“Stunning location and great service, very tranquil location with great restaurants very close”

Breakfast is great although the long menu that you have to fill out is a little confusing and meant that we over-ordered

“We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Everything about Villa Antica Colonia was simply”

We’ve just returned from a fabulous trip to Villa Antica Colonia on Lake Orta, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The villa itself is stunning — beautifully maintained, full of character, and set in the most breathtaking spot overlooking the lake. A huge thank you to Monica, who was absolutely amazing and so helpful throughout our stay. She made everything completely stress-free, from our arrival to our departure.

“Amazing experience. I felt like I was in paradise”

It’s paradise! The views, the staff and the owner/manager’s hospitality. The rooms are also impeccably clean.

“Gorgeous apartment in perfect location”

Beautiful apartment in the most magical location with private garden overlooking lake. The accommodation is stylish, comfortable and spotless. Kitchen equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a copious and delicious breakfast delivered every morning with organic products Monica is a charming, responsive and attentive host and was very helpful making restaurant reservations for us, also arrival instructions were very easy to follow. We had no difficulty in parking in private car park very close to property Would not hesitate to return to this very special place

Monica was an extremely accommodating and professional host, helping us book restaurants and transport while on site. We had a fantastic view of the lake from our room, and access to a wide range of facilities. The property is huge and while we noticed other guests around there, there was a great deal of privacy and quiet. Great breakfast! A perfect stop for some rest on our tour of Piemonte - we would definitely stay again!

“My wife and I spent an amazing 3 days at Antica Colonia. We shall definitely return.”

This is a small boutique hotel (only 7 apartments). There is a spa, sauna, pool, jacuzzi and lounge / bar area all with magnificent views over Lake d'Orta. There is no restaurant in the hotel but there is a wide choice of hot and cold dishes available for breakfast in your room - and some excellent restaurants in the village and local town (Pettenasco) - just a 5 minute drive away. The staff are very friendly and they go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

“Fantastic Experience, highly recommended.”

Everything about this property was A+++. Exceptional views, room and property. Out host, Monica,was fantastic, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we required and was very helpful providing concierge services. Jacuzzi and pool areas are excellent with outstanding scenic views of the lake and surrounds. Great selection of food and drink for breakfast, delivered to your room right on requested time.

“Fantastic!”

We stayed in the penthouse suite and the views were spectacular! Monica was a great hostess and helped in everyway possible...from places to see, restaurants, the spa. I would highly recommend the Villa Antica, you will not be disappointed! A definite 10! We will be back!

“Great long weekend in a great location with lovely host and personal”

The location, the appartment, the breakfast and the massages, all was above expectations. We were welcomed by Monica, who was always avaiable during our stay. Helped by good weather we enjoyed the terrace and seating arrangements. The proposed restaurant was indeed easily reachable and very nice as well. All and all a super experience!

“Beautiful views in a lovely little village”

Beautiful location and Monica is an amazing host nothing was too much trouble

The room was lovely and spacious. The breakfast a 10. The view special.

The location and the views are amazing. It was perfect to have breakfast in your own villa. Monica is so helpful in booking dinner reservations and taxis. This property is superb.

“Relaxing stay with beautiful views of Lake Orta.”

We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Antica Colonia. Monica made our stay perfect from the moment we arrived. Every morning we received a hot cappuccino, warm croissants and local goods delivered to our door. Monica booked us dinner at a local restaurant within walking distance on our first night. The villas are beautifully clean and have a stunning view of the lake. We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay.

“Colonia Antica is beautiful - stunning accommodation in an idyllic setting overlooking Lake Orta”

Breakfast was absolutely superb - a choice of fresh local delicacies - chosen by us from an extensive menu and delivered to the door of our appartment each morning Our hostess Monica who greeted us on arrival, was delightful and worked so hard to make everything perfect for us - for example, making bookings at local restaurants with transport for us.

“Beautiful views in a lovely little village”

Beautiful location and Monica is an amazing host nothing was too much trouble

“Most spectacular view on Lake Orta and Isola de San Giulio.”

Terraces and balconies attached to each apartment. Location. Owner‘s kindness and passion. Breakfast basket at room/terrace. Service.

“Relax in peace and quiet”

Combine a 5*****hotel style service with the passion of a family run business, in a picturesque setting, and you get an idea how great this place is. Lovingly restored villa, combines modern amenities with the charming atmosphere of old times. Also every excursion, reservation, activity you are interested in is conveniently organised by the owners, including pick up from the Villa or delivery to the Villa. Beauticians and massage therapists come to the Villa when booked. Ebikes are delivered to the villa when ordered. Great place to go hiking or to explore small Italian villages (including shopping tours!). The larger Metropolitan areas are just an hour drive away. Lago d'Orta is less touristy than the other lakes and that makes it perfect for experiencing true Italian lifestyle. We will be back!

“Our stay was wonderful, the host Monica went out of her way to make our stay special.”

Beautiful views, wonderful apartments full of character, everything you need for a romantic stay.

“Absolutely excellent!!!”

Immaculate property, excellent service - the views from the terrace are unreal, the kindness of Monica is above and beyond. We had such a great time relaxing here - the property is better than the photos, such an extremely special part of the world. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

“Dream stay”

We loved the exclusivity of the place, not many rooms, quiet environment, amazing amenities. Everything was very clean and taken care of. The pool, garden and views are just breathtaking. We stayed in casa Monica, perfect size place with a balcony where we enjoyed our meals and aperitivos and again, the view. We had a folder with recommendations of things to do, etc. We rented half a day of a boat to explore Lake Orta, highly recommended, we were picked up and left in our accommodation. Surroundings are good, a great small restaurant nearby and also a supermarket downtown. Breakfast was incredible, so many things to choose from and great quality of ingredients. Last but not at all least, Monica was very accommodating and on top of anything we needed. Dream stay to definitely be repeated.
