“Perfect Pettenasco!”
Perfect location, building and rooms were immaculate - presented to the highest level. Breakfast was fantastic and with generous serving size. The hosts were warm and friendly, but very discreet - how they managed to keep the accommodation so clean and perfectly presented without being seen was magic! Location was ideal to tour Orta and its surroundings, but also was great as a base to explore Maggiore and beyond. An exceptional stay, spoilt only by the week of continuous rain! So we will have to return in the ☀️

“Beautiful spacious apartment with lovely views.”
Beautiful apartment overlooking the Lake. Spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Lovely swimming pool. Really peaceful. However you need a car as it is not in town.

“Perfect place to relax and enjoy the view.”
Host were very friendly and satisfied our request for late check-in. Spacious and spotlessly clean room & bathroom. Nice private sitting area outside, perfect for enjoying the peaceful view and breakfast. Pool area very well kept. Breakfast was served on a little table just for us. Very good overall - coffee, juice, cereal, yoghurt, bread roll & croissant (large) - more than enough. Several good eating places in Pettenasco and nearby Orta San Giulio. Best to book in advance. The quiet and tranquillity of the place was exactly what we were after.

“Will definitely be back”
The property is fantastic. Stayed in the upstairs accommodation - bedroom lounge, bathroom and a balcony with a million dollar view. Breakfast was delivered, not buffet but was plenty of very good food. Host provided fresh croissants, meat and cheeses every morning. We loved this place and the area was the best we visited.

“Perfect 👌”
The owners were very welcoming and came to meet us at the train station to give us a lift, which was very kind. Views to the lake were fab, room was spacious and very clean and well appointed. Breakfast was served on the private terrace area and was lovely too with fresh meat/cheese, rolls and pastries served. I would return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Calathea
