The Farm of the Pine is located in Miasino, a small hilltop village overlooking Lake Orta, one of the most picturesque spots in Piedmont. This still-authentic area retains the charm of historic centers filled with period homes, ancient churches, and tranquil atmospheres that invite leisurely strolls through narrow streets and scenic viewpoints.
Just a few minutes away lies Orta San Giulio, a medieval village of exceptional beauty featuring the famous Piazza Motta, which serves as a starting point to take a boat trip to San Giulio Island, home to a Benedictine abbey and surrounded by an aura of spirituality and silence. Trails around the lake connect charming towns, making them ideal for hiking or biking among forests, meadows, and ever-changing landscapes.
The location is also strategic for reaching Lake Maggiore, with renowned spots like Stresa, Arona, and the Borromean Islands, as well as Lake Mergozzo, famous for its crystal-clear waters and quaint stone villages lining its shores. For mountain lovers, the nearby Mottarone offers ski slopes in winter, hiking and excursions in summer, along with a unique view stretching over seven lakes and the Alpine peaks.
The surrounding valleys, such as Val Formazza and the protected area of Veglia-Devero, provide opportunities to immerse oneself in spectacular natural settings, featuring waterfalls, alpine lakes, and rich biodiversity. The region is also a land of flavors: cheeses, cured meats, wines, and typical products from the Piedmont valleys enhance every travel experience.
Thanks to its proximity to Milan, Turin, and Malpensa Airport, Miasino serves as an ideal starting point for exploring the lakes, mountains, and cultural and natural treasures of Piedmont, while simultaneously experiencing the tranquility and authenticity of a hilltop village.
