Loved this place. Spent hours relaxing in the private garden at water's edge, with wonderful views of Isola San Giulio, the wildlife, and boats. Short walk to charming historic village centre. Note that nearest supermarket is in Pettenasco, a short drive away. We stayed for a week at end May and enjoyed the jasmine scent in the garden, the sunsets, and the chattering of swallows. Francesca was very welcoming and super helpful. We hope to be back.
We absolutely loved this beautiful home directly on Lago d'Orta. Francesca was a very helpful, communicative host. Everything was very clean and the home was very well maintained. Very good size for a family or for entertaining guests. Highly recommend for a visit to Orta San Giulio.
Die Lage direkt am See, die Abende mit einem Glas Wein, die Ruhe (am Abend und wÀhrend der Woche), ein altes, stimmungsvolles Haus mit guter Infrastruktur ermöglichten perfekte Ferien. Wir kommen wieder !
Francescaâs house on Lake Orta, just a short walk from the charming little village of Orta San Giulio, was a perfect stay. The house is right on the lake, wonderfully clean and spacious. We couldnât have asked for a more wonderful place to enjoy the lake and itâs surrounds.
Ein sehr schönes, romantisches Haus mit allem ausgestattet. Wunderschöner AuĂenbereich, Zugang zum See ist klasse. Haus sauber, BĂ€der sauber. Paken im Parkhaus fanden wir besser als auf den freien ParkplĂ€tzen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen.genossen.
Danke, Gracie Francesca
The house is pretty and in a great situation, close to the town with direct access to the lake. We loved swimming from the steps on the terrace before an evening drink in the sunshine. Bedrooms overlooking the lake are lovely.
Beautiful spacious lakeside house with access to the lake from the back garden - perfect for our group of friends out in Italy for a wedding in the town. The piazza with its many restaurants and gelato shops is a five minute walk away which makes this a pretty perfect location to just be able to dump the car and wander around the town. Lots of useful things provided (coffee pots, towels, sun beds etc.) but sadly the fishing rod proved unsuccessful at catching lunch.
Parking is in the town car park (10 min walk) at âŹ5/day at the time of writing - vehicle access to the house to drop bags though.
Only downside was that the cleaning fee wasnât mentioned in our original booking, but I think Francesca has rectified this now so it will show up at the time of booking.
Francesca was very helpful, and the house was lovely with everything we needed. A short walk to the main square which was beautiful with restaurants and gift shops. A lovely place to stay.
Francescaâs place was all we expected and more! The house is beautiful and tidy and has everything you can possible need in way of kitchen utensils etc.
The water of the lake is crystal clear and the access from the steps is easy. When we visited it was really warm too. Even our 4&5 year old kids could swim there with their swim rings!
Francesca was very friendly and helpful, thank you F for everything!
When we stayed the weather was very hot (even +37 Celsius) but downstairs it stayed pleasantly cool. On the top floor it was really hot though, but I believe that this really was exceptional heat for June at least.
The restaurants are very close by and there is a little shop for groceries as well as a bakery. For a bigger (and cheaper) selection you might want to go to another village (we went by taxi, but you could cycle too).
Strong recommendation!
Francescaâs Lago dâOrta home was the absolute perfect place for our two families to land after our overseas travel. The house and setting is a fairytale, everything was perfect. The house is beautifully and meticulously kept, the location perfect for quick strolls into the piazza, letting our kids roam free and the lake access so much fun. All of us, grown ups too, had the best time jumping into the lake! We had an incredible stay and will always have fond memories. â€ïž
We very much enjoyed our stay in Francescaâs lovely old house on the lake at Orta San Giulio. The weather was cold and rainy, but we were warm and snug, especially when we lit the open fire. The kitchen is amazingly equipped and the house very comfortable. Francesca went out of her way to be helpful to us in getting to the property and obtaining our provisions. And the view of the island monastery , illuminated at night, is truly magical.
Vermieter: Sehr, sehr freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Ăber Handy wĂ€re jederzeit ein Kontakt möglich gewesen, falls es Fragen oder WĂŒnsche gegeben hĂ€tte. ZusĂ€tzlich haben wir viele Informationen zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten oder Veranstaltungen erhalten. (Nochmals vielen Dank fĂŒr die freundliche Aufnahme!)
Unterkunft: Das ganze Haus war ausnahmslos blitzlank geputzt - vom Geschirr ĂŒber die RĂ€umlichkeiten bis hin zu BettwĂ€sche und HandtĂŒchern. Die Aussattung ist auch fĂŒr gröĂere Gruppen ausreichend und lĂ€sst auch an Regentagen keine Langeweile aufkommen.
Lage: Der direkte Zugang zum See ist traumhaft, die Aussicht auf die Isola San Giulio zu jeder Tages-und Nachtzeit einfach grandios. Bis in den Ort incl. der tĂ€glichen Touristengruppen (bis ca. 18:00 Uhr) ist es nicht weit und fĂŒhrt an einer sehr guten Pizzeria vorbei.
Zusammengefasst: Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen - jederzeit wieder!
Vi var en gruppe pÄ 5 familiemedlemmer som tilbragte 3 dage i dette fantastiske hus. Huset var smukt og praktisk indrettet, og der var meget rent over alt. Og beliggenheden lige ned til sÞen var helt unik. Vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage.
