Casa Fantini – Lake Time is located in the heart of Pella, a small village on the western shore of Lake Orta, right at the corner of Via Roma and Piazza Motta, the heart of village life overlooking the water. From here the view rests directly on San Giulio Island, which can be reached in a few minutes by water taxi departing from the lakefront. The area retains a lakeside village atmosphere, with stone alleys, small shops and restaurants just steps from the property’s entrance, such as La Piazzetta only 9 metres away and Ristorante Imbarcadero at 20 metres.
Travel to the area’s main destinations is easy: central Milan can be reached in about an hour by car, while Milan Malpensa Airport is 30 km away. The nearest railway stations are Pettenasco, 2.6 km away, and Orta-Miasino, 2.7 km away, useful for those arriving by train and continuing by taxi or shuttle. The Sacro Monte di Orta, a protected historic site with its sequence of frescoed chapels, is about 1.8 km away and is a destination for short but panoramic walks over the lake.
Lake Orta can be enjoyed in every season: in summer, boat trips to San Giulio Island, swimming and canoe excursions right in front of the property are ideal, while in the cooler months the trails leading up to Passo la Colma, about 5 km away, offer trekking routes with views of the Piedmont Alps. Cycling enthusiasts will find starting points here for loops around the lake, while evenings are well suited to a lake fish dinner in the village’s restaurants, just steps from Casa Fantini.
