A few minutes’ drive from Lake Maggiore, Italy, the two villas of La Foleia seem frozen in time in a setting worthy of the most beautiful romantic paintings. Behind this confidential hotel with four double rooms are Gemma Richards and Niccolò Rignano, who bought the property the same night they first visited. The octagonal villa – Ottagonale – and the neoclassical pavilion – Padiglione – have been restored by them, and decorated with great taste and antiques. A must if you are planning a trip to the Milan area!
