Leisure
The entire lake is suitable for swimming and for the practice of several water sports: canoeing, paddling, water skiing. The area around is also perfect for trekking and mountain biking: you can enjoy walking on the paths through the panoramic hills above Lake Orta close to the villa, in Pettenasco across the Pescone river or on the Mottarone mountain between Orta and Lake Maggiore, which offers one of the most beautiful and extensive views of the area. In Pettenasco you will also find a tennis court and golf courts nearby (more than 40 clubs located all over the area both for beginners and experts).
It is also an interesting shopping area, from the outlets of the Italian brands to the famous kitchen houseware designed by Alessi, Piazza and Lagostina located in the city of Omegna. And for the wine lovers, at about 30 minutes drive from the villa, you will find famous wineries where you can taste some renowned red wines like Colline Novaresi, DOCs Fara and Boca, as well as Ghemme DOCG and Gattinara DOCG, special sought wines which create a magical combination with the specialties of the local kitchen like the typical cheese such as Toma and Gorgonzola, the prestigious salami, and the rice for the Italian Risotto.
