Large villa in a splendid location
We had a great family stay in this very large house. Everything was very comfortable, except for the kitchen that is really old and the dinner table too small for 10. The location is fantastic, a short walk to Orta and its restaurants and shops. The garden was very large and nice, even though we could not take full advantage of it because of the rain.

Beautiful Lake Orta
Lake Orta with its clear, warm water is an ideal family holiday spot, and Orta San Giulio is a lovely village that has managed to hold on to its authentic antiquity. A rare delight. And for a family of 8 with 3 children under ten, Stefano’s Terrace on the Lake was a happy find. The villa is large and very comfortably appointed, communication with Stefano or his agents very pleasant and helpful. The villa is situated in the village so restaurants and cafes are a short stroll from the bottom of the very large garden. It occupies a slightly elevated position so the views are wonderful. The only drawback was the lack of cloths drying facilities. One airing frame among 8 people proved most inadequate especially as we experienced some wet weather. However we discussed this with Stefano‘s agent and have no doubt that will be put to rights. Overall a most delightful stay. Thank you, Stefano. P Cade, Melbourne. Australia.

Une villa de rêve
Nous avons adoré notre semaine dans cette villa magnifique au milieu d'un immense parc fleuri d'hortensias bleus donnant sur le lac et sa petite île. Situation exceptionnelle à deux pas du centre de la jolie petite ville d'Orta San Giulio et de la baignade. Accueil très chaleureux d'Elisabetta. Juste un bémol sur la cuisine un peu petite et sur les salles de bain, nombreuses, mais à l'équipement un peu vétuste. Ce qui ne nous empêche pas de garder un merveilleux souvenir de notre séjour !

Super location and views....house in need of renovation
We stayed for 6 nights in Belvedere and loved the location, terrace and gardens of the house. The living area is very nice and the layout of the house also. The only problem is that the bathrooms and kitchen are in serious need of some renovation. There is only a trickle of water in the showers and the bathrooms are just old and uninviting. The bed mattress in the downstairs room is also very hard and lumpy. The kitchen is functional and has all you need but also here, things are just old and run down. The extra fee for Internet and bed linen and towels surprised me as I have never had that before. A little annoying as those really are necessities when renting a house. We enjoyed our stay - in just a few minutes walking you are in the small town with shops and restaurants or you can jump in the lake for a swim (out of the gate at the bottom of the garden). The lake is gorgeous and there is plenty to do. Angela was very helpful - we lost power after a big storm but had it on again in no time. I would recommend the house for the location and the terrace and living area, however if you are sensitive to bathrooms and bedrooms then lower your expectations.

Highlight mit kleinen Mängeln
ein wunderschön gelegenes Haus mit tollem Blick; das Haus ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, die 3 Badezimmer müßten erneuert werden, die Duschen waren leider nur ein Rinnsal;
