Levo hotels

Loved this place. Spent hours relaxing in the private garden at water's edge, with wonderful views of Isola San Giulio, the wildlife, and boats. Short walk to charming historic village centre. Note that nearest supermarket is in Pettenasco, a short drive away. We stayed for a week at end May and enjoyed the jasmine scent in the garden, the sunsets, and the chattering of swallows. Francesca was very welcoming and super helpful. We hope to be back.

We had a great time in Stresa and the highlight of the holiday was this apartment. The living room and large outdoor area have magnificent views across the lake.

Antonella and Stefano are superb hosts, very attentive without being intrusive. We loved Antonella's apricot tart and tiramisu - thank you! The apartment is on one floor of their beautiful, traditional stone building in the small village of Colma. We particularly enjoyed the fabulous terrace with views over the valley to Cesara and the mountains beyond. It was a great place to enjoy coffee and eating outside under the shade of a huge parasol. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything we needed. Lake Orta is lovely. Much quieter than the bigger lakes and well worth visiting.

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!
