Laqua by the Lake, a 5-star beachfront aparthotel in Pettenasco, captivates with its serene elegance along Lake Orta's pristine shores.

The 18 luxurious suites exude modern sophistication, featuring air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, Nespresso machines, minibars, and fully equipped kitchens with dining areas. Private bathrooms boast bidets, bathrobes, slippers, and Ortigia toiletries, with welcome touches like wine, fruits, and chocolates. Some suites offer private rooftop pools with breathtaking lake views, blending contemporary comfort with Orta's tranquil beauty.

The on-site restaurant, led by innovative chefs, serves modern Italian cuisine—think lake perch with citrus or truffle risotto—paired with Piedmontese Barolo wines or artisanal cocktails from the chic bar. A buffet or continental breakfast, brimming with fresh pastries, local fruits, and juices, is savoured on a sun terrace overlooking the lake, with lunch, dinner, and brunch options available.

A private beach area invites serene swims or snorkelling, while an outdoor pool, fitness room with yoga and fitness classes, and spa with sauna and massages offer rejuvenation. Guests explore cycling trails or ski nearby slopes with on-site equipment rentals and passes, with bike hire sparking adventures to the Borromean Islands. A 24-hour concierge curates private lake cruises or Orta San Giulio visits.
