This charming and elegant independent villa is located in the lakeshore village of Crabbia, and is three kilometers from Orta S. Giulio, the major city on Lake Orta.  This villa and the surrounding area will fascinate anyone who loves nature, beauty, and a peaceful atmosphere.

You access Bella Orta by its beautiful and large garden (about two hectares - five acres) where you will find all kinds of flowers and trees.   

Check availability

On the ground floor there is a double bedroom with bathroom with tub, a storage room where is the washing machine and an additional fridge.  There are also three additional storage rooms that remain closed. 

The charming staircase with pink painted walls leads you the first floor surrounded on two sides by a balcony.  On this level you have a spacious elegant living room with fireplace and large French windows.  There is a small but well equipped kitchen, a breakfast room with a table for six, a large bathroom with tub and beautiful ancient mirror and a double bedroom with bathroom with tub.

Outside there is a large garden with a pleasant pathway.  Another path (150m), leads to the private dock and bathing area.  Please note that to reach the lake access you have to cross the Lake Orta coastal road, and children should be accompanied across the road.  Just in from the crossing you have a small ferry launch and the gate to the dock.  There are some steps that could be challenging for people with walking difficulties.

The father of the owner was keen on botany as well as an art collector and the villa and its garden attest to his love for beauty.  The walls are decorated with paintings and antique prints, and everywhere your eyes are caught by the beautiful ceramics and very interesting books in the bookcase.  In the garden the paths have no steps.

The villa can sleep up to nine people in three double bedrooms, one twin bedded room, one single and four bathrooms.  A crib is also available.  Bella Orta is not available in the low season.

About Lake Orta

Thanks to the quiet beauty of the landscape, its fascinating history and its wealth of artistic treasures, Romanesque and Baroque architecture, Lake Orta has long been the destination of poets, artists and writers. 

Lake Orta lies to the west of Lake Maggiore, in northern Italy.  Far from the chaos and the unpleasant "stress of life", this restful area with its blue water and clean air offers the opportunity to rediscover nature.

Mimosas, palms and olive trees grow around the lake as well as azaleas, camellias and rhododendron.  At higher levels are chestnut forests, oaks and birch trees.

There are many footpaths that lead from the towns and villages through the forests up the hills and mountains.

The Mottarone (height 1385 m.) which divides Lake Maggiore from Lake Orta is equipped with lifts for winter sports.  On clear days it offers a charming view of seven lakes, Monte Rosa and the chain of the Alps. 

BIKE TRAILS:  We suggest that you take the funicular railway from Stresa (tel. ++39-0323-30399) at Lake Maggiore, on which you can take your mountain bike up to the summit (18 minutes journey) and descend from the summit towards the slopes of Lake Orta.

WATER SPORTS:  Lovers of water sports will find places to swim in Lake Orta as well as scuba diving, kayaking, sailing and water skiing.  It is possible to rent kayaks, small motor boats and to windsurf.

FISHING:  You may fish at the Laghetto di Bonte Bria and on the West Bank of the Laghetti di Nonio.  There are many fishing clubs in the area.

HORSEBACK RIDING:  There are a number of riding stables at Lake Orta in Miasino, Egro and Invorio, some of which offer riding courses at various levels.

GOLF:  There are numerous golf courses in the area such as Golf Club Des Iles Borromées a Brovello Carpugnino - Motta Rossa, n. 18 holes - mt. 6165 - Par72-S.S.S. 72 and Golf Club Alpino a Gignese, fr. Vezzo, n. 9 holes - mt.5.397 - Par 69-S.S.S.68.
