Casa Frey, Apartment 2, on Lake Orta, with a garden and pool

Two-level apartment. On the lower level (basement), there is a living area with a kitchenette and a small bathroom with a shower. On the upper level (first floor), there is an entryway with a single sofa bed and a double bedroom. Guests have access to part of the courtyard, which features a gazebo, table, and chairs.

Casa Frey is a charming stone house that has been renovated while preserving the charm of the area’s traditional architecture. Guests can enjoy the garden, which features a swimming pool measuring approximately 4x8 meters and 1.30 meters deep. The exterior of the house has been left intact, while the interior has been converted into 4 apartments.
Frey 1, on the first floor on the left, is a three-room apartment. Frey 2, a two-story unit, is on the first floor with a basement on the right. Frey 3, on the first floor, is a two-room apartment. The apartments can be rented individually, in pairs, or even as a set of three. There is a fourth apartment in the house that is rented year-round but does not have access to the pool. The house is located in the small village of Vacciago, surrounded by greenery but not isolated from other homes. The ideal choice for those seeking a relaxing vacation. Just a few kilometers from the lake and from Orta San Giulio. Vacciago is characterized by 18th-century buildings and maintains the atmosphere of times gone by. Casa Frey is a cozy and comfortable home equipped with heating for the colder months. Each apartment has satellite TV. Free Wi-Fi (very slow).

Information about Lake Orta: Lake Orta, whose ancient name was “Cusius,” is a green oasis with alpine features, enriched by wonderful gardens and green meadows in a Mediterranean climate. Lake Orta is truly a “human-scale” lake, for, as a local writer once said, it can “be embraced at a glance.” From both shores, the Cusio region offers visitors the gift of a vast and gentle beauty that invites contemplation and the desire to freeze time in a place one would never want to leave. But Lake Orta, thanks to its tourist-friendly nature, also offers all kinds of entertainment, and sports enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of activities: water sports (sailing, surfing, canoeing, water skiing, etc.), horseback riding, golf, and tennis.

Dining Out: Italian cuisine is famous worldwide, and Lake Orta is no exception. There is a wide range of pizzerias, trattorias, and restaurants to suit every taste and budget.

Milan, the nearest major city, is 80 km away; Lake Maggiore is 20 km away; and Malpensa Airport is 45 km away.

Hiking: There are many interesting hiking opportunities in the area. We provide a guide featuring walks, hikes, and day trips. About 100 meters from the house, the parish church of St. Anthony offers, from its grassy terrace, a beautiful view of Lake Orta with its enchanting island and the 13th-century Buccione Tower.
