This is a classic Italian villa with beautiful grounds and scenic views of the lake and mountains. The garden is beautifully kept and we enjoyed using the pool but sadly couldnât make the most of the grounds due to the poor weather. Dennis the house keeper was incredible and always on hand to answer any questions we had. We did not have a car so we used the local transport - the bus stop and train station is less than a 5 min walk away. There are many towns and villages to explore close by, Porto valtravaglia, Laveno and Luino to name a few. There was everything you needed in the villa, lots of floats and toys for children and sports equipment for adults and kids alike! The villa is very spacious (there were 14 of us) however the kitchen is on the smaller side. The additional cost for another room wasnât listed even though we booked for 14 we still had to pay an extra eur 150 for an added room which was disappointing. You also have to pay for utilities at the end of the stay - so make sure you read the small print before you book. (We were aware) Despite this, Marella the house host was always very responsive and Iâd recommend this villa for a family or large group stay. Very peaceful and serene with very friendly locals!
Wir feierten den 60. Geburtstag mit der ganzen Familie, jedes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad, KĂŒchen-, Geschirr-und GlĂ€serausstattung mehr als genug.Jederzeit Kontakt mit Housekeeper möglich, er erfĂŒllte auch ungewöhnliche WĂŒnsche. AuĂenanlage, Pool und Spieleausstattung auĂergewöhnlich. Wir gönnten uns auch ein 4 GĂ€nge MenĂŒ, das köstlich und sehr liebevoll von Roberto zubereitet wĂŒrde.Vielen lieben Dank fĂŒr diesen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt.
The villa and its facilities far exceeded expectations, it is so much more beautiful in person and the setting is idyllic. The walk back up the hill from the small marina area is not too difficult but well worth it for the views of the lake and the waterside restaurants.
The pictures don't do it justice. This is a fully equipped large Villa with fantastic views of the lake. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. We each had our own ensuite bath. The Villa is walking distance to some great restaurants and plenty of activities. The large pool was a big plus...I swam every day. I highly recommend this property
It's a dream house! Large, spacious, authentically furnished. All amenities available, everything very clean and well maintained. The property is huge with a perfectly maintained garden, large, clean pool, volleyball court, lemon trees, lots of loungers, chairs and tables. The equipment was more than complete. We have never had a house that was better equipped. The contact with the agency, the owner and the caretaker (lives next door) was perfect, we would love to come back!
Wir waren vom 29.06.-06.07. in der Villa Ortensia.
Das GelĂ€nde ist eingezĂ€unt und daher ideal fĂŒr eine Familie mit Kleinkindern und Hund.
BegrĂŒssungsgeschenke fĂŒr Kleinkinder und Hund lagen bereit. Eine sehr saubere Unterkunft.
Es war alles vorhanden, was das Herz begehrt:
Gesellschaftsspiele und diverse Schwimmutensilien fĂŒr den Swimmingpool.
Der wunderbare, grosse Garten mit den vielen Blumen und dem Blick auf den Lago Maggiore waren einmalig.
Der Aufenthalt in der Villa Ortensia ist sehr empfehlenswert.
