Guest Reviews

• Klaus (10/5): -
• CAROLE (9/5): - L'emplacement, la tranquillité, la beauté des lieux L'équipement cuisine était très succin ! Un simple micro onde autait été très utile.
• CHARLES (7/5): We were charged extra for our sheets and towels, which was unexpected and the kitchen was quite basic with a lack of ser - The location the views and the garden.. It was very difficult to find because the property is not called Villa Orta - as it was advertised.. we searched for nearly an hour and even local people didn’t know the property by this name.. it’s actually called Villa Stresa and the access is quite hidden on a bend with an extremely steep driveway.. the location was convenient for Orta and we particularly like the garden with the views across the lake..
• moore (9/5): -
• Peter (7/5): Camping-Urlaub mit toller Aussicht - Die Lage ist fantastisch. Direkt am See, mit eigenen Zugang und tollem Blick vom Balkon. Nach Orta S. Giulio kann man zu Fuß laufen oder mit dem Auto zum zentralen Parkplatz fahren. Das Apartment ist zwar sehr klein, aber schlau eingerichtet, so dass es nicht beengt ist. Man muss nur aufpassen, dass man sich nicht den Kopf stößt: der Schrank ist um das Kopfende des Bettes herumgebaut (was auf den Fotos nicht erkennbar ist). Das Bad ist modern mit ansprechendem Design. Die Einfahrt zum Grundstück ist extrem steil. Man muss sein Auto also sehr gut im Griff haben und sollte unbedingt vermeiden, bis ganz nach unten zu fahren. (Was dann allerdings bedeutet, dass man sein Gepäck die steile Einfahrt runtertragen muss.) Der mit Abstand größte Kritikpunkt ist jedoch die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber (bzw. dem Management der Unterkunft) und der Art und Weise, wie man als Gast behandelt wird. Man bekommt erst nach der (verbindlichen) Buchung die Information, dass Bettwäsche und Handtücher selbst mitzubringen sind (oder gegen Gebühr gestellt werden können). Auf Nachfrage, warum das in Buchungsbedingungen nicht erwähnt wird, wird einem bloß lapidar gesagt, dass das nunmal so sei. Noch ärgerlicher ist die Tatsache, dass uns erst am Abend vor der Anreise mitgeteilt wurde, dass neben der erwähnten Wäsche auch alle Utensilien (Toilettenpapier, Spülbürste, Seife, Fön, Müllbeutel etc.) mitzubringen sind. Also alles, was in einer Premium-Unterkunft wie dieser eigentlich zum Standard gehört. Es ist nicht nachvollziehbar, warum diese Dinge nicht vom Gastgeber gestellt werden, zumal zusätzlich zu den Übernachtungskosten auch eine (vergleichsweise teure) Endreinigung in Rechnung gestellt wird. In der Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber/ dem Management wird auf Nachfrage nach dem Grund dieser sehr ungastlichen Anforderungen ebenfalls nur lapidar geantwortet. Wir waren eigentlich nicht davon ausgegangen, dass wir einen Camping-Urlaub gebucht hatten.
• Debbie (8/5): Very good - Location was a little out, so had to drive but beautiful view of the lake More condiments left in kitchen - basics - no tea towels, iron etc
• Bryan (9/5): Expensive, but a quality apartment with the biggest private terrace of the property. - Apartment 1A was very good, extremely well equiped (apart from bed linen and towels), View from the terrace was heavenly. We went out of season hence it was very quiet. Others have moaned about the steep descent but to us (pensioners) there was not problem; parking was perfect at the top of the hill. We were there in early November, the heating was excellent! I do not understand why they charged axtra for bed linen and towels. The price was expensive enough for the partment and to add €15 per person was extremely petty. But you did get one roll of toilet paper!! Had difficulty registering because their registration form would not accept my PDFs, would have been nice for somebody to meet us.
• Antje (10/5): -
• Franziska (8/5): - Die Lage direkt am schönen See mit grosser Liegewiese. Die Wohnung ist zwar sehr klein, aber es gibt viel Stauraum, Küche ist gut eingerichtet und es war sehr sauber. Man hat keinen privaten Sitzplatz, die anderen Bewohner müssen vor der Balkontüre durchlaufen. Wäscheständer fehlt.
• Veronique (7/5): - Emplacement parfait pour accéder au lac et se baigner. Résidence agréable avec vue imprenable sur l'isola San Guilio. Dommage qu'il n'y ait personne sur place pour l'accueil. Prevoir d'inclure les draps dans la location ainsi que du linge de maison.
• Johan (9/5): -
• Rachel (10/5): A great place! - Lovely house. Great gardens. Beautiful location. Really well equipped. Nothing!
• Olivier (8/5): Superb but do not rent unit 1B - Everything is great except… Biggest issue is that unit 1B is the only one without any privacy outside. People walk by the front patio door to access their units and the owners decided to make that space the large drink and dinner for groups. People can BBQ about 3m from the room to the point that the choice is either to lock yourself in or leave the room. People Also drive their car or motorcycle right by the room to load and offload their vehicles. Note that there is a busy road about 15m behind the house
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Francis (8/5): Very good - Location superb Ramp from car park to property slippery when wet, needs regular pressure washing
• Tatjana (10/5): Beautiful place! - The location is a 20-minute walk from the village, quiet and by the lake, there is also a private swimming spot. The bed was very comfortable, the furnishings compact and well-thought-out, the view of the lake and the mountains from the room. We liked the possiblity to stay further from the village in piece and quiet, but if you go there without a car as we did, then be prepared to walk a lot (which we do like). It was a little bit difficult to find the place since there was no address written anywhere, but with the help of google maps we found it.
• Stanislav (9/5): Superb -
• Jacques (9/5): Great ! - The flat is very well located only few meters away from the lake where you can make a quick dive. The place is very quiet and easily accessible by car. Bed sheets should directly be included in the price rather than request them aside and pay separately, this would simplify everything. It would be very much appreciated to have a contact on site to solve things quicker than emailing.
• Michael (9/5): Superb - Unfortunately, bit of a dangerous walk along the road to get to the Village, but what a village. Probably the loveliest I have ever visited in Italy. Highly recommeded
• Robert (5/5): Beautiful spot but I can't recommend it as too many issues. - Beautiful location, renovated apartment able to swim at lakefront. Dangerous to exit from property onto main road, needs a mirror to see oncoming traffic. The shower did not drain very well and could flood the bathroom unless you limited the shower flow. There was a floor fitting for closing the shutters onto the verandah. It was sharp and was elevated in the middle of the step. It is a safety issue and someone will cut their foot on it. There was a dishwasher but no tablets supplied for it. Without tablets it is useless. Sheets and towels were not routinely supplied. it was not mentioned in the property description and is the first time I have come across this after renting 20 different apartments in Europe over the last 2 years. The wrong code was given for check in. On trying to contact managing agent had to leave message and later email to get a response. waited 1 hour plus. When informed of correct code no apology was given. When pointed out that it was incorrect code told "no it wasn't, but now it works". Not good enough!!!!!
• Cora_ini (10/5): Private access to lake and swimming all day - Best place I have ever stayed in my life. The location is absolutely amazing! Literally a few steps from the lake with private access. Even though the weather didn't help us at all it was worth it. The bathroom is elegant and spacious (very rare when it comes to Italy). From the pictures we were expecting a large kitchen but it was very tiny. Also to have a good wifi on our room we had to keep our door open, luckily we were alone in the building. But don't let it disappoint you if you're looking for relaxing holidays. You won't regret!!
• Baharan (8/5): Most beautiful private lake garden - The private garden has direct access to the lake. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had the smallest room, which was oke because we sat outside most of the time. The 200 m to the center is not very walk/pedestrian friendly because of the traffic especially at night you must go by car.
• Hanna (8/5): Very good - Beautiful apt on a beautiful lake. Excellent location, and the apartment has everything you need. Internet was not working well. Often got disconnected. Also they had additional charges for towels and linens. We came from the USA, so we did not pack linens for this trip.
