CASA del GLICINE
 
The Casa Glicine is a two room apartment, sleeping 2 to 3 people over two floors, in a traditional house recently restored, with nice views to Lake Orta and to the great snowy mass of Monte Rosa, the second highest mountain in the Alps, looming above the hills.The apartment is located in the village of Vacciago which is "fascinating in a low key sort of way", as one holidaymaker put it.The older houses have great charm, and many holidaymakers staying in the apartments in the village have remarked how enjoyable it is to stroll through the narrow streets to get fresh bread and provisions in the morning.
It's also wonderful to stroll to the little church of Sant'Antonio in the early evening to admire the fantastic view of the lake and island from it's terrace. There is also a modern art collection (the Fondazione Calderara) in the village. The owner of Casa Glicine, runs the shop “La Bottega” in the village (only two minutes walking from the house) You will really enjoy his wonderful “specialità italiane”. The apartment is situated on the first and second floor of the building. A old wistaria decorates the balconies and in Summer offers cool and intimacy. Upstairs, there’s a combined kitchen and living room with a double sofa bed. The kitchen is fully furnished with oven, kettle and microwave. Small panoramic balcony with table for eating out. Downstairs, there’s the master bedroom with the original parquet floor and the bathroom with a shower.
Thus the apartment sleeps two to three people (there are actually enough beds for 4 places).
