A Lakeside Escape Where Modern Luxury Meets Natural Beauty

Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Orta, this sophisticated retreat reimagines lakeside living with a seamless blend of contemporary elegance and nature’s tranquility. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows blur the lines between indoors and out, flooding the interiors with natural light and offering panoramic views of the shimmering water and rolling mountains. Whether basking in the golden hues of sunrise or watching mist settle over the lake at dusk, every moment here feels like a scene from a dream—one where time slows and relaxation takes over.

Architectural Harmony: A Testament to Thoughtful Design

This lakeside sanctuary is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, carefully curated to complement its surroundings. Rich natural materials such as travertine stone, polished wood, and sleek marble create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while a soft, neutral color palette echoes the earthy tones of the lake and forested hills. Every suite is designed to feel like a private oasis, with spacious layouts, custom-crafted furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the landscape inside. For the ultimate indulgence, penthouse suites boast rooftop terraces with private Jacuzzis, offering the perfect vantage point to take in the breathtaking scenery.

A Culinary Experience Led by Michelin-Starred Expertise

Dining here is more than just sustenance—it is a celebration of Italian flavors, guided by the expertise of renowned chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo. The Bistrot offers a refined yet approachable menu, championing the finest local ingredients and seasonal delicacies. From exquisite seafood creations and handmade pastas to delicately balanced risottos, each dish is an artful expression of the region’s culinary heritage. With alfresco dining available on the lake-facing terrace, guests can savor every bite while immersed in the enchanting beauty of Lake Orta, making for an unforgettable gastronomic journey.

A Year-Round Destination for Exploration and Escape

Every season unveils a new dimension of this lakeside retreat. In the summer months, the lake becomes an aquatic playground, ideal for boating, waterskiing, and lakeside picnics. As autumn arrives, the surrounding forests glow in shades of amber and gold, perfect for scenic hikes and leisurely strolls through the medieval village of Orta San Giulio. Winter brings a more intimate charm, with nearby Monte Mottarone offering skiing against a backdrop of snow-dusted peaks, while cozy fireside evenings ensure warmth and indulgence. No matter the time of year, this sanctuary offers a refined escape, where modern luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.

A Sanctuary of Wellness: Where Relaxation Meets Innovation

Wellness here is more than just an amenity—it is an experience. The infinity pool, seamlessly blending into the lake beyond, provides a serene setting for unwinding, while the private beach club offers paddleboarding, e-boating, and open-water swimming for those seeking adventure. Yoga and meditation sessions take place against a backdrop of calm waters and crisp mountain air, enhancing the sense of tranquility. For a more cutting-edge approach, guests can step into the cryotherapy chamber, where subzero temperatures provide a rejuvenating boost, awakening both body and mind in a way that is as invigorating as the lake itself.
