Definitely one of the catchiest, most intriguing, prestigious properties of its kind, La Svolta is a completely private, multi-level villa built on the hills of beautiful Lake Bracciano by an Italian architect and owned by an English artist who has been living here for quite a few years. The circular shape of the main living room, with its large windows overlooking the lake, enhances the exquisite panorama of Lake Bracciano and its beautiful surroundings. Most of the rooms, terraces and outdoor areas, pool included, share the same views. Completely deep-in-the-green and very quiet, featuring a wonderful, large swimming pool with shower and locker room, private lakeside beach, barbecue and outdoor sitting, the villa is gated and has space for 2 or 3 cars. Its interiors are eclectic, interesting, comfortable and adorned with the owner’s paintings. The whole property (renovated in Spring 2007) offers top accommodation for short and medium-term vacation rentals.
