Perfect spot for a Lake Orta holiday
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.

What a beautiful place! Everything about Orta is amazing and this house was more than we expected. Private access to the lake to swim and a garage opposite for a small car. Our host Stefano was always available if we needed anything and Mara (his cleaner) made check in and check out simple.

A beautiful apartment with direct access to lake and Orta San Giulio
We had a very enjoyable week at this property in August with my husband and 7 year old son. The apartment is beautiful if not modern, big, with all mod cons, also with some toys and balance boards, with stunning views and direct access to the lake and the town. The neighbours downstairs who stayed a few days were friendly, and our children became friends. A garage was available, which is a must in Orta San Giulio. Stefano was an extremely helpful host, with quick responses to any queries and great instructions and a friendly attitude. Definitely recommend.

Super character home with great location and lake views from the windows
Very helpful host provided bespoke information on the area for places to go and things to see. Well equipped kitchen and a beautiful lounge room. Gave the whole family a feeling of well being. Lake Orta and Orta San Guillo both very pretty and ideal holiday location.

Beautiful house in a magical setting, rare direct access to the lake, and a perfect host
This elegant apartment in a stunning villa makes for a wonderful holiday. Tiled and wooden floors, granite staircase, floor to ceiling windows, beautiful furniture and breathtaking views of the lake and Orta. The garden has a terrace, and perfect seating and viewing area on the boathouse, which is also a great diving/jumping off point into the clear deep water. We felt lucky to have the place to ourselves for 2 weeks (nobody stayed in the first floor apartment during our break). The villa is a 2 minute stroll to the town which has restaurants, shops and wine bars, and you can get a water taxi to the island or other lake towns from the main square. Orta SAN Giulio is a charming town with winding streets, quirky shops, and its Sacre Monte is stunning. The three bedrooms comfortably accommodate 6 people, and the apartment is very spacious and clean. A wide range of cooking equipment is provided, including BBQ. There are lots of books, Wi-fi is good, and Stefano kindly let us use his paddle board on the lake. We swam every day - the lake is clear, warm and calm. The apartment provides a perfect base from which to explore the region, Maggiore and Borromean Islands are about 40 minutes drive, Varallo with its picturesque streets and historic Sacre Monte well worth a visit, a little under an hour away. Mottorone’s Alpyland is half an hour away and great fun. The view of the lake from the Madonna Del Sasso opposite the house is not to be missed. And this is also magnificent walking and cycling country. You can also easily reach Milan and Turin however the lure of the lake proved impossible to resist so we didn’t visit those cities. Stefano is an exemplary host, patient with queries before the holiday, and helped us book restaurants when we arrived. Always quick to respond, but not at all intrusive and we felt privileged to be able to make his wonderful house our home for two weeks. This is a magical place to be, can’t recommend it highly enough.

Property scrupulously clean and well equipped.Very warm welcome from host. Superb peaceful location
As a family of five with three adult children we all really enjoyed a great holiday and would love to repeat the visit. The apartment was very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean with wonderful lake views from the windows. The property was in an outstanding location right beside Lake Orta. One of the highlights of the holiday was the easy access to the lake from the beautiful garden, via the boathouse which had paved steps and a rope handrail leading directly into the water. The lake was very clean and clear and we swam two or three times a day. Wonderful! It was only a five minute walk to get to several small shops and restaurants in the picturesque old town. The most important being a delicious ice cream shop. Boats at the town square could take you to other locations on Lake Orta. The setting of the apartment was so idyllic and peaceful that we were content to stay in the garden by the lake a lot of time rather than do too much exploring by car. Stefano was a most welcoming host. He went out of his way to be most helpful to us and we really enjoyed hearing about the history of the building and his family connection to it. We would have no hesitation in strongly recommending this property.

Beautiful apartment and garden in a fantastic location
This was our family's third visit to Orta San Giulio in the past few years and we again had an amazing time. If you have not been to Orta before, it is an incredibly beautiful lake and the village is unforgettable. The best thing about Orta is that it is still relatively unknown compared to the other more famous and larger lakes and hence it is more relaxed with less tourist traffic. It is hard to beat sitting in the Piazza on a warm evening looking over the lake to Isola San Giulio with a glass of spritz, wine or beer and watching the sun set over the hills. There is also a great selection of restaurants and wine bars etc. Our trip was made even more special by Stefano's wonderful apartment. It sits on the third floor and has incredible lake views, It is very spacious and was clean and well presented. The garden was wonderful and sits right on the water. It's a great place to spend an afternoon enjoying the sun or sitting in the shade under the tree. While the garden is shared with the 2nd floor apartment, we never saw the other tenants in the two weeks we were there. The kids also loved it as they were able to jump off the terrace on top of the boat house, directly into the lake. The apartment is within a short walk to the main Piazza but is also very quiet in the evening. Stefano met us at the apartment and was a warm and friendly host and we were very appreciative of the bottle of Prosecco he left as a gift at the start of our visit. Overall, we would highly recommend the apartment due to its proximity to the centre of the village (about 200m), its great overall condition and spaciousness and its position right on the lake (which is rare).

Serenity by the beautiful Lake Orta
This lovely character home was a delight. We were surprised by the space and enjoyed waking to the beautiful lake views from our bedroom windows. It was very hot when we stayed, cooling off in the lake from the boathouse was wonderful. Spending time in the garden over a long lunch and a good bottle of wine was the thing to do! I highly recommend this property, Stefano was a thoughtful host , we appreciated the wine and chocolates and the lift to the station very much.

An amazing villa on Lake Orta that is possibly the most beautiful lake I have ever seen.
The villa is lovely, the lake is beautiful and Stefano is an extraordinary host. He gave us so much information about local restaurants, local shops and things to do in the area, The apartment is very large with lots of natural light and breathtaking views of the lake. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and the terrace above the boat house but especially enjoyed swimming in the lake. We were so sad to leave this lovely apartment and the wonderful people of Orta San Giulio. We will be back next year!

Fantastic old villa but guests should not expect luxury accommodation.
Wonderful situation and so enjoyed the garden on shore of Lake Orta. Short walk into San Guilio for breakfast, many restaurants and boutique shops. Ideal centre for exploring area and walking. Not too commercialised. We loved it and had a very happy stay 14 May for a week.

Beautiful and well-situated family home away from home!
We arrived on a wonderful sunny afternoon and almost immediately spent the rest of the day in the beautiful garden overlooking Lake Orta!!! We were welcomed by Stefano (the owner) upon arrival, he had already sent us several messages before we left for Italy to ensure that we arrived in one piece and with minimal hassle! He was a great host and always available on the phone if we had any questions about the house or places to visit. We were slightly unlucky with the weather in the middle of our stay as we visited in April so we ended up doing some shopping also - there are plenty of places within driving distance to do so. When the sun was out, we managed to take our children to a local beach area which was very relaxing and safe, we also simply walked around to take in the fresh air and holiday atmosphere! Food is not a problem in Italy although eating out in the local town can be expensive. We made use of the apartment kitchen which had great facilities as well as visited nearby towns like Stressa which had a larger variety of restaurants and things to do also. We also took the boat ride in Stressa to visit two of the small islands in Lake Maggiore and really enjoyed that. The local town is quaint and nice to walk through. We also found plenty of places to have gelato (!) and we also enjoyed visiting the church at the top of a steep road off the main square as well as a small church which faced the lake and many visitors would sit outside to enjoy the view. On our last day Stefano made some enquiries about the cable car service in Stressa and we ended up driving back to Stressa and visiting the snow-capped mountains and having lunch there before we headed back to the UK. The children really enjoyed the snow and going on the cable cars and chair lifts! So for anyone wanting a quiet place to stay with a wonderful garden and view then this place is perfect as it's also within easy driving distance of other towns and attractions - but be sure to have a car as the local town is nice but a bit small and you may want to visit more places if you're there for more than a weekend I imagine. Stefano and his family have been renting their home for a long time (you can read the guest book with lots of positive messages from families/visitors from many countries!) and it's wonderful to stay in a home where we felt extremely welcome and our young children also felt as if they were free to enjoy their time there. Many thanks Stefano and family...!

Great hosts and very elegant lake villa on the water!
Stefan & Stephanie were waiting for us when we arrived, and they took us through the villa explaining things. I thought the description provided by them was very accurate, as you may be sharing the villa & garden. We were there for a glorious week, alone...so we felt very privileged to be in this large villa on the lake! Were in and out of the lake all day, and brought lunch down to the table by the water, sat under umbrellas, read books, sipped wine and enjoyed the amazing view!!! The apartment we had was a great size, with a wonderful sunny kitchen, and then the living room & bedroom that faced the lake....beautiful view. At the weekend, the downstairs neighbors arrived, and then we shared the garden...and that was OK too, but different. There are 2 sets of tables and chairs, so we all chose a spot to settle on. WE did not have much time to chat with them, as we were leaving, but that is something to be aware of (and it was fine). The village of St. Guilio gave me goosebumps- it is incredibly beautiful...as they say, a hidden jewel. We are right off the main piazza, PERFECT walking location to everything. WE think Orta is the best place to just relax with a book, or rent a kayak or hike. It's small but very lovely. Many thanks! We'll be back! And I am thrilled with all of my Loro Piana outlet bargains and my Alessi coffee pots! Thanks Stefan!!! Beth Craig & Eduardo Gonzalez

Leben mit dem Besonderem
Wir (2 Paare) haben die Woche in diesem wunderbaren Anwesen direkt am Meer sehr genossen. Das fing damit an, dass wir nach der langen Autofahrt unser Glück gar nicht glauben konnten, dass wir wirklich direkt aus dem Garten in noch schnell in den See hüpfen konnten, um dann die letzten Sonnenstrahlen auf den schönen Liegestühlen zu genießen. Stephano ist ein aufmerksamer und dabei sehr entspannter Vermieter. Wir fühlten uns direkt willkommen. Das alte Haus ist sorgfältig renoviert und hat dabei seinen Charme behalten. Das zur Wohnung offene Treppenhaus war für uns kein Problem, dazu ist es viel zu schön.Die Lage ist kaum zu übertreffen und mit der Garage auch mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Abends am See essen, danach vielleicht noch die paar Schritte Piazza flanieren, vielleicht noch bis zum kleinen Platz dahinter, wo es das beste Eis gibt. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt und den Einblick in die Geschichte des Hauses.

Entspannung und Erholung im Haus am See
Es war eine besondere Urlaubswoche - als ob uns gute Freunde ihr altes Haus überlassen hätten, um es zu hüten und die wunderbar ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre zu genießen, in großzügigen, stilvoll eingerichteten Wohnräumen, mit herrlicher Aussicht auf den See, von oben aus den Fenstern oder vom Garten aus. Als direkten Zugang zum See wählten wir die Stufen im alten Bootshaus (ohne Boot aber gelegentlich besucht von Entenfamilien) und ignorierten die Stühle vor den Pfosten des Terrassengeländers auf dem Bootshaus, von denen aus wir wohl auch einen Sprung ins erfrischende Wasser hätten wagen können. Angenehm ist es, über den modernen Komfort zu verfügen, der in dem alten Haus wie beschrieben bereitsteht. Trotz der Ruhe ist die zentrale Piazza Motta in wenigen Schritten erreichbar, Spaziergänge auf der Halbinsel, auf Uferwegen oder etwa hinauf auf den Sacro Monte di Orta startet man bequem vom Haus aus. Für größere Ausflüge, Einkäufe und die An- und Abreise ist die Garage direkt gegenüber vom Haus ein großes Plus, um das man erkennbar beneidet wird.
