Laqua by the Lake

Switch your mind into screen-saver mode at modernist aparthotel Laqua by the Lake. Its setting – by the silvery waters of Lake Orta, buffered by the misty tree-flocked mountains of Piedmont’s natural parks – spurs idle reveries, while treks, ski sessions and all manner of water-based fun give some oomph to escapism. Lake-side residences of this calibre (dressed in travertine, marble and locally sourced wood) are a rare luxury in this glamorous lacustrine region, and offer romance with a rooftop Jacuzzi or family-friendly seclusion with a huge private garden, as you wish. Celebrity chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo oversees dining, a beach club lets you feel the sand between your toes and a breathing coach brings home that sense of calm; and underlining it all is that tune-in-and-switch-off view.

Laqua by the Lake sits in a small private bay on the eastern bank of Lake Orta (a little sister to lakes Como and Maggiore) in Italy’s picturesque northern water world, in the Piedmont region, a short drive north of Milan.
