Very peaceful and nice place, well located, very welcoming hosts ! Greatly recommended.

Schöne Lage und Garten.

Es war ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Private Unterkunft mit privatem Strand - was will man mehr? Der Parkplatz ist fußläufig gut zu erreichen, aber ein paar Meter entfernt. Es gibt in der Unterkunft eine kleine Küche mit Kühlschrank, Kochfeld und sogar Spülmaschine und Microwelle. In Pettenasco selbst gibt es nicht soo viel zu erleben aber es liegt dennoch Recht gut um die Umgebung zu erkunden, selbst der Bootssteg von Pettenasco, an dem 3x täglich eine Ausflugsschiff fährt ist in rufweite. Bruno ist ein sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber, bei dem es an nichts mangelt. Er hatte alles vorbereitet, war pünktlich und antwortete auf jede nach richt prompt.

Sono stati tre giorni stupendi in una location da sogno, alla casa si accede direttamente da una passeggiata sul lago veramente caratteristica. Dalla finestra c'era una vista mozzafiato e potevamo perfino sentire le bracciate di chi nuotava nel lago. Bellissimo anche il pontile privato, peccato che avendo 2 bambini piccoli non l'abbiamo usato. La scala a chiocciola è un po' scomoda mentre il prato sul retro è perfetto per bambini un po' più grandi dei nostri. Bruno è stato gentilissimo e sicuramente consigliamo la sua casa.

l'alloggio e' splendido, elegante, silenzioso, rilassante, arredato con l'essenziale e di gran classe. L'host e' gentilissimo e disponibile. la location e' di rara direi rarissima esclusivita' rispetto alla media nazionale. Marialessandra L'Abbate

This is a lovely house in the most ideal place. The view is breathtaking and you can swim in the lake directly from your own private garden! Bruno and Fabiola met us upon arrival and took the time to show us where everything was and how things worked. We parked easily nearby and had a great holiday. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Die Lage von Brunos Ferienhaus ist einzigartig ! Direkt am See mit Steg ! Es ist alles vorhanden was man für einen Kurzurlaub benötigt .

Alberta and her family are lovely hosts and were very helpful throughout our stay. The apartment is on the first floor of an old charming villa and has two bedrooms (one double, one bunk bed), a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom with all necessary appliances incl. WLAN. There is also a carpark next to the house for guests. It is about 20m from lake Orta. The house shares a private beach and lake access with a couple other houses - you can basically go for a swim or some paddling within walking distance from the house. There is also a public beach about 3 minutes walk away. A supermarket is in walking distance, as well as a bakery and a small shop and a couple restaurants. Pettenasco has a railway station and public buses.

Très bel appartement en bord du lac d'Orta. Le vrai plus est la plage privée, accessible à 10m. Deux plages publiques sont aussi accessibles à moins de 200m. L'appartement est très propre, fonctionnel et très bien équipé (on a adoré la cafetière italienne). La literie est de bonne qualité.

The apartment is beautiful and spacious. Furthermore, the private area at the lake can be reached in 2 minutes by walking. The host family that is living in the first floor is very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay at Alberta's.

La maison et l'appartement ont le charme cossu de la fin du 19eme siecle et la proximité immédiate du lac et de ses eaux tièdes nous ont convaincus

Bellissimo, l'appartamento è ancora più bello che nelle foto. Confortevole, la cucina è dotata di tutto il necessario. Pulitissimo e vicinissimo al lago. Fantastica la spiaggia privata sul lago d'orta.

L'appartement de Manuel est parfait pour une famille avec deux enfants ou bien deux couples. L'accueil était très précis et la maman de Manuel nous a donné de très bons conseils. Le lieu est tout simplement idyllique, dans une ancienne abbaye du 18ème, avec un parc privé donnant sur le lac d'Orta. Notons que le lac d'Orta a été pour nous, plus beau, plus authentique et beaucoup moins fréquenté que le lac majeur. A recommander!

L'appartement de Manuel est idéal pour visiter le lac d'Orta, on dispose d'un grand et beau jardin avec accès au lac, l'appartement est très mignon et on y trouve tout ce qu'il faut pour se sentir chez soi. On peut aussi prendre le bateau pour Orta juste à côté, et partir faire des randonnées au dessus du lac, je recommande vivement ce logement et sa belle vue!

Fantastisch plekje aan het Ortameer. Speciaal voor degene die houden van rust en puur Italië een aanrader.

Warm welcome by Manuel's mother Patrizia., who proudly showed us the casa. There were some unexpected welcome presents. Small but cosy and well equipped apartment. Part of the time we were with 4 adults. In case of bad weather (we had some rain), the apartment is with 4 rather small. Splendid park, with great view on the lake, Orta and the Island and the mountains. The park has direct acces to the lake. The reserved lying chairs under the big tree near the water side, were an appreciated surprise. We had a perfect time and could easily recommend the appartment.

The flat from Manual was really great. All things were there. It was clean and cosy. The privat beach is the highlight of the flat, only 3 min to walk and you have the perfect landscape in front of you. The communication with Manual was excellent and we hope that we can come back soon.

Séjour super agréable. Tout était parfait, le lieu, l'accueil, les suggestions. Je recommande vivement le logement de Manuel pour un séjour au lac d'orta. Merci à sa maman pour sa gentillesse.

Manuel and his family were exceptionnaly welcoming. Great place to stay to visit the Lake of Orta and lake Maggiore.Beautiful and romantic apartment, very quiet.We really appreciate the garden and the private beach with San Giulio orta view for the breakfast. Highly recommend staying in this wonderful property.

Ottima location, posizione splendida, comodissima per il battello.

Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen, obwohl es schon spät am Abend war. Die Unterkunft war für uns genial gut, viel Platz, eine tolle Aussicht. Es gibt mehrere Terrassen, sonnig und schattig, das Grundstück ist sehr groß und schön angelegt. Der Ort ist überschaubar, es gibt nette Restaurants und der See ist superschön zum schwimmen. Ein kleines Manko ist die Bahnlinie hinterm Haus, wir haben uns aber sehr schnell daran gewöhnt und gut geschlafen.

We loved staying at Gabriele's house, with our 4 and 5 year old children and a baby. Gabriele was very communicative and helpful before our stay, and during our stay, his housekeeper Danila was exceptionally kind and generous with her time, helping us to make the most of the stay and get access to a beach (she even drove us to the hospital at midnight for an emergency visit to the doctor with our baby). The view of the lake from the living room is gorgeous, and the house is just a 10 minute walk from Lake Orta. It is very relaxing with a beautiful terrace and comfortable, spacious and well-equipped rooms and kitchen. Getting access to a beach can be a little challenging during the high season but Danila and Gabriele helped us find a great spot. We loved exploring the region (Lake Maggiore is also a short drive away) and greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Francione. We look forward to return!

One of the greatest week of our life! All our family (2 parents, 4 children) had a wonderful time. Indeed, Gabriele's place is one of the best location to view the broad landscape of the Orta Lake. It is everytime breathtaking: beautiful, pleasant, salvage, grandiose... The village where it is situated is lovely, and we could find there all we needed. We just had to drive 10 minutes (or take a boat) to enjoy Orta and San Giulio Island, both historical and very picturesque places. And, in less than 1 hour, we went to Stresa and the famous, fascinating Borromeo Islands. Very near from the house (5 to 10 minutes walking), you have nice places where you can swim in the Lake, which is an unforgettable experience. The house, both outside and inside, and the garden are exceptionnaly beautiful and charming. We really felt as if we were at home. It was very clean and more than well-equipped. Moreover, Gabriele is extremely nice, involved, enthusiastic and open, and he makes sure that his guests are perfectly well. It is everytime a great pleasure to have a chat with him. Grazie mille, e congratulazioni!

This is a beautifully designed villa on a hill side very close to the lake. The lake has a number of 'jumping off' points - not your traditional sandy beaches but very cute park areas where you can sunbath and swim. The village is very small but has charm and great restaurants and cafes. It also has a great, decent sized, supermarket that sold fresh fish, meat, cheese and bread along with most other things like sun cream and diapers for the babies. You're only 30 minutes from Lake Maggiore if you want something more built up and touristy - we drove there for dinner one night. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 babies. The villa has ample room and the downstairs area is really an apartment unto itself with an en suite. There is one big patio area - shaded - and a big balcony upstairs with amazing views. There are a number of steps to climb to get to the villa so be prepared! It's good exercise but probably not suitable if you're less able bodied. The villa is well stocked and you can't beat the location. The host, Gabriele is the best. He even took us to a place for lunch when we arrived. He's very quick to reply with detail if you have questions. I would recommend this place to my closest friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the house really comfortable. The panoramic views of the lake from the living room are spectacular and are far better than the actual photos on the website. The location is fantastic with easy access to walks in the mountains, swims in the lake and the historic surrounding towns, particularly the beautiful San Giulio. We were really happy to spend a lot of time around Pattenesco with its great deli, green grocer, restaurants and cafes. Gabriele was so helpful; a wonderful host. We hope to go back again soon.

We, a family of 4 people, spent one week in the Villa Francione, and enjoyed very much our stay. The location is perfect for enjoying the many attractions available in the area, the panoramic view over the Orta lake from the living room is great, the garden is beautiful and the Villa is fully equipped. Furthermore, the mobile wi-fi connection device was very convenient as it allowed us to connect wherever we were. We thank Gabriele and Danila for their good communication with us.

The house was very clean, has a beautiful view, is spacious and cosy. Nearby the lovely lake, little shops and restaurants. We didn't meet Gabriele, but had a very good contact by email. The lady that took his place was a wonderful lady. You feel very welcome and at home. The house is very suitable for families with older children or friends, because everyone has a bed- and bathroom of it's own. Some negative points: very nearby there is a railway and in the night it's very noisy. In the evening there were quite some mosquitos. You have to climbe quite some stairs to get to the house. For us no problem, but when you're older it could be.

Nous avons énormément apprécié le contact personnel que nous avons eu par mail avec Gabriele, en amont de notre séjour: nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite en sympathie, avec une personne enthousiaste à partager sa passion pour sa région, et sa maison! Tout a été prévu pour que nous soyons parfaitement accueilli à notre arrivée. La maison nous a beaucoup plu et correspondait en tous points avec le descriptif : la vue sur le lac d'Orta était magnifique depuis la salle de séjour! Une maison idéale, et qui ne manquait de rien, pour notre semaine de vacances. La carte personnalisée de Gabriele, avec les localisations à retenir, nous a donné de précieuses indications, et nous a permis d'être très vite dans l'ambiance locale! Nous n'avons que des félicitations à transmettre à Gabriele et Danila: une adresse à partager !

Very friendly host. Good communication with Marina. Clean and cosy house. All equipement you need for one week is there. Wonderful garden with lake- and mountainview. We spent a wonderful week with our two small kids and our dog!

We loved this quiet, clean, perfectly located apartment in the lovely Pella. Maria and Nicolo were absolutely lovely hosts - friendly, easy to contact and very welcoming. The apartment was perfect for the two of us - including some very thoughtful and useful bits and pieces (salt and pepper, oil, balsamic vinegar, coffee...) - thank you! Right on the lake, this was a relaxing, restorative place we enjoyed very much.

Gute Informationen für Wanderungen und Ausflüge in der Umgebung.

Ein wunderbares besonderes Haus, direkt an der Uferpromenade. Alles da im Haus und im Ort (Laden, Restaurants). Schöne Badeplätze (z. B. Ronco). Selbst im August beschaulich. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen (Bootsanleger um die Ecke), Fahrradfahrten etc.

It seems to me no pictures or description will do Maria's place justice. I have only been Airbnb'ing for a couple of years, and this has been, by far, the best find. The place itself is a great combination of modern amenity and true old world rustic charm. The location is relatively secluded and the PERFECT lakeside apartment. Trust me, we drove around the lake, there's no better location, and the food options, while limited, are EVERYTHING you'll need. Remember, you're coming here for a quiet, beautiful, historic, romantic getaway. This is not a place overloaded with tourists and touristy type stuff. If you want that, go to the other side of the lake. On top of everything, Maria and Nicolò were wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable, communicative and gracious hosts. We were so happy to meet them, as well as getting to know some of the other local folks. We had a great time, can you tell?

A really nice little apartment at a top location right on the shore of Lake Orta. If we had had to spend more time indoors, the living space would have been tight for 4 people but we had good weather and loved the tranquility of Pella.

Un alloggio delizioso in un luogo incantevole. Pace e tranquillità, lo sciabordio delle onde e il volo delle rondini. Proprietaria molto accogliente, disponibile e riservata. Torneremmo oggi stesso!

Great spot in a quiet village. Would definitely recommend it. Waking up to the views is worth it alone.

Cette petite maison est super jolie, confortable et accueillante. Elle donne sur une petite rue piétonne et ensuite directement le lac... Une vue magnifique et l'air ambiant du village est très familier. La communication avec Maria et Nicolas fût agréable et chaleureuse. Je recommande vivement Pella et sa région, pour ses ballades en forêts, ses marchés, le lac, sa bonne cuisine italienne et surtout la Gelateria :) Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour ! A recommander

We had a wonderful week at Allesandros and Natalias place. It is such a nice flat. We had everything we needed there! A nice Restaurant and a Mini Market are just around the corner. The lake is just a short walk away and a hiking Trail starts right across the street. Alessandro and Natalia are very nice people who where very kind and helpful. We strongly recommend this place!

Appartement très agréable, propre et super bien équipé. Idéalement situé pour la visite du Lac d'Orta mais également pour celle du Lac Majeur situé à seulement 20 min en voiture. Accueil super sympathique d'Alexandro et Natacha qui sont intentionnés.

It's a great apartment. All you need is in: oven, stove, washing machine. It has a good bedroom, with plenty of closet space. The bed is good. The kitchen is well equipped, a pleasure to cook in. It has a balcony, lovely to wake up there. The cottage is near the station, supermarket is a 5 minute walk. A little neighborhood super at 30 seconds. 4 minutes walk and you have a nice bar with a lawn at the lake Alessandro e Natalia are very nice hosts. They live next to it, if anything is needed, they are there for YOU If you want to walk through the mountains, ask Alessandro, he shows you on the map what the best routes are for walking. It's a lovely apertment in lovely place

Everything about this place is perfect. It is spacious, comfortable, clean, we had everything what we needed. It is situated close to the town, shops and food store, hiking trails and lake. There is free parking place for the car pretty close to the place. There is also railway station. Alessandro and Natalia are amazing and kind people. They helped us every time we needed it and made our stay in their place a memorable one. Totally recomend it. В жилье есть все, что нужно, Оно просторное, чистое, уютное и очень удобно расположено. Близко находятся тропа для хайкинга (похода в горы), супермаркет, маленькие магазинчики и кафе. Сам город, озера и округа стоят посещения. Недалеко от жилья находится вокзал. Для тех, кто путешествует машиной - рядом находится бесплатная стоянка. Алессандро и Наталья были очень гостеприимны и добры к нам, давали дельные советы и помогли сделать наш отдых незабываемым.

Waren sehr zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Kommunikation war sehr gut und es hat alles reibungslos funktioniert (letzte Minute gebucht). Man hat alle nötigen Läden in der Nähe und sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Strand befindet sich ca 5 min Fußweg entfernt. Wohnung war sehr sauber und sehr gut eingerichtet. Würden immer wieder kommen.

Wonderful, honest and kind hosts. Met us at the flat, showed us the flat, the area for parking and the places to visit and see whilst in Pettenasco. A beautiful flat, very spacious and clean and so modern. All the facilities you need for cooking, cleaning and sleeping as well as storing your belongings like clothes, baggages etc. A magnificent location in a truly stunning village. Kind locals, great local food and wonderful places to see and visit and a beautiful lake area to relax, swim or just sunbath. Would definately go there again and stay with Alessandro E Natalia and would recommend them to all family and friends. 10 out of 10

Bel appartement. Conforme au descriptif, très bien équipé. Hôtes accueillants et sympathiques. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour près du lac d'Orta (2 nuits). Restaurant de qualité, belles promenades près du lac, baignades, visite du Mont Sacré d'Orta et de la ville d'Orta. Deux journées bien remplies !

Die Unterkunft ist komplett ausgestattet, sehr groß und hat sehr viel Stauraum. Jeden Morgen konnten wir auf der Terrasse im Sonnenschein frühstücken. Die Badestelle vom Lago d'Orta ist fussläufig innerhalb von 7 min zu erreichen. Es gibt Restaurants nebst Supermarkt im Ort, die ebenfalls fussläufig zu erreichen sind. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Alessandro und Natalia sind super nett und gaben uns noch Tipps für Wanderungen in den Bergen. Danke für die schöne Zeit.

Lucas house is in a unique position: directly on the lake, there is just a tiny foot path between the terrace and the lake. The house is cosy on the inside, a well equipped kitchen, a very relaxing living room with fire-place, upstairs a stunning bed room with balcony: lying in bed you have a stunning view on the lake! The house is big enough for 4-5people, it's situated near to the lovely centre of Orts San Giulio, you can walk there easily.

I stayed at Luca's house with my husband and 2 children for a week. It was amazing. The location is right on the lake front. So there are beautiful views from the garden and upstairs balcony. Every morning we went off on the canoes Luca provided and then drove to one of the beaches (5 mins away) in the afternoon. This really is a special place. The location is also great to walk into the center of San Guillio for restaurants and the most beautiful square over looking the magical island on the lake. The house is well equipped, spacious and nicely furnished. Luca was also so welcoming and hospitable and my children loved him.

Luca is a very friendly host, very easy to communicate with. the house is very good situated, close to the historical village of orta and also close to the railway station. the house has everything you desire, from kajaks to an incredible view on the lake. very much recommended!

Sehr hübsche kleine Wohnung im Herzen von Orta, die ganze Buchung und Kommunikation waren sehr einfach, ebenso das Check In. Die Sicht von der Terasse ist nicht zu übertreffen!

L'appartamento di Philippa è esattamente come descritto nell'annuncio. La vista dalla finestra della camera da letto e dal terrazzo sono impagabili, esattamente di fronte all'isola di San Giulio. Sicuramente consigliato!

Phlippa and Max were great hosts. Philippa was generally quick to respond before our arrival, were accomodating regarding early check-in and provided clear directions to find the apartment. Philippa also sent us a self-made guide on the apartment and the area, including some great recommendations. The apartment itself is perfectly located, with a gorgeous view from the terrace (note that the terrace is not in the apartment but a rooftop two floors above). The only issue we had was the lack of a working internet connection but 4G saved us. The village and the Orta lake are absolutely wonderful and, if you have a car, staying at Philippa's is a great option in high season to avoid the craziness and high prices of Stresa and other Lake Maggiore towns. I would definitely come back!

Perfect location with the most amazing views. Can't imagine you would get any better views of the lake and surroundings in Orta. Philippa and Max were the perfect hosts, there when you needed them but otherwise unobtrusive. The apartment had everything we needed. This was our second time in Orta San Giulio and we will definitely be back!

Very nice appartment with an amazing view to the lake. A bite noisy outside the appartment in the morning (but normal as it's located on the main square). The appartment is very good value for money, and the private roof terasse view is priceless (maybe one of the best in Orta). Note that Wifi doen't work well and that A/C is subjected to 5Eur per night.

Fantastic location, with the most amazing views and rooftop terrace to have breakfast, lunch and dinner on.

Superbe vue, notamment de la terrasse. Logement bien equipe et très agréable, wifi un peu juste en debit. Climatisation moyennant un suplement ( 5 euros ), parking en sus (10 euros / 24 h). Une très belle adresse.

Appartement tres sympathique avec une position et une vue remarquable.les proprietaire sont charmant.

We arrived at Monte San Giulio late on a sunny afternoon, down a narrow road surrounded by trees in full autumn colours, to arrive at the Hideway, where the views over Lake Orta an the island of San Giulio, were unbelievably spectacular. We were very warmly welcomed by Elke and Jurgen who spent the next hour explaining the house, the neighborhood and the activites we could do, including where to eat at good restaurants. This was always within a lovely ambience whilst receiving some refreshments. The appartment was very modern, beautifully decorated and appointed, with stunning views over the lake from your bedside. In one word - superb. After a short walk down from the house, on a secluded trail, you arrive at the lovely village of Pella where there are good restaurants, a mini market and a boat stop that can take you across the lake to Isola San Giulio and Orta San Giulio on the otherside. We cannot wait to come back.

Wonderful apartment with the best view of Lake Orta. Elke and Jurgen were the most generous and kind hosts who went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. Highly recommend staying here hope we can come back one day.

Elke e Jurgen sono molto ospitali e ti accolgono col sorriso. Hanno messo molta cura nel rendere la casa degli ospiti bella, funzionale. è tutto curato, è un appartamento dove non manca nulla, è molto fresca, ha un letto con una vista fantastica sul lago, una cucina funzionale e fornita. è stato perfetto per rilassarsi, dipingere sul grande tavolo davanti alla vetrata, leggere sulle poltrone e gustarsi il fresco sotto le stelle con una vista sul lago d'Orta e l'isola di San Giulio. E se andte d'inverno c'è anche una stufa a legna per scaldare l'atmosfera. Grazie Elke & Jurgen!

For those who treaure the beauty of nature and peace in life, this is a perfect place, plus with great comfort. The enchanting view of Isola San Giulio in Lake Orta from Elke's hideaway is ultra romantic. Elke and Jürgen's warm hospitality win them he title of super hosts, We definitely look forward to returning to this lovely place again!! Highly recommended!!

Elke and Jürgen are great hosts. From the moment we booked their property, they provided us with a lot of information and got in touch right away. We couldn't praise enough their hospitality, attentiveness and attention to detail. They will make you feel welcome since you step and will greet you with a big smile. Their hideaway property is very quiet, secluded and perfect to disconnect and relax. It's a great starting point to travel to Lake Maggiore, Como, Switzerland...You may need a car to reach the property and move around more conveniently. Pella is a small village with only a handful of restaurants and possibly the best gelato ever! Easy to reach by foot and offers the possibility to travel by boat to either the San Giulio island or to Orta ( a bigger town with more shops, restaurants and amenities). The apartment is kept to a very high standard and its decorated beautifully.

Accueil très chaleureux et sympathique de Ilke et Jorgen. Ils nous ont fait profiter d'une multitude de bonnes adresses. L'appartement est très confortable et bien équipé. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Vue magnifique sur le lac.

Wir haben nicht viel mehr zu sagen als: Wir kommen wieder! Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Elke und Jürgen für eine wunderbare Woche am Ortasee. Wir haben die Atmosphäre und das herzliche Miteinander sehr genossen. Das abendliche "Picknick" im Bett mit dem fantastischen Panoramablick war einfach einmalig.

Well, what a fabulous place to stay. Amazing views, wonderful apartment which was beautifully furnished and most charming hosts. Everything was spotlessly clean and Juergen and Elke even left us a welcome drink. We will definitely be back. Thank you both for opening your home to us. Sarah

Great apartment in a beautiful town. Gian Luca was super helpful in all correspondence and his really sweet dad met my boyfriend and I to show us the apartment. This apartment is not suitable for couples, as there are no double beds. Also, the weather was unusually hot so we were forced to sleep in the kitchen/living room as the attic was FAR too hot to even climb into. No mosquito nets on windows meant we were scared of opening them in the evenings and barely slept because of the heat. There are no doors also, so privacy is an issue. But this apartment would be great for a group of friends or a family especially in not so hot weeks! Would love it in the winter!

Orta San Giulio is a gem of a town. This wonderful apartment is in the heart of it. It is just a few steps from the town square, the lake, great restaurants, wonderful cafes and beautiful and historically interesting religious sites. The location couldn't be better. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is in an beautiful old building. The space is small but nevertheless ample. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a nice table where five or six can comfortably share a meal. There are no less than seven beds in the apartment-- four in the attic, two in the living room and one in the "bedroom" (which is really a small office/study with a fold out bed). Previous reviews have commented that the attic is hot. This is no longer the case. There is an air-conditioner in the attic that cools the entire apartment. We were there during a very hot period in August and with the A/C were very comfortable. Gian couldn't have been a better host-- responsive, helpful and concerned to make sure that we had a good stay. This is an excellent place to stay in a wonderful town.

A very beautiful apartment with a character. Very close to the main square with all the restaurants and the lake Orta. It was clean and tidy with all you need to enjoy your stay there. Gian Luca and his friend were very helpful. There was no problem with changing our check in and check out times which was what we needed after our flights were delayed. I would definitely recommend it.

Nach einem Fussmarsch vom Bahnhof (kann auch in der Bar ein Taxi bestellen für fa 10 Euro) wurden wir gezlich von Signora Stefania empfangen u d zur Wohnung gebracht. Alles super eingerichtet, sehr sauber und sorgfältig gepflegt. Es braucht erwas Sportsgeist, bis man mit Gepäck im 4 Stock ist... Wir fanden im Kühlschrank Wasser, Milch und Saft u d sogar Dolci fürs Frühstück! Grazie!! Es war unsere Rettung, denn Einkaufen von Lebensmittel ist in Orta nur sehr beschränkt und teuer möglich. Dafür gibts leckere Brioches in der Bar Idea Dolce. Dort lässt sich auch Brot bestellen für den nächsten Tag. Signora Barbara und ihr Team sind super nett und hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung ist gut gelegen, ruhig, 2min vom See, wo man baden kann,5min vom Hauptplatz. Da wir 5 personen waren, nutzten wir auch die Schlafplätze im Dachstock. Ist zwar heimelig aber sehr eng und man braucht erneut etwas Beweglichkeit, um über die Balken zu den Betten zu kommen. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl.

Great charming apartment! Location could not have been more fantastic. Gian Luca was very responsible and worked with our schedule by having Stefania meet us at arrival and departure. The apartment was spotless & they left us with some water and juice in the refrigerator. We would stay here again if we make it back to Lago d'Orta! Grazie!

Gian Luca's apartment is beautifully decorated, absolutely perfectly located and very convenient. I was very happy. His father came to show me around, a lady came to collect the key - communication was incredibly helpful, patient and cooperative. An all in all perfect stay!

L'appartement est très bien situé (plein centre d'Orta) et très agréable. Nous n'avons eu notre hôte que par mail ou par téléphone mais cela suffit pour dire qu'il est très serviable. Balcon ou l'on peut manger tranquillement avec vue sur une cour intérieure. N' Hésitez pas à aller boire un coup ou manger à côté , à l'idéa dolce où les serveuses sont trop gentilles avec la wifi en prime.

Great location in the center of Orta. Very atypical apartment, well equiped, the kids have loved the bedroom upstairs ! !! We didn't met with Gian Luca but everything was perfectly organized and he was always available over the phone. We had a great time in Orta.

Juste idéal pour les amoureux des bords de lacs, La dolce vita Et Le calme. Location très fidèle à la description, tout est pensé pour l'accueil et le confort des "voyageurs"! Si vous souhaitez dégustez de La Bonne cuisine italienne, préparez un peu Le terrain en repérant les bonnes adresses! (Nous avons tenté l'impro: ça n'a pas été concluant !)

Parfaitement parfait!!! Maison facile d'accès, idéalement située au bord du lac, vue imprenable, conforme aux photos, moderne, propre, lits confortables. Il ne manquait plus que les clefs du bateau. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir .

Very good. Beautifull house and garden diectly on the lakeside. Everything as described. Thank you Alberto

Nous avons passé un séjour fantastique dans la villa Volpe. Alberto communique abondamment et à très bien préparé les instructions pour l'arrivee et la prise en main ( il y a meme sur place plusieurs livrets+ cartes avec les visites conseillées). Sur place la villa est un véritable enchantement: moderne, trés fonctionnelle et bien aménagée, de grandes baies vitrées donnent toutes sur le lac. Le lieu et la vue sont simplement magnifiques, les photos ne mentent pas. Seul bémol: le bruit de la route lorsque l'on est dehors, mais qui disparaît une fois dans la maison. C'est sûr, nous reviendrons !

The view, the access to the lake and the views all made for a very relaxing few days.

The Villa Volpe is really a breathtaking location! Such a beautiful house with a view that can't be described in words. We had a great vacation and the communication with Alberto was really good and easy. Alberto is very caring. The house is perfect for people with a disability. We will definitely come back.

Der Aufenthalt war klasse! Unsere Erwartungen wurden komplett erfüllt. Die Lage und die Zusammenarbeit mit Alberto war fantastisch. Einziger Kritikpunkt wäre die Internetkapazität von 2 G die Woche. Sonst hätten wir eine wunderschöne Zeit, die wir nie vergessen werden. Danke dafür!

Unsere Tage in der Villa Volpe waren wunderbar. Unsere Erwartungen wurden zu 100% erfüllt. Die Lage, direkt am See mit dem sensationellen Blick hat dazu geführt, daß wir unsere Ausflüge kurz gehalten haben um schnell zurückzukehren. Das Haus ist für 4 Personen super geeignet. Wer es sehr ruhig liebt, den mag der Verkehr, oberhalb des Grundstücks stören. Komplett ruhig ist es nicht.

Appartement très confortable et bien équipé avec une jolie terrasse et une belle vue sur le lac. Les hôtes sont très accueillants.

Beautiful new apartment overlooking lake Orta. I think we were the second guests to have stayed here, Tina, Walter and their daughter Emmanuella looked after us so well. Tina treated us like her children, she is so kind and generous and hard working! Emmanuella (her daughter) lives beside the property and gave us freshly picked mushrooms, cream and parsley to make a pasta meal! The apartment was spotless with some lovely touches such as rose petals scattered around. The view from the small garden right outside the front door is spectacular. A small walk takes you down to a small private beach, perfect for a swim or just to relax in the hammock! It's a 3 minute drive into the nearest village, or a 20 minute walk to another via an old quiet track. This is a quiet location, perfect for some down time and a great base to explore the towns around the lake. We will be back!

We were three adults (extra bed in living room) and had a great stay in Orta. The apartment is perfectly located and with an amazing view! Everything was clean and Stefano greeted us at the parking which was very practical. He even organized us some additional brochures about hikes in the area. It rained 3 days straight but with such an amazing view, we had no problems staying inside a little longer.

Beautiful apartment right on Lake Orta. The pictures show how amazing the view is, four windows provide a panoramic view from the 2nd floor apartment right in Piazza Motta and above Venus restaurant. A serious bonus is the private garage and it's only 200m away. Apartment was clean and a wonderful spot to relax and take in the view. It's also convenient to some amazing restaurants, we splurged for our wedding anniversary and went to the 2 Michelin star at Villa Crespi for lunch and enjoyed Stefano's recommendations for other restaurants and wine bar close by. Highly recommended a stay.

Wonderful romantic location in a beautiful part of the world

An appartement with an excellent view, clean and tidy. Everything we needed was in the appartement.

The location of the apartment on Piazza Motta, right in the centre of the beautiful medieval town of Orta San Guilio, is simply fantastic. Three huge picture windows overlook the lake, with splendid views of the picturesque island opposite, which is a 'must' on the things to see and do on Lake Orta. Lovely to go to sleep with the sound of water lappping beneath the windows! The little town has wonderful restaurants - Stefano recommended La Motta (we went twice) and I Due Santi which were great choices. We spent a week here but found plenty to do.

Great apartment, amazing location and the best view! Stefano communicated well throughout. Would highly recommend!

Nous sommes un couple avec un bébé de 18 mois. Nous avons passé un séjour féerique grâce à la vue incroyable. Tout est fonctionnel et pratique pour un petit enfant. Stéphano est très accueillant et nous a même aidé à monter tous nos bagages. Merci bcp et nous reviendrons au printemps. Jasmine et Fabrice

We really enjoyed our stay at Gli Archi! The views were stunning from every window of the apartment, it felt very special waking-up and having a view out to Island San Giulio. Stefano was very helpful, explaining where we could find local restaurants and amenities close to us. We would definitely recommend staying here in such a lovely, central location!

The location and the apartment were perfect. I was there for my son's wedding, and had guests scattered all over town. It was a wonderful central location, near the church and a 5-10 minute walk to the hotel where the wedding reception was located. The apartment listed internet as available, when it was not. The woman that greeted us told us there was a free wifi signal available on the porch, which was absolutely not true. I had planned on being able to communicate with other guests via internet and instead had to use my American phone at an extremely high cost. It was extremely frustrating! If I had known the situation I would have rented a mobile hotspot. The greeter did not respond to numerous texts sent to her.

Wir (Familie) haben zu fünft in der Wohnung von Francesca gewohnt und uns ausnahmslos SEHR wohl gefühlt. Die Fotos von der Wohnung geben mindestens das wieder, was wir erlebt haben. Es ist einfach wunderschön dort ! Vor allem der Freisitz ist einfach wunderschön vor allem frühmorgens und abends ! Wir sind sehr freundlich - obwohl schweizbedingt komplett verspätet - von Donatella empfangen worden. Sie hatte sogar für die Kinder Eis besorgt !!! Alles völlig unkompliziert ! Die Wohnung liegt mitten im sehr schönen Zentrum von Orta, umgeben von zahlreichen schmalen Gassen in zweiter Reihe zum See. Einige Meter entfernt vom Hauptplatz, aber der kleinere Platz unten vor dem Haus ist eigentlich noch schöner ! Die Wohnung ist großzügig und geschickt aufgeteilt. Man tritt sich auch en einem Regentag nicht auf die Füße. Von einem kleinen Parkplatz oberhalb sind es vielleicht 100m bis in die Wohnung. Das Auto selbst steht in einer Garage vielleicht 400m entfernt. Es ist wirklich alles da, was man braucht - allerdings gibt es kein WiFi/WLAN. In manchen Bars und Restaurants kann man aber natürlich ins Internet und vorne auf dem großen Platz gibt es auch einen offenen Zugang. In der Küche fand sich bis auf ein Glas mit Biscotti nichts. Wer selber Kochen will, muss also "Alles" mitbringen - was ich persönlich sehr gut finde. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet - wir haben aber angesichts der vielen guten Restaurants aufs Selberkochen ganz verzichtet ;) Ich hoffe, dass wir irgendwann wieder kommen dürfen !

We based ourselves here for our wedding in Orta San Giulio and could not have been happier! With over 50 guests attending the wedding we were fortunate to see many of the other apartments in the town - and Francesca's was by far the nicest. Donatella - who carried out the checkin was especially friendly and could not have done anything more to help us settle in. All in all a fantastic apartment in a beautiful town, to which I would hope to return some day.

The host canceled this reservation 281 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Francesca's host on the ground was absolutely fantastic! She thoroughly showed us everything in the apartment and car space. We really appreciated how she bought a 3rd fan for the 3rd bedroom as we were there during a heat wave! The location is amazing with being on the centre of restaurants and possibly a night club/bar on the Friday night. The actual apartment it's self was gorgeous and clean. Finally - Don't forgot your insect spray as without air con they love to bite!

Séjour magnifique dans un logement superbe. Deux parents et deux enfants comblés. Accueil parfait, tout est fait pour faciliter l'installation. L'appartement est grand et original. Espaces sur plusieurs niveaux et ouverts. La terrasse extérieure est juste unique et donne envie d'y passer tout l'été. Le meilleur est encore la situation de l'appartement, au centre du vieux-village, avec tout à ses pieds.

Anche d'inverno il lago è una cosa meravigliosa con panorami mozzafiato. La casa di Francesca è situata in una posizione perfetta per godersi al massimo brevi o lunghe vacanze. Ringrazio ancora Francesca per l'ospitalità ricevuta.

Fantastic location and great communication from Donatella (the property manager). You are literally right smack in the middle of town to walk around, shop, eat at restaurants and ferry across to the island. We chose to do beach clubs everyday with our kids which was a 5 minute drive to some amazing spots on the lake for the day. We fell in love with this village and hope we get another opportunity to visit again! Thank you

Semaine merveilleuse. Le lac d'Orta est un petit coin de paradis, beau et tranquille, pour touristes, promeneurs et baigneurs. La maison est en hauteur, dans un quartier calme, et la vue sur le lac est magnifique. Pettenasco, juste en bas, permet les courses alimentaires de façon pratique. L'appartement d'Annamaria est moderne, tout neuf, et fonctionnel. Des salles de bain grand luxe, une pièce à vivre lumineuse, et un grand balcon pour profiter de la vue. Annamaria a été très chaleureuse et accueillante, nous donnant des tuyaux si besoin, et heureuse de partager sa belle maison. A l'arrivée, serviettes et peignoirs moelleux, couettes douillettes, fruits, biscuits et jus d'orange au frais. Une excellente adresse.

Annemaria was very welcoming and provided useful communication before our arrival. The location of the property is amazing, with lovely views across lake Orta and the surrounding countryside, and lots of walking trails starting nearby. It is a very peaceful location at the end of a narrow country lane, with a huge garden, so there is very much a feeling of having your own space. One thing to be aware of is that although the listing states there are three bedrooms, there are in fact only two, with the third being a sofa bed in the living room. This was perfectly comfortable (I slept on it), but it did mean that I had to be the last to bed and the first up in the morning! Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this lovely area.

accueil tres agréable d annamaria le site est magnifique et le logement agréable et tres bien équipé belle prestation avec un jardin calme annamaria a su se rendre disponible pour tous les besoins de notre sejour merci

The house is located in a very quiet and charming area of Pettenasco. It was the perfect place to relax with a nice view of Orta Lake. The house is exactly as described in the photos with a great garden. Annamaria was very kind to us and gave us good recommendations of what to visit in the region. Our son could also enjoy the ping pong table that Annamaria also put at our disposal. We had a really pleasant stay.

We had a really relaxing time at Annamaria's house. The appartement was new and nicely decorated. The view is great!! Also Annamaria is truely a kind and warm person. A great appartement, located in a very nice beautiful environment. We hope to return in the future.

Un angolo di quiete e tranquillità sulle colline del lago d'Orta. Annamaria gentile, disponibile discreta. Appartamento moderno comodo e funzionale. Vista e panoramama eccezionali.

We spent a really good time in Annamarias house which was very well equipped and we had enough space for us and our three children! Annamaria was a great host giving us some good advices for leisure activities. We were happy to have been at the Orta lake which gives good occasions to swim, to hike in the mountains and eat pizzas and ice-creams at any possibility.Kids happy.....parents happy! We love the Orta lake as it is much less touristic than the lago maggiore which you still can visit in a day trip! definitely to recommend!

We had a wonderful time in the house. The location is great - near the lake but above on the hillside. The house is equipped with everything we needed, the furniture is new and the views are breathtaking. Annamaria is a great host, always available for help.

Emanuela ist eine freundliche Gastgeberin. Wir haben trotz wechselhaftem Wetters eine schöne Zeit in interresanter Umgebung verbracht. Können wir absolut weiter empfehlen.

Not enough stars to rate this place! The full pantry and well stocked fridge at our disposal were invaluable at this private yet central location. We had a very restorative stay and would love to go back some day!

We got a chance to stay in Laura's beautiful apartment and it was a very comfortable experience. The apartment was clean and very well maintained. Apartment had everything to make us feel home quickly. Laura's father was very welcoming and he picked us up at a point 2km away which made it extremely easy to follow the directions and reach the apartment. He also gave us some tips regarding the fireworks happening in lake Orta which made our evening wonderful. For our welcome, Laura kept wine and food for us to make it easier to relax and feel Italian culture. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone willing to stay near Lake Orta.

Die Wohnung ist funktional und hübsch eingerichtet, ideal für zwei Personen. Vor der Wohnungstür ist ein überdachter Platz, der zum Essen, am Nachmittag zum Sonnen und zum Katzenfüttern genutzt werden kann. Wir haben eine üppige Erstausstattung an Lebensmitteln vorgefunden mit Milch, Butter, Yoghurt, Sprudel, Nudeln und selbstgemachter Marmelade. In Erinnerung bleiben wird uns die herzliche Aufnahme und Freundlichkeit durch die Vermieterin, Carlo und alle Hausbewohner. Wie zur Begrüßung ließen sich auch zwei der in Carcegna lebenden Pfaue auf dem Dach blicken. Es war eine tolle italienische Woche.

Emanuela e suo padre sono stati gentili e accoglienti, l'appartamento è pulito, in posizione tranquilla, e dotato di ogni comfort. Consigliatissimo!

L'alloggio rispecchia in pieno la descrizione dell'annuncio Consigliato vivamente

Je conseille fortement ce logement. L'accueil est chaleureux et Carlo, ,papa, fort sympathique. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un agréable séjour et Carlo s'est même chargé de nous remplir le frigo et les placards. Vraiment rien ne nous a déçu, au contraire, la générosité de Carlo nous a beaucoup surpris.

Very good apartment! Laura and her father are very helpful and sympathetic! I can only recommend this appartement, very convenient, confortable and well-located! Thanks again!
