  • Villa Meraviglia Region: Lake Maggiore Sleeps: 8
    Villa Meraviglia Region: Lake Maggiore Sleeps: 8 Overview Offering peace, seclusion and stunning views in an idyllic setting on Lake Maggiore in the Lombardy region is charming Villa Meraviglia. With just a few other neighbours sharing the shoreline here, the atmosphere is truly tranquil. And yet a small town full of amenities is just a 15-minute walk away. The lake and mountain views from Villa Meraviglia's lush gardens are the perfect backdrop to any outdoor occasion. Whether that's enjoying pre-dinner drinks, meal or simply a dip in the swimming pool. You can reach the water and small pebble beach from the bottom of the terraced gardens and be lake swimming in no time at all. Villa Meraviglia impresses with its space and unique personality over various levels. It offers comfortable accommodation for up to eight people in four characterful bedrooms; making it ideal for a special family holiday. One of the great highlights is the master suite on the garden level with its sumptuous round bed, jacuzzi tub with lake views and sliding doors leading out to the swimming pool with yet more incredible vistas. Also indulgent is the choice of indoor and outdoor living spaces in which to relax, unwind and dine. Perhaps your favourite area will be the sociable living/dining room with wood-beamed ceilings and a cosy upstairs nook for post-dinner drinks around the open fireplace. Or the dining terrace for al fresco meals with lake views and the perfume of the Italian gardens hanging in the air on balmy evenings.

  • Walks from Orta San Giulio
    Walks from Orta San Giulio www.LakeOrta.com/walks Below are described four walks in the area, which should be undertaken in conjunction with a map (please do not rely solely on the sketch-maps included here) such as Kompass 1:50,000 Number 97 entitled Omegna-Varallo Lago d’Orta on sale in e.g. the newsagent in the main square in Orta San Giulio. The numbers (1), (2), etc refer to the numbers on the sketch maps. Please do pass any comments on these walks to William Schwitzer . Walk 1 Orta San Giulio and the Orta Peninsula This short stroll takes you around the Orta peninsula, at times walking right next to the lake, and seeing more of this little gem of a town. The changing views as you walk around the peninsula are unforgettable. Start and finish from: Piazza Motta, Orta San Giulio Time: About 45 minutes Suitability for children: Restrain toddlers when walking right on the lake front. Description of the walk Follow the sketch map on the next page. From Piazza Motta (main square), turn right, so as to walk north with the lake on your left, through Piazza Ragazzoni . Walk past the Hotel San Rocco, keeping as close to the lake shore as possible (26). Walk past a series of villas. The perspective of the lake and island changes as you round the corner (27) with the rushes growing at the edge of the lake. Keep walking as far along the shore as you can. When the path turns straight inland (28) you can go no further (don’t walk through the private garden in front of you) and have to climb back up to the road (29).

  • Guidaall'ospitalità Italiana Di Qualità
    OSPITALITÀ ITALIANA QUALITY APPROVED Guida all’ Ospitalità Italiana di Qualità in provincia di Novara HOTEL RISTORANTI AGRITURISMO CAMPING Edizione 2009 OSPITALITÀ ITALIANA QUALITY APPROVED Nel biglietto da visita di un territorio spiccano le ricchezze di cui esso dispone: paesaggi, monumenti, storie e tradizioni, prodotti dell’enogastronomia. Queste risorse attirano l’attenzione del visitatore, che le scopre e le percepisce attraverso la qualità della loro offerta. Requisito irrinunciabile per un servizio turistico di prim’ordine è, dunque, l’ospitalità. Consapevole dell’importanza di questo valore, la Camera di Commercio di Novara ha aderito al progetto “Marchio Ospitalità Italiana”, promosso dall’Isnart (Istituto Nazionale Ricerche Turistiche), con l’intento di stimolare un miglioramento continuo dell’accoglienza e del livello qualitativo dell’offerta turistica locale. Questa iniziativa ha trovato ampia rispondenza nella nostra provincia, dove oggi si possono contare ben 116 strutture ricettive insignite della prestigiosa certificazione, di cui 65 ristoranti, 33 alberghi, 10 agriturismi e 8 campeggi. Il riconoscimento del marchio di qualità “Ospitalità Italiana” rappresenta uno strumento di tutela per le esigenze del cliente e, nel contempo, di garanzia per gli investimenti compiuti dalle strutture in termini di servizi ospitali. La pubblicazione di questa Guida, in cui sono riportati tutti gli esercizi pro- vinciali che hanno ottenuto il marchio di qualità 2009, vuole contribuire a diffondere la conoscenza delle eccellenze presenti sul nostro territorio, affinché ogni visita o permanenza nel Novarese possa rivelarsi un’esperienza ricca di soddisfazione. Il Presidente Ing. Gianfredo Comazzi When a territory introduces itself to the public, it shows its reaches: landscape, monu- ments, history and tradition, wine and good food.
