La Foleia – A romantic hotel on the edge of a lake in Italy

A real refuge overlooking a small private lake. La Foleia is a fairytale destination in Piemonte in Italy. Once an oak forest, it became a property with a 4000 sqm circle of water filled with a private, natural spring from the Ticino river. On the lake’s two opposite shores are two mirrored houses; one has an octagonal plan, with French windows that frame the water and the statues that adorn its edges from the living room. The other, a neoclassical pavilion, with large windows that open onto a stairway that accompany you into the lake. La Foleia is a magical place where nature is part of a whole and the houses, with their elegant furnishings, are precious stones set in the landscape.
