and a spa. And we love that there’s access to a private beach too. Housed in an eighteenth-century residence, you can enjoy the vistas from the impressive open-plan living space as well. Another highlight is the large en-suite with its multifunctional shower cabin complete with a steam bath and chromotherapy. If you can ever tear yourself away, then let your host arrange a private boat tour.
