Casa Riccio is situated in a panoramic position in the Piedmont region,
on Lake Maggiore's western shore. It is a detached modern house
with extraordinary views over the lake and the castle of Angera.
The area, blessed by a mild climate and an amazing landscape, has
plenty to offer: summer festivals, fine restaurants, romantic strolls
by the lake, quaint little villages and castles waiting to be explored.
Completely independent and built on two levels, the villa is surrounded
by its own private terraced garden (about 1000 sqm). Each terrace is
connected by external stone steps, and for this reason the property is
not suitable for small children or people with walking difficulties.
