LAKE ORTA elegant apartment, historical center, max relax, 50 mt from the lake

We stayed at this property with our toddler. The communication with the owner before and during our stay was excellent. The property is very pretty and has everything you need. But some things potentially need updating. Pella is a very small village with a good ice cream place and a small shop directly opposite the property which sells very yummy pizza.

The four of us (two adults, two teenagers) spend a lovely week in Pella. The apartment is located ideally in the village center. Right across the street is a little shop were you can get fresh made pizza and focaccia. 100 m down the street you are at the harbor where you can get superb ice cream and catch the ferry around lake Orta (or enter the lake with your SUP which is super convenient). The Appartement itself has two stories. The upper floor is with two rooms for sleeping and has an AC which was very helpful during the hot days. Lower floor has all the amenities you need for a family of four. Even wifi is available and worked well. Overall a big recommendation and Piera and Paolo are very lovely hosts.

Characterful apartment, Piera was lovely.

We had a great experience staying in Piera and Paolos apartment. They are the warmest and most hospitable owners I have encountered so far with VRBO. The accommodations surpassed our expectations. The apartment is clean, decorated with a lot of pieces from Orta. The kitchen is well equipped where we were able to cook breakfast every morning and cook dinner almost every night which was important to us since the World Cup was on at 8, every night. The dining room table accommodates 6 people . The beds were comfortable and the living room felt like home. The apartment is a stones throw away from the ferry to Isola di San Giulio, Orta, a Gelataria (the best gelato) and 3 restaurants. There is a small market across the street run by a husband and wife who speak a little English. There prices were comparable to the supermarkets in the area. It also a 10 minute drive from 3 private beaches which are Miami, Luci and Lodi (it has a spring diving board built into the water. Great for kids and the young at heart). Its a 5 minute walk to the public beach which is good alternative to the private.There are two beautiful churches near the apartment. Down the main road going towards San Maurizio is San Filiberto which is close to 1,000 years old. It also has the stations of the cross outside surrounding the church. The second church, San Albino, is up the street on your left. Go on a Sunday so you can hear the choir. They were magnificent. The neighbors were extremely friendly and helpful. Make sure you meet Mario who is 92 years young and his family. They will quickly make you feel like a part of their family. We hope to return and stay again at Piera and Paolos. You wont regret it. I miss them already. Arrivaderci!
