17th Century Mansion on lake Orta with indoor pool and intimate garden

LOCATION

In the northern eastern region of Piedmont, Italy, lies Palazzo dei Leoni,  perfect escape from the daily hustle and bustle of modern life.
Conveniently located only 45 km from Malpensa airport, this 17th century mansion has been completely renovated in 2012, combining luxury materials with modern technology.
All architectural details have been maintained, restored and enhanced. 
Palazzo dei Leoni's features gorgeous 17th century original architectural elements such as wood flooring, large fireplaces and coffered ceilings. All bathrooms are in marble.
The mansion lies in Vacciago, an unspoilt baroque village overlooking Lake Orta and the island of San Giulio (a five minutes drive), which is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
Sacro Monte with its 21 chapels, part of the UNESCO heritage, is also a five minutes drive from the mansion.
All services and amenities are very close. In the Palazzo's close proximity are golf courses, horseback-riding facilities and water sports. The area is renowned for its choice of restaurants, from rustic trattorias to high end culinary establishments to delight even the most refined of palates.
A 45 min drive will take you to the fashion and cultural hub city of Milan for a never-ending offering of cultural events and why not… days of unforgettable shopping!
