The following feedback was received from previous occupants of the apartments. If you wish to take up any of the people below as references, contact details can be supplied.
| After such an enjoyable and relaxing holiday it has been quite
difficult readjusting to "normality" back here in Bucks. We loved the area,
and never felt the need to travel very far from Pella. Casa Fiori was very
clean and comfortable - everything we could possibly want, and our teenage
son very much enjoyed having his own area on the first floor.
The information pack was very helpful, and during the course of the week we discovered some great places to walk/bathe/sit and watch the world go by. People we met in the locality were friendly helpful. We spent much of our time enjoying the views, the weather and savouring the Italian way. Even got to a concert on our last evening which was an unexpected treat. Thank you very much, we are already thinking how good it would be to go back.

| We would like to send our thanks for such a fantastic appartment and
location, the views were stunning and the comfort in the appartment one of
the best we have ever stayed at.
Thank you again for making our holiday so pleasant.

We did enjoy our holiday despite some stormy weather. Casa Bartula together
with Giampiero and Paola were excellent hosts and we did not lack much. The
best part was the tranquillity of the area and of course the view from the
bedroom balcony. Lake Orta is our lake and we loved the boat trips on it.
We hope to visit the region again.
B. & A. Nicolls, |
We have just come back from our trip to Italy. We thoroughly enjoyed
our stay in your appartment. My compliments for the way you set up the place,
so modern and spacious!
Needless to say the view was spectacular. We will certainly recommend your place to friends visiting the region.

| We have just returned from Italy via France. We had a wonderful
time at Lake Orta and enjoyed staying in the apartment very much. We found
it most comfortable and very thoughtfully equipped.
I'd like to have let other apartment users know about the nearby dairy/farm outlet we discovered but I forgot to mention it when we wrote our feedback in the visitors book at the apartment. When you turn right on to the road by the shrine, the dairy is on the left a little way down the road [just before Bolzano Novarese]. We bought some lovely yoghurt and cheese there, and it's convenient for milk too. The people are helpful and pleasant and deserve a mention if you wanted to support local enterprises. [HHLO response: as a result of you pointing this out, we have now added this to our shops page, our new page on local food, and to the location packs for Villa Gelsomina, Casa Miralago and Casa Bartula, all with links to the dairy's own web site, so many thanks!] Your ideas for day trips were great; we did the Monte Rosa funicular, the little railway to Santa Maria Maggiore and the Isola Bella. We found the Miami Beach by doing Walk One, but it was very crowded so we didn't actually use it. The Wooden Spoon was fantastic and we also enjoyed eating at the Venus restaurant in Orta S G - the pizzas were good and the view of the lake and the ducks and boats was even better.

| We had a lovely time in Orta and really enjoyed the three concerts [at
the annual Festival of Musica Antica] we went to during the week. The flat
was very comfortable and it was lovely experiencing more of the every day
life of the village. There was a very nice grocer just along the way from
our flat and the service at Il Buon Gustaio, a delicatessen, by Piazza Ragazzoni
was excellent.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Lake Orta. The weather was beautiful.
The people were lovely. And the place was like a little piece of heaven on
earth. Our accomodation was perfect.We loved it. It was ideally located,
comfortable and had great character. It suited us perfect. We will definitely
be going back to this beautiful part of the world. Thanks for everything
William.

Thanks once again.

We had an excellent time and found the apartment certainly lived up to
its description and name.
Many thanks for giving us such a good holiday opportunity.
M. & J. Whinney, |
We really enjoyed our stay and sampled many of the restaurants and walks
which you recommended. We will not need another wedding invitation to encourage
us to return.

| Hello William,
We had a fantastic time at the lovely Villa Giovanetti. Weather turned out good despite some bad long range forecasts before we left. Wedding went well and just about all of the wedding guests came to have a look at house and wonderful gardens at some time or another. All were very impressed and felt it was excellent value for money, so hopefully you may get some more bookings as a result!! So thanks again for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and we will hopefully use the house again in the future.

My daughter and I had a really wonderful holiday at Lake Orta. We had
stayed in San Giulio 8 years ago and were delighted to find that it has remained
just as we remembered it - a little paradise! The apartment suited us perfectly
- it was a great base, spotlessly clean and the lovely view was a surprise!
Max and his son were very helpful too.
... And the information you provide on your website and welcome pack are excellent! I'm sure we will be returning!

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in both Ciao Italia and Panorama in April.
Both apartments were very well appointed and the views are magnifico!
H. & K. Weir, |
We had a fantastic time at Orta San Giulio. The scenery, weather and
the people were excellent. The Villa was ideal and well placed for easy access
to the town and all its Cafe/Bars. We completed two of the walks you provided
and were not disappointed with the views that they gave us. A place I would
certainly revisit or recommend to my friends.
G. Fowley, |
Hemos estado muy bien en Villa Gelsomina, un sitio encantador, y todo
muy bonito, muchas gracias y esperamos volver pronto, un saludo afectuoso.
A. Tomas and J. Santos and friends, |
