Charming Villa Francione - Private gardens and stunning views

Villa Francione is a two storeys design Villa by architect-engineer Arialdo Daverio.

The Villa is surrounded by a planted garden of 3000 m² with fruit trees, berries and flowers. The living room offers a 270 degrees breathtaking view that does not ask to get in, yet the Villa is only 4 min walk to the lake and beach.


There are three double bedrooms, one of them ensuite, and a single bedroom. Every room has a big wooden closet and two rooms have direct access on the garden.

The hearth of the villa is the living room on the first floor, built to have a full panorama view on lake Orta and the San Giulio island.

The villa also has a big covered veranda with lake view, a barbecue and a green open patio.

It is surrounded by a 3000 squared meters private garden, which guarantees silence and tranquility. It is the perfect place for kids to play, and for adults to sunbathe, grill or relax to the view.
Make yourself comfortable in this villa, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.

Villa Francione, Lake Orta
Very nice welcome from the house manager, Danila, who was helpful and charming. Villa was comfortable but it would have been nice to have had some basics in the kitchen such as olive oil, bread and milk, and soap/shower gel in all the bathrooms. Good restaurants nearby, beautiful scenery, delightful area.

The place was very nice and most of it was very good. The location is beautiful and the pictures are very accurate. Danila who gave us the key was very nice and helpful. one thing was problematic - the mattresses in all bedrooms are old, not comfortable and very cracking & noisy. Ilan & Ofra

Fantastic property and location
Loved exploring the local area which was incredibly picturesque with great walking and food. Villa was very well appointed and had stunning views of the lake. The bountiful vegetable garden was an added bonus and it’s worth checking out the wine & cheese shop close to the property.

Tolle Aussicht
Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt, gleichwohl die Bezeichnung Luxusvilla sich auf den Hauptwohnraum inkl des Panoramablickes bezieht. Beides macht den Umstand wett, dass manches in die Jahre gekommen ist. Vermieter(Kontakt) und Danila vor Ort sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, sodass wir insgesamt eine erholsame Zeit hatten. Die Beurteilungen der vorherigen Urlauber sind aussagekräftig und waren hilfreich.

Excellent séjour dans une vaste et lumineuse maison de famille très facile à vivre. En tous points conforme à l'annonce. Les 3 salles de bains étaient très appréciables pour notre famille de 8 personnes. Petites plages publiques à 10 mn à pieds. Accueil très chaleureux de Danila et Gabriele qui ont réglé rapidement nos petits problèmes et nous ont régalés de pâtes fraîches. Et la vue sur le lac est splendide. Un grand merci à nos hôtes !

On a bien profité du salon panoramique vraiment agreable. Les meubles (salon) sont "usés"
Le site nous a permis d'étre au calme, dans un village, à proximite d'Orta (remarquable) et du lac Majeur. La location de vtt à proximité ( Riccardo : parfait) est un plus. L'aménagement piétonnier du bord du lac à 200m de la villa est reposant. On peut discuter avec les jeunes du village qui prennent un bain. Sejour exquis ! alliant sport culture et contacts avec nos meilleurs cousins.

Fantastisch
Die Lage und Aussicht sind einmalig. Im Haus war alles vorhanden, was man sich für den Urlaub wünschen kann. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig; die Terasse und der Garten mit verschiedenen Sitzplätzen sind wunderschön. Wir haben die köstlichen Erdbeeren frisch vom Garten sehr genossen. Beim einchecken war die Verwalterin sehr hilfreich und wir haben sogar für zweimal Abendessen Pasta geschenkt bekommen. Ein unvergesslicher Urlaub.

Außergewöhnliches Haus mit phantastischer Aussicht
Sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Inhaber und der Verwalterin Danila. Sie hat uns mit diverser frischer Pasta begrüßt und sogar eine Geburtstagsüberraschung vorbei gebracht. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet alles, was man von einem Ferienhaus erwarten kann. Der große gepflegte Garten, die schöne Lage und die einmalige Aussicht vom Wohnzimmer und der Terrasse auf den Ortasee machen den Aufenthalt unvergesslich.

Perfekter Familienurlaub
Wir haben uns auf Anhieb wohl gefühlt in diesem wirklich besonderen Haus. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön. Obwohl man von oben auf den See schaut, ist der Weg ans Ufer nie länger als 10 Minuten - und auch kleine Menschen (5 und 7 in unserem Fall) schaffen das gut zu Fuß - zumal auf dem Weg zum entspannten Familienstrand mit Bistro ein Spielplatz liegt. Es gibt auch einige schöne Badestellen mit Steg oder Treppe ins Wasser. Im Haus, auf dem Balkon und auf den Terrassen hat man reichlich Platz und zu jeder Tageszeit ein Schattenplätzchen. Die Betten sind bequem, in den Schränken ist genügend Platz und mit drei 3 Bädern kommt man sich nie in die Quere. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Der große Kühlschrank mit Eiswürfelmaschine hat uns begeistert. Am Schönsten ist das Wohnzimmer mit dem bezaubernden Fliesenboden und den Panoramafenstern. Die Abende auf dem Balkon mit den Lichtern um den See fehlen uns... Die Bahnlinie hinterm Haus hat uns nicht wirklich gestört, eher die Motorradfahrer unten im Ort. Pettenasco hat alles, was man braucht. Supermarkt, Feinkostladen mit Weinkeller und gleich um die Ecke kann man lecker Essen gehen (Vecchio Forno). Ein perfekter Platz für entspannte Familienferien oder Urlaub für 2-3 Paare. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Unser Gastgeber war im Vorfeld immer ansprechbar und hat alle Fragen ausführlich und schnell beantwortet. Das war sehr unterstützend. Danke Gabriele! Und vielen Dank auch an Danila für die leckeren Nudeln und Tortellini!

Vue fantastique le lac!
Très belle maison avec une vue fantastique. La 5 eme chambre est dans un salon, sans fermeture et sans volets… Beaucoup beaucoup de moustiques ! La voie ferrée passe derrière la maison et il y a plusieurs trains chaque nuit ce qui est dérangeant pour bien dormir. Globalement nous avons passé un très bon séjour autour du lac d’Orta et ses merveilles.

Une belle maison d'architecte idéalement située et surtout avec une vue à 180 degrés sur le lac d'Orta. Un accueil au top avec en cadeau de bien venu des pattes fraiches. Quoi de mieux pour commencer les vacances en Italie. La maison est spacieuse, assez proche du lac pour aller au plage à pied et en même temps au calme. Nous garderons de beaux souvenirs de notre séjour.

Ein ideales Haus, ein idealer Ort für entspannte und fröhliche Familienferien.
Wir wurden sehr liebevoll begrüsst und alles gut erklärt. Wir, 7 erwachsene Personen und ein Kleinkind fanden im grosszügigen Haus alles vor was wir benötigten. Die wunderschöne Aussichtslage, die unmittelbare Nähe zum Dorf mit Einkehr- und Einkaufmöglichkeiten und der zu Fuss in wenigen Minuten erreichbare Badestrand haben uns alle erfreut. Der nah gelegene Bahnhof war ideal für die Anreise einiger Familienmitgliedern. Für uns war das Angebot sehr stimmig.

Soggiorno nel periodo di capodanno
Eravamo un gruppo di 8 ragazzi andati per festeggiare il capodanno. Abbiamo trovato la casa in condizioni impeccabili, calda e pulita in ogni dettaglio. All’accoglienza la spiegazione sui vari luoghi circostanti e ristoranti è stata semplicemente perfetta. Sicuramente la parte migliore della casa si trova al primo piano con il soggiorno vista lago che toglie il fiato; dal soggiorno si raggiunge il balcone con una vista magnifica sul lago e le montagne circostanti. Non c’è nulla di negativo da dire riguardo al soggiorno e al trattamento degli ospiti solo un grande ringraziamento al proprietario
