"Villa
Roma" in the small village of Carcegna:
A charming 17th century stone building with 3 separate apartments.
Villa Roma is a solid, stone-built house, reminding us of times
gone-by. This charming building seems to embrace visitors and
reward them with a simple and relaxing atmosphere.
The village itself, perched on a hill above the lake, is a reminder
of a lost way of life. One can walk through the narrow streets
and take the old footpath to the communal wash house where is
still possible to see the village women at work. This paradise
is only two km from Orta, the small and busy “capital”
of the lake, with its wide range of restaurants, cafes and trattorias.
Parking at the Villa Roma is about 200metres away in a convenient
public parking area. However, cars can be taken right up to
the villa for loading and unloading
The Villa Roma has recently undergone a partial restoration
which has transformed the building into three separate, first
floor apartments. Each apartment has its own private outdoor
spaces and provides a delightful combination of old world charm
and modern – all in all, everything needed for a cosy
holiday.
Should accommodation for a large group be needed, then the entire
villa will take more than 12 people in comfort.
