We were looking for a relaxing base from which to explore the Lake Orta region. Ilaria’s place was perfect for our needs! It was spotlessly clean and private (just a single neighbour next door but not directly overlooked), and had all the amenities needed for our family break. The views from the outside patio of the house are lovely and the pool was a welcome addition for hot afternoons spent relaxing at the house. Ilaria was an excellent host. Communication and pre-arrival support was second-to-none and she was present for check-in to help us settle in. It is a short walk from the house into the beautiful Vacciago village where there is a lovely small store for essentials. There are several supermarkets about a 10 minute drive away in Gozzano. Vacciago is a pretty village. There are walking trails from the door and the Foundazione Calderara art gallery is worth a visit. We walked, down through the pretty village of Corconio, to the free public beach at Spaggia Miami to swim in the lake, as well as driving down and spending a day at the private beach club there. We drove into the stunning Orta San Giulio on several mornings and evenings, parking at Via Panoramic. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful town, walked the lakeside path, visited the Sacro Monte di Orta, took the boat to Isola San Giulio and enjoyed drinks and meals in various restaurants and bars. We drove round the lake to visit Omegna and Pella and also drove to Stresa on Lake Maggiore one evening. Perfect!
