“Delightful, relaxing and uplifting.”

Attractive, spacious, beautiful details. Fabulous view from extensive balcony. Kind and helpful owners living in ground floor of the house. Access to private “beach” on the lake a short drive away.

Amazing views. Beautiful outside seating area. Friendly owners.

“Amazing you could not fault the beauty that is Lake Orta.”

The hosts were amazing and accessible. The property itself had everything we needed for a comfortable home from home feel.

“wonderful hosts”

Lovely homely Bed and Breakfast with a beautiful terrace and great views. Tina and Walter are lovely hosts and made us feel so welcome into their home, although the accommodation is separate entrance so also private. The parking access is great and we enjoyed dinner within easy walking distance at the Osteria and Pizzeria

“A stunning place & perfect hosts.”

Such a warm welcome from our hosts, Tina & Walter, a delightful couple who went out of their way to make us feel at home. We booked B&B Aurora for our honeymoon and couldn't have chosen a better place which is set on the hillside with glorious views of Lake Orta. On arrivals, rose petals had been scattered from the front door through to our bedroom and Tina maintained that beautiful romantic gesture all the time we were there. We had the Junior Suite which is the entire top floor of their private home and it is spotlessly clean throughout. The bedroom is spacious with doors onto a large terrace which is nicely furnished with patio table & chairs and sun loungers for relaxing. The second bedroom, which used for storing our luggage, is also a decent size with fitted cupboards and wardrobes. There are coffee and tea making facilities and also a small fridge for cool drinks or snacks which was quite useful to have. Tina gave us plates and cutlery so we could have a light meal evening if we didn't feel like driving to a restaurant (Conad supermarket is 10 min drive away). We hired a car from the airport as public transport is restricted. Without a car it would be difficult to get around & some of the hills are steep. There is an Osteria within 5 min walking distance (good food) and also a great pizzeria (Vecchio Forno in Pettenasco) which you can walk to (30 mins). A great cheese & cold meat shop (Cusio Formaggeria) is 10min drive in Pettenasco. There is also a small private waterside bay/beach about 500m away (with parking) where you can swim in the clear waters of the lake. A lovely continental breakfast served every morning in the garden had a good selection of cold meat, cheese, cakes, bread rolls, yoghurt, cereal, good quality jams and honey. Our hosts invited us to spend as much time in their garden as we wanted.

“Enjoyed the nice view from the terrace”

Great view of the lake and mountains from the large terrace which is equipped with chairs and table and lounge chairs. Junior Suite is more a small appartement - it has one large bedroom, a smaller room with a fridge and a bathroom. The private beach which is approx. 10 minutes by car from the house is a nice add-on on hot days to refresh in the lake. Overall, the location is great as it is easy to get to San Giulio and also Lago Maggiore. Very nice hosts which provide you with infos and reservations if needed. 2 restaurants within walking distance. Lactose-free breakfast was possible and much appreciated just as the fresh blueberries from the garden!
