Villa Arabella

The Italian Lakes


This elegant patrician house belongs to Paul and Arabella Lizioli. There are just three bedrooms decked out in elegant country style, all with stunning vineyard views (as does the large pool nestled in the garden). Aside from the generous breakfast, you can pre-order poolside lunches and delicious home-cooked, three courses dinners, which are served outside beneath the loggia (balcony) in summer.
