Holiday rentals near Cantine Vallana

Another perfect stay at Pietro & Maria Grazia’s property, such a practical setting to go between Orta and the countryside.We look forward to our next visit!

Very good on all axes of evaluation

We were a group of 10 consisting of 6 adults and 4 teenagers. Overall the villa is fantastic. The view over the lake is about as good as it gets. The grounds are spacious and the pool is pretty big and could accommodate all of us. We never felt on top of one another. Inside it’s spacious and over three floors with three spacious bedrooms on the first floor., a single on the ground floor and a double on the lower ground. The kitchen is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. Communication with the owners was first class and they were really helpful. The town of Ranco is very small but there are three restaurants within walking distance, a great bar on the lake, a brilliant deli and a pharmacy. You can also get the ferry to other parts of the lake. The only minor niggle is the water pressure which can be a little weak if two people are having a shower at the same time… but it really was no big deal for us. All in all a great villa and would have no hesitation to recommend or stay again.

We loved the traditional features of this converted old house . It was comfortable and the kitchen was extremely well equipped with mini oven, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, dishwasher and had everything we needed. The split level apartment layout was quirky with 1 bedroom and sofa bed in the hallway- this lead out onto the patio. Down a spiral staircase is the kitchen with sofa bed. This lead outside and up some steps to the patio where we had our own table and chairs over looking the pretty garden with beautiful clean pool. We are family with teenagers but the steps may be a problem for less mobile people or young children - also pools in Italy are not fenced. There is a traditional village grocery store a few minutes walk through the quaint streets of Vacciago and a couple of restaurants about 20 mins walk. The lovely town of San Giulio on lake Orta is a short drive away where we hired kayaks and paddle boards and ate out. Ilaria the manager was very friendly and helpful - her English was excellent and she was available for any questions or advice. We would definitely return.

Have just returned from a truly wonderful week at Villa Cometa. The property is very clean and wonderfully furnished throughout with all the comforts for a great holiday. Cosimo is a great host and was available at all times for help and advice during our stay. We all really enjoyed our stay and would love to return as soon as possible. Thank you Cosimo!

Our stay at I Faggi was a truly wonderful experience & Patricia's enthusiastic welcome made us feel like long lost friends. She greeted us with many thoughtful gifts which was so generous of her, unexpected and unique. The accommodation was very tasteful and comfortable and we had everything we could have needed and much more besides. The local supermarket in nearby Gignese might have been small but it is superbly stocked - brilliant! We especially appreciated the breathtaking views and the tranquility at I Faggi and were extremely reluctant to leave. We will return!
