Relaxing stay in convenient location
Communication with the owner, Yvonne, was great. Before we left, she looked up the train from Florence and let us know that the train route would be under repair, so taking the train would be much more complicated and take much longer, Thus we rented a car. She told us they had free parking but it was small so we made sure to rent a car that fit. It was very hot, and I contacted Yvonne about another fan (no AC included) and the next morning she brought one over. The apartment was very clean, spacious and bright; we did not cook while we were there, but it was great to have a full size fridge and freezer and a microwave. I loved sitting on the front balcony to relax. Beds were comfortable. It was great to use the washing machine. Location was wonderful, grocery store literally across the road, gelateria and main square a few steps down. The lake is perhaps a 7 minute leisurely walk down the same street. Despite everything being so close, it was very quiet. We enjoyed having coffee and croissants at Jolly cafe just beyond the square and eggs and “English” breakfast at a place nearby on the lake. The restaurants in the square were all tasty, and a drink place on the same street was perfect for a cool drink. Walking along the lake in the evening was peaceful. We walked to lovely Park Pallvicino and drove to Orta San Giulio on Lake Orta. Taking the the boat to Isola diPescatori was worth it for lunch on the lake and shopping. A very relaxing stay! We hope to return. Thank you!
