Palazzo Novara is a 17th century mansion in Lake Orta that underwent a total refurbishment in 2012. All the original architecture has been restored with luxurious finishes and all modern comforts. There are large fireplaces, coffered ceilings, incredible wall art and sumptuous furniture throughout. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, flat screen satellite TV and an audio system. 

Spread across three levels the ground floor contains the study, kitchen, dining room, guest bathroom and spa with all areas opening out on to the garden. The spa features an indoor pool (12mx2.5m), waterfall, steam bath, two showers and a WC, all directly accessible from the garden. Up on the first floor is a spacious living area with fireplace, two en-suite bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The second floor has a further two en-suite bedrooms, a library and music room, guest bathroom and laundry. From the top floor you have wonderful views across Lake Orta, the Island of San Giulio and the Monte Rosa. 

Outside there is a courtyard and columned garden with seating for eight, perfect for romantic candlelit dinners and daybeds for catching some rays. The entire property is surrounded by high walls ensuring ultimate privacy.

What Oliver loves...

  • Beautiful Lake Orta, not yet spoilt by crowds of tourists and arguably the prettiest of the Italian Lakes
  • The indoor spa, complete with heated pool and steam bath with direct access to the courtyard with loungers
  • The incredible decor: every piece of art and furniture has obviously been hand-picked by someone skilled in interior design
  • "La Bottega di Edo" delicatessen store is virtually next-door and prides itself for Edo's own locally grown organic food products
  • Approx. 10 minute drive from the property is a beach for exclusive use of the guests with two sun loungers and a canoe.
