We were welcomed by Andrea, his brother and mother in the most friendly way imaginable.
Their apartment is very cosy and comfortable, with all the modern amenities, and obviously a lot of time and thought has gone into the decorating. The building in which the apartment is located is a lovely old one, full of history, of which Andrea can tell you a few interesting things.
Our children were very happy with the large fan in their upstairs bedroom.
The view from the livingroom (of lake Orta and the island San Giulio) is simply stunning. The town itself must be one of the prettiest of Europe. It was definitely the prettiest one we ever visited!
There is a shared pool in the garden, which was usually only occupied by other tenants in the weekend, so we had it to ourselves a lot of the time.
The lake itself is also very good for swimming, and only a two-minute walk away.
