HORTENSE FARMHOUSE

The apartment is very nice and has a nice view to the lake. The host is very friendly. It's located in a walking distance to the old city and to a very good coffee shop with ice-cream.

The apartment is located in a fantastic position on the hillside above the lake and the center of Orta San Giulio. In 20 minutes you can walk to the city center. There is more than enough space to sit outside and enjoy the magnificent view, but also to play soccer or volleyball. There is a volleyball court, but it is quite overgrown with weeds. The apartment itself is fine. One bedroom is separated from the other only by a wall that doesn't go all the way to the ceiling, and it doesn't have its own window. It is dark and quite stuffy and you don't get the feeling of real privacy. The beds were comfortable, there is a large living and dining room. There is another separate bedroom, so three bedrooms in total. There is underfloor heating. We found the bathroom very cramped. It is fine for four people. With more it would be difficult. The kitchen is fine, everything works. The equipment was moderate, some things were in multiple, other things that you need regularly for cooking were not available at all. However, you could ask for everything. Overall, it is a prima vacation apartment.

Super place, beautiful lacs besides, amazing views… and a great Italian host like Remo - we’ll come back !

We had a great holiday. Easy check-in/check-out at a nice location and we felt very welcome. Maybe a bit too few coffee-mugs/glasses/plates when you are with more people, but we brought our own. And in the evening, but that's everywhere around the lake, mosquito's, but no probleem of you have enough deet-spray.
