Villa Padiglione

La Foleia is an extraordinary property southwest of Lake Maggiore, which has been recently restored. "Foleia" is the Latin word for "follia", which means folly, madness. From the idea to its realization, La Foleia is characterized by courage, determination and creativity. Once an oak forest, the property became a 4000 sqm lake fed by a private natural spring from the Ticino river. On the two opposite shores of the lake are two houses nestled in nature - Villa Padiglione and Villa Ottagonale. Between the two villas is the pool area with two pools of about 5 x 5 m and sun loungers for all guests' use.
Directly from the terrace of Villa Padiglione, a staircase gently descends into the water. The rooms with their sloping ceilings, as well as a library, make Villa Padiglione an elegant retreat where guests can enjoy views of fruit trees, flowers and statues that wrap around the house like a gentle shelter. The living room is frescoed and equipped with fireplace for spending relaxing hours. The large window fronts lined with neo-classical columns open a beautiful view of the terrace and the lake full of lotus flowers and water lilies, as well as the lush garden. Various patio and terrace areas with dining table and lounge furniture invite you to relax and enjoy your meals.
Villa Padiglione has two bedrooms decorated in soft tones and warm natural woods, each with a simple, bright bathroom.
The property includes a rowing boat for free use and a lovingly restored Landrover Defender vintage car for 8 people, which is happy to accompany guests on excursions by arrangement for a fee. On Lake Maggiore there is also a private motorboat for 4 people, which guests can also use at extra charge.
