-Ortaflats- Appartamento Belvedere

The apartment is in the best location with beautiful views

It didn't bother us but you need to be prepared for 3 flights of stairs and a walk with luggage from the garage. Stefano was there to help both ways however.

Excellent location right in the heart of Orta San Giulio with an amazing host, Stefano. We loved the views over the lake and the space worked well for 3 of us. The town itself is so welcoming. Lots of places to swim in the lake near to the apartment. The beds were super comfy, plenty of storage, aircon, plus a shower with good pressure.

Stairs could be a challenge for some but fine for us. It's worth the stairs to get the great views!

Our stay in beautiful Orta San Giulio was complemented perfectly by our accommodation, Appartamento Belevedere. Situated on the top (floor 4th Italian floor) of a former lakeside palace the views from the four windows were sublime - two facing the main square, Piazza Mario Motta, and the ferry jetties and two looking out across Lake Orta towards Isola Di San Giulio. Watching the changing moods of the lake and the Isola from our elevated position throughout our stay was a delight, as was seemingly having the town to ourselves after the daily influx of visitors had left. The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable and well set up for self catering. Host Stefano is an excellent communicator and was very helpful with making suggestions about the town and surrounds and in enabling us to park our car securely (and without additional charge).

There is no lift in the Orta Flats buildings, just quite a lot of steps, so accessing any of the six Orta Flats on the 3rd and 4th floors may be a challenge for some. Grocery shopping within Orto San Giulio is limited, and the nearest supermarket is at Pettanesco, 6km further along the lake.

Location. View. Very helpful and patient owner/manager who was fluent in English.

The stairs and climb to the apartment. We didn't drive but it wld seem there isn't any nearby parking.

Unbeatable location and view in Orta. Apartment has everything you need. Stefano responded very quickly to any request we had. As we were traveling by traveling by train he was so kind to pick us up and drop us off at the station which is a good 25 min walk away.

Location phenomenal with a beautiful view. Felt comfortable and at home. Kitchen very easy to use. Our stay was in mid-January so several businesses were closed for holidays and very few tourists were around. Town centre is very charming and locals friendly. Host Stefano is wonderful, so helpful and accommodating. Up the hill, Sacro Monte di Orta is well worth taking time to explore even if you are not Catholic.

Getting to the town centre from the train station (Orta-Miasino) is difficult without using a car. It is possible to walk but parts of the path are very close to the road and could be unsafe especially with luggage. Ask Stefano for advice if you are travelling without a car and need to make a transfer from the train station. This did not detract from our stay.

Perfectly situated in beautiful Orta ! The two rooms are great for a family ! Air conditioning is great in summer, a second fan would be great !

The view is AMAZING! The flat is dead center of everything. All at your fingertips. And I say again, the view is AMAZING!

Stairs, but the view is worth it. The river stone streets were beautiful but difficult for bad ankles.
