Lovely Orta San Julio
FRENCH :
Ce qui est plaisant : la maison au milieu d'un très grand potager/verger et les bonnes tomates et légumes de Pietro. Les 2 grandes terrasses.
Ce qui est moins plaisant : les trains très bruyants passant à 30 mètres devant la grande terrasse à toute heure mème en pleine nuit.
Le spa tub mentionné dans la description qui n'existe pas de même que la bouilloire électrique.
La douche très inconfortable.
Les propriétaires sont très aimables ; encore merci pour le pot de miel du départ.
ENGLISH :
What's nice : the setting surrounded by an orchard and 2 very nice open air patios with furnitures. The good fruits and vegetables.
What's less pleasant :
The noisy trains running 30 yards in front of the house, even nighty.
There is no spa tub as mentioned in the description and no electric kettle.
The shower is not comfortable at all.
The owners are very nice and Ready to answer questions.

Great view, great hostesses, superb surrounding
We rented the appartement for 8 days and enjoyed every day of it. The fruit and Vegetables we got from the garden were excellent, we cooked almost every night at the house, using the products we got from the owners. It is easy to explore the surroundings by foot, the Beach, the town and the Ferry for the lake are all within a 20 min walk. The owners are excellent hosts, we highly recommend this appartment and hope to come here again.

We found this a delightful place to stay the photos do not do it justice. With views over the mountains and lake from the patio a lovely spot to watch the sunset from. It is in an excellent position to explore the surrounding towns, countryside and of course Lake Orta.
Pietro and Mariagave us a very friendly, warm and informative welcome. Pietro’s baskets of home grown produce (especially the figs) where most welcome. They also gave us lovely treats to come home with wine from Lake Orta and homemade fig marmalade.

Another excellent stay
Great place to stay, handy for the lake , the little beach at Pettenasco, the super town of St Giulio and touring in the hills and valleys.
Pietro and Maria are excellent generous hosts and are good at keeping the client/host balance just right. The addition of mosquito screens and an efficient fan were most welcome this year. Very highly recommended.

Exactly as advertised - beautifully maintained
The hosts who live on site were very helpful with advice on the area and very generous with fruit and vegetables from the smallholding that the house is part of. Superbly clean and tidy, it's well looked after. For us the trains at the end of the property were no problem at all. Would definitely consider a return visit. A good experience.

A charming place to stay on beautiful Lake Orta
We loved every minute of our stay at Pietro and Maria's apartment. The property is set in a beautiful orchard and just up the hill from Orta San Giulio (it was an easy 25 min walk to the centre). The place was spotless and whilst simple, had everything you could possibly need for your stay. The terrace at the back is huge and has the most wonderful views. The highlight though had to be our hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay special, with deliveries of home grown fruit and veg from the garden (delicious) and all the information we could need for our stay. We just hope that our very basic Italian adequately communicated our appreciation!
Lake Orta itself is breathtakingly beautiful and much quieter than some of the bigger lakes, this was the perfect place to base ourselves (9 nights) to explore the wider areas (including a day trip to Milan, Stresa and hiking in the Alps). We would absolutely recommend the place and the lovely hosts.

Peaceful and relaxing
We had a fabulous time at Casa Canvesa.
The apartment was clean and in a beautiful location. Pietro and Maria are so kind and helpful. We especially enjoyed the view from the terrace, the tranquillity (the train rumbling past occasionally didn't bother us at all), being 'away from it all' but close enough to go to the lake everyday for a swim, the animals (especially the dog!) and the delicious homegrown fruits & vegetables that our hosts so kindly provided.
There is a little shop about 10 mins walk away that supplied us with all the extras we needed and a fantastic agriturismo restaurant about 15 mins walk away too.
We hope to return some time and would like to thank Pietro and Maria for being great hosts.

Lovely apartment. Ideal for a young family ky
Pietro and Maria Grazia were the perfect hosts.
My son loved toddling around the large garden, and looking at the chickens.
My wife and I enjoyed the fresh fruit and veggies our hosts so generously supplied, cooked up and eaten outside on the terrace enjoying the balmy Italian summer.
Great location. A lovely find. If you want a base to explore and he Otalan lakes from you could do far worse.
We had a great family holiday made all the more so my our lovely hosts.

L'accueil de Pietro et Maria est vraiment très sympathique et chaleureux. La maison est idéalement placée pour les visites aux alentours (qui sont nombreuses) et la vue sur le lac est apaisante. Certains visiteurs avaient signalé le bruit du train dans leurs commentaires mais ça n'est vraiment pas un souci car il y en a très peu et le bruit n'est pas gênant.Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, merci Pietro et Maria pour votre gentillesse.

Schöner Aufenthalt mit Blick auf den See
Wir haben eine schöne Woche in Orta San Giulio verbracht. Die Gastgeber waren sehr aufmerksam und haben uns einen Korb mit Gemüse und Obst aus eigenem Anbau und zum Abschied eine Flasche Wein geschenkt. Von der Wohnung aus läuft man bergab eine Viertelstunde an den See und 25 Minuten nach Orta. Zurück braucht man länger.

Beautiful location, best hosts
We had a very nice stay and enjoyed the location a lot. The view is amazing and the beach is quite close, just as the beautiful town of Orta San Giulio. Furthermore, we felt in love with the area and its flair.
One thing stood out: the hosts! They are absolutely amazing. They where always there to answer our questions and give us some advice. They even brought us fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. So lovely! When it was quite hot (36°C), Pietro even brought us very cold water.
We are very thankful for our amazing holiday and those lovely hosts!

Entspannter Urlaub mit Kleinkind
Wir haben hier eine wunderschöne, erholsame Woche verbracht. Die geräumige Wohnung ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und für den Urlaub mit Kleinkindern sehr geeignet. Unser 1,5 Jahre alter Sohn hat sich in der Unterkunft gleich wohl gefühlt und hatte Vieles zum Spielen und Erkunden (Schaukelpferd, Kindertisch, Kuscheltier im Kinderbettchen, Kaninchen beobachten). Er hat zudem sehr gerne auf der großen Terrasse (mit gesichertem Geländer) und im Garten gespielt und wir konnten den Ausblick genießen.
Pietro und Maria waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Zudem haben sie uns köstliches Obst und Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten vorbeigebracht – sehr lecker! Vielen Dank!
(Hinweis für Fußgänger: Der erste Straßenabschnitt Richtung Ortschaft hat leider keinen separaten Fußweg. Hier muss man gut auf die vorbeifahrenden Autos achten. Wir empfehlen Trage statt Kinderwagen.)

Schöne Unterkunft in toller lage am Ortasee
Wir haben knappe zwei Wochen im Haus von Pietro und Maria verbracht und haben unsere Zeit dort sehr genossen. Das Haus ist so wie beschrieben, wobei die Lage durch die Bilder nicht so rüberkommt, wie sie tatsächlich ist. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf den See und die gegenüberliegenden Berge ist viel schöner, als er auf den Bildern einzufangen war. Ich habe jeden Morgen genossen, die Klappläden in der Küche zu öffenen und den grandiosen Blick zu geniessen.Vom Haus aus kann man zu Fuß in einer guten Viertelstunde zum See laufen, auch ins Zentrum von Orta lässt es sich gut an dem schönen Uferweg entlang laufen. Den Ortasee kannten wir schon von einem Urlaub vor 5 Jahren, aber wir haben auf zahlreichen Wanderungen rund um den See sowie auf Paddeltouren dem See die Gegend nochmal ganz neu entdeckt. Er ist und bleibt für uns ein kleines Paradies.
Die Unterkunft ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und absolut ruhig- die Bahnlinie haben wir überhaupt nicht als störend empfunden. Der Garten von Pietro und Maria ist herrlich- und dass wir jede Woche einen tollen großen Korb mit Obst und Gemüse vor die Tür gestellt haben, hat uns zu köstlichen Gerichten verholfen!!! Alles sehr lecker und schmackhaft! Pietro und Maria ein herzliches Dankeschön für alles! Die beiden sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Gerne bald mal wieder!

Ein wirklich erholsamer Wohlfühlort
Wir verbrachten im späten Frühjahr hier eine sehr erholsame Woche - nicht nur der Ausblick auf den See und Richtung Orta S. Giulio, sondern auch die sorgfältige Gepflegtheit des sehr nachhaltig betriebenen Anwesens und die räumlich grosszügige Ferienwohnung haben uns sehr gefallen - eine unserer Meinung nach überdurchschnittliche Ferienunterkunft.
