Lake Orta

Crabbia is a small mountain village,centrally situated on the East bank of Lake Orta. The breathtaking scenery that is the essence of lake Orta surrounds this holiday home. Restored to a very high standard this home can accommodate up to six people.




Lake Maggiore

My favourite!! Only 30 feet from the waters edge on the Fisherman's Island. The island is home to a really delightful 700 year old village. The restaurants are fabulous and there are small beach areas on both sides of the island.The perfect choice for a relaxing, action-packed or culture-orientated holiday.




Lake Maggiore

A spacious and comfortable apartment in a big villa, set close to the town of Lesa on the shore of Lake Maggiore. Excellent value and perfect winter or summer. The train station is very near making it easy to explore if you don't have a car.




Lake Maggiore

Newly built, attractive residential complex. Fully equipped and marvellous views - in particular from the swimming pool with its lakeside panorama. A mere 400 metres from the lake (as the crow flies) and a short distance from the town centre.
