Charming old house in an amazing location. Everything inside is very clean and works.Stefano is a very attentive and helpful host.

We had a lovely stay by Lake Orta. The apartment is in a fantastic location and it is easy to walk to a range of restaurants/ cafes and kayak/ paddleboard hire. The apartment on the second floor is well equiped, clean and full of character. I would note that it is not self enclosed. Some of the rooms (one bedroom, one toilet and the kitchen) open onto a landing which the owner's adult children and their friend needed to walk through to reach the room they were staying in the floor above. This was a bit of a surprise but they were very polite and not at all intrusive. The garden is lovely looking over the lake but as stated shared with other residents so could feel a bit busy on occasion. It was great having a garage directly across from the apartment, particularly one with an EV charger.We had some nice days out with our teenage children at the nearby alpine rollercoaster (Alpyland) and hiring a boat from Explora Beach, both of which we would recommend. Overall we had a great stay and Stefano and his family were lovely hosts.

Very good on all axes of evaluation

The apartment is charming and in the most beautiful spot with views over the island and swimming in the lake from the garden. Stefano could not have been more helpful and provided extensive information to cover every aspect of our stay. The apartment is only a 5 minute walk from the town. No aircon but Stefano provided us with fans to cool us at night. We loved our time in Orta - it is a very special place indeed.
