Period house near Lake Orta Ameno Piedmont for sale

House dating from 1600 in Ameno on Lake Orta. The property is completely renovated with a courtyard and is located in the historical center. Ameno is a small town in the province of Novara, close to the village of Orta San Giulio located between the hills and coppiced forests bordering on the eastern shore of Lake Orta.
