Casa Frey apt. 2 at Lake Orta with garden and swimming pool
Two-level apartment. On the lower level (basement), there is a living area with a kitchenette and a small bathroom with a shower. On the upper level (ground floor), there is an entryway with a single sofa bed and a double bedroom. Guests have access to part of the courtyard, which features a gazebo, table, and chairs.
Casa Frey is a charming stone house that has been renovated while preserving the charm of the area’s traditional architecture. Guests can enjoy the garden, which features a swimming pool measuring approximately 4x8 metres and 1.30 metres deep. The exterior of the house has been left intact, while the interior has been converted into 4 apartments. Frey 1, on the ground floor on the left, is a three-room apartment. Frey 2, a two-story unit, is on the ground floor with a basement on the right. Frey 3, on the ground floor, is a two-room apartment. The apartments can be rented individually, in pairs, or even as a set of three. There is a fourth apartment in the house that is rented year-round but does not have access to the pool. The house is located in the small village of Vacciago, surrounded by greenery but not isolated from other homes. The ideal choice for those seeking a relaxing holiday. Just a few kilometres from the lake and from Orta San Giulio. Vacciago is characterised by 18th-century buildings and maintains the atmosphere of times gone by. Casa Frey is a cosy and comfortable home equipped with heating for the colder months. Each apartment has satellite TV. Free Wi-Fi (very slow).
Information about Lake Orta: Lake Orta, whose ancient name was “Cusius,” is a green oasis with alpine features, enriched by wonderful gardens and green meadows in a Mediterranean climate. Lake Orta is truly a “human-scale” lake, for, as a local writer once said, it can “be embraced at a glance.” From both shores, the Cusio region offers visitors the gift of a vast and gentle beauty that invites contemplation and the desire to freeze time in a place one would never want to leave. But Lake Orta, thanks to its tourist-friendly nature, also offers all kinds of entertainment, and sports enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of activities: water sports (sailing, surfing, canoeing, water skiing, etc.), horseback riding, golf, and tennis.
Dining Out: Italian cuisine is famous worldwide, and Lake Orta is no exception. There is a wide range of pizzerias, trattorias, and restaurants to suit every taste and budget.
Milan, the nearest major city, is 80 km away; Lake Maggiore is 20 km away; and Malpensa Airport is 45 km away.
Hiking: There are many interesting hiking opportunities in the area. We provide a guide featuring walks, hikes, and day trips. About 100 metres from the house, the parish church of St. Anthony offers, from its grassy terrace, a beautiful view of Lake Orta with its enchanting island and the 13th-century Buccione Tower.

Es gibt alles was man braucht, Frühstück kann man im Dorfladen besorgen. Auch sehr gut als Ausgangspunkt fürs Rennradfahren oder Mountainbiken geeignet. Das Wlan ist allerdings sehr langsam.

Vielen Dank, Ben und Lea, dass ihr Casa Frey für euren Urlaub gewählt habt! Ihr seid willkommen, wenn ihr zurückkommen möchtet!
Wer nicht die ganze Zeit auf action steht, sondern bevorzugt Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist hier richtig. Gute Wanderwege. Factory Outlet von Alessi in der Nähe. Sehr sauberer See. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Sehr angenehm eingerichtetes altes Haus mit Charme. Großer Garten, genialer Pool. Da die Gegend sehr bergig ist, ist die schnelle Abkühlung im Pool genial. In drei Minuten läuft man zur Kirche, von wo Aussicht auf den See ist, auch prima mit Sonnenuntergang. KLeiner vollständiger Alimentarie mit sehr guten Käsen und Wurstwaren fussläufig erreichbar.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre schöne Erfahrung im Casa Frey geteilt haben. Ich warte, Sie, Ihr Mann und die liebe Huendin Chilly auf den nächsten Urlaub am Ortasee!
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.
