PRIVATE STRUCTURE. Cascina Bordana, situated on the slopes of the Serra Morenica Of Ivrea, has a 3-hectare park with an olive grove, an orchard and a small spring water pond, a natural habitat for water lilies and cicadas and, in spring, a white heron that comes here to nest. Careful restructuring has restored the farmhouse to its original splendour and the typical warmth of the old 18th century Piedmontese farmhouses. The corridors that connect the two wings of the house are enhanced with elegant trompe l'oeil decorations that render the rooms unique and beautiful. The modern kitchen and the large dining room are the hub of the house; from here you go out to the large terrace with the elegant gazebo, the perfect place for alfresco meals. On the ground floor a large brightly-lit area, thanks to the large skylights and sliding glass wall, houses the beautiful indoor pool in blue mosaic, the fitness area and the relaxation area with sofas, TV and hi-fi. This area allows you to use the pool until late autumn, guaranteeing you a perfect stay. Within the property are other areas such as the Turkish bath with aromatherapy and chromotherapy, central offices with vaulted ceilings and the reception hall; available on request for rent. In a separate wing of the house lives the caretaker who deals discreetly with the maintenance of the park and pool. Please note the presence of the 2 dogs of the guardian. They will be guarded in their enclosure during your stay.
