Baths - Swimming Pool
"Spiaggia" in Italian means
"beach". Casa La Spiaggia sits on a piece of land directly
on the pebble beach along the southwestern shore of Lago Maggiore
in the attractive lakeside town of Lesa. Can you swim in the
lake? Yes, but the water's cold. If you find it too cold,
there's a swimming pool for your enjoyment right there along
the lakefront as well.
Casa La Spiaggia is a fully
free-standing house set in expansive leafy grounds full of
centuries-old trees. In this setting, you'll find comfortable
garden furniture, barbecue, and table and chairs for outdoor
dining. The house is part of a small compound of a half-dozen
properties, including the owner's villa a short distance away.
Still, even though the owner of the villa occasionally uses
the pool, and no beach in Italy is private, the setting of
Casa La Spiaggia is extremely secluded.
This is a comfortable villa;
it is NOT a fancy villa. You enter into a lovely living room
with a fireplace and French doors and windows that line one
entire wall and look out onto the rose garden and the magnificent
trees. The dining area inside seats 10 comfortably. There's
a spacious eat-in kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher.
Upstairs are Casa La Spiaggia's
five bedrooms - two matrimonial, one unifiable twin, one not-unifiable
twin, and one single - which together share two full baths.
So let's face it: This is not a villa for 4 couples. It's
meant two couples with children; one extended family; or relaxed
folks who can deal with sharing bathrooms.
Lesa is a typical lakeside village,
with grocery stores, restaurants, post office, drug store,
and other simple shops, all at walking distance. There's also
a train station at Lesa, making it easy to take stress-free
excursions up and down the lake by train - and also into Milan
for The Last Supper, the Duomo, and exclusive shopping. In
season, boats and hydrofoils stop at Lesa as well. Indeed,
Casa La Spiaggia is a house where you can actually come without
a car at all.
Activities? Well, you'll obviously
want to explore all of the little lakeside villages as well
as go further afield to Lake Orta, our personal favorite,
and over to Como as well. The Borromean Islands off Stresa
are a must, and so is the botanical garden of the Villa Taranto.
There's a tennis court you can hire by the hour within a 2-minute
walk. This is an area that offers everything from hiking and
boating to outlet shopping to fine dining.
