La Quercia is located on the edge of a lovely small village in the hills above Lake Maggiore, just 3 kms from the edge of the lake. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful small towns of Lake Maggiore, and also for those who enjoy tasting the gourmet specialties of Lombardy and Piedmont. The nearest golf course is only 6 km from the property and several well known Italian golf courses can be reached within a 20 minute drive.
The original structure and style of this former 17th century convent have been maintained throughout its recent renovation, and great care has been taken in restoration of the frescoes, in particular. The result is a tasteful mixture of modern facilities, combined with antique furnishings and decor.
There are wonderful views over the calm waters of Lake Maggiore, which can be enjoyed from both the house and the spacious terrace, which is furnished for dining outdoors. A small, hexagonal, spring water outdoor pool (3 x 3m) has been installed in the terraced garden and is ideal for cooling off during hot summer days. A small apartment on the top floor of the villa with a separate entrance is occupied by a forest ranger who has a few limited responsibilities for the maintenance of the villa.
