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.

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.

Everything was as described and the owner very straight forward to deal with. He was extremely helpful in all aspects of our stay. Photos can’t do justice to the views from the property

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.

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.

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.

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.
