A spacious comfortable house in a charming village

We very much enjoyed our stay. We organised this very last minute and Illaria was swift in replying and very helpful indeed throughout our stay. The house is very comfortable and spacious. The village is sweet and the starting point for lovely walks. We ate in good restaurants nearby Orta which is beautiful. Even though we came late October early November the kids even jumped for a chilly dip in the pool. I would recommend a stay here

Very spacious house with all equipment required for a relaxing family holiday. We particularly appreciated the comfortable beds, modern air conditioning, availability of plenty of towels and fantastic view on Lake Orta from the terrace. While the pool is rather small, it is very clean using salt water and very enjoyable as a flexible alternative to swimming in the lake. Ilaria as our host was very friendly and supportive. Communication with her was very fast, flexible and clear.

Lovely house in beautiful location

Really enjoyed our holiday by Lake Orta. The house is really spacious with everything we needed. Ilaria is lovely, she met us when we arrived and showed us around and explained how everything worked. Really liked the pool too. The house is in a little hamlet with a small shop and restaurant, and about ten minutes drive to Orta San Giulio, which is beautiful, and about five minutes drive to the nearest beach with cafe, kayaks, etc. You could walk but it is very hilly. Would definitely recommend this property and location.

Well-equipped house in a quiet location

Well-equipped house on a quiet location. The house is spacious and has all the comfort you need, kitchen is well equiped, enough outdoor gear to enjoy the pool. Only downside is that all bathrooms are rather small and the bathroom on the ground floor has a very outdated shower (in a bath tub) .The other two bathrooms have a new shower installed which are perfectly ok. No air conditioning, but fans are available in the bedrooms. The agency is very helpfull in case of any issue and gives usefull tips on restaurants and trips in the area.

Excellent séjour, villa spacieuse, bien équipée avec vue exceptionnelle

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est conforme aux photos et à la description. Les pièces sont très spacieuses, disposent de rangements et ont toutes une belle vue sur le lac. La cuisine est bien équipée, le second frigo est appréciable. Le jardin est très agréable, avec, lui aussi une belle vue et la piscine, bien que petite nous a permis de bien nous rafraichir. La communication avec Ilaria est très facile. Elle est très sympathique, soucieuse de notre bien être sans nous déranger. Je recommande vivement cette location. Attention toutefois, pour mériter le calme et la vue il faudra un peu manoeuvrer...

Viel Platz, toller Ausblick und alles was man braucht

Wir (4 Erwachsene + 3 Kinder) hatten eine tolle Zeit Ende Mai in La Rustica! Alles nötige war vorhanden, Lebensmittel gab es im kleinen regionalen Laden, der in 3 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen war oder in den Supermärkten in den nächstgrößeren Städten per Auto. Der Pool war bereits vorbereitet und sauber und es wurden viele Handtücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Geschichten mit den Mosquitos abends stimmen 😉 Es wird aber einiges dagegen angeboten (Kerze, Stecker,…) und mit zusätzlichem Mückenspray konnten wir es abends draußen auch aushalten. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder, vielen Dank für alles!

Familienurlaub am Ortasee

Bei schönem Wetter mit hauptsächlichem Aufenthalt im Freien sehr schön. Die Küchenausstattung gut! Es gab ausreichend Toilettenpapier und auch Waschmittel für die Waschmaschine. 2 Kühlschränke sehr gut. Braucht man echt bei 11Personen! Der Pool für die Kids genial nicht für Langstreckenschwimmer 😉. Die können sich im super klaren Ortasee tummeln.

Ruhige Lage mit schöner Aussicht auf den Lago D'Orta

Das Haus: Alles sehr sauber, praktisch eingerichtet (u.a. zwei Kühlschränke). Schneller Internetzugang mit WLAN, gut ausgestattete Küche. Das Grundstück: Komplett eingezäunt, so dass unser Hund freien Auslauf hatte. Schöne Aussicht auf den See. Viele Sitzgelegenheiten. Ausreichend Liegen. Schöner Salzwasser-Pool. Die Lage: Das Haus liegt weit oberhalb des Lago D‘Orta. Mit dem Auto erreicht man in max. 15 Minuten Orta San Guilo sowie verschiedene Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Essen gehen: Hostaria dei Santi Numi, Ameno (Via L.A. Cotta) und die kleine Osteria in Vacciago (Via Adolfo Pestalozza). Einkaufen: La Bottega di Edoardo Tondina, Via Menni 1, Vacciago und für den Großeinkauf der COOP, Borgomanero Unbedingt ansehen: Die Altstadt von Orta San Guilo und einen Ausflug zum Mottarone mit einem herrlichen Blick auf den Lago Maggiore und den Lago D’Orta. Coole Sommer-Bobbahn. Betreuung vor Ort: Ein sehr herzlicher Empfang und eine gute Einweisung. Vielen Dank an Ilaria, die sehr gut deutsch spricht! Auf jeden Fall ist das La Rustica sehr zu empfehlen.

Traumblick auf den Ortasee

Ein Traumhaus mit grossen privaten Grundstück, Pool und Blick auf den Ortasee. Meine Familie und ich hatten ein paar schöne Tage in Vacciago. Der Check In und Check Out verlief klasse. Die Betreuung vor Ort war spitze. Alles war sehr sauber, super Betten, schneller Internetzugang, TV mit italenischen TV Programmen und ein neuer Grill den wir beim nächsten Besuch ausprobieren. In der Nachbarschaft ist auch ein kleiner Laden den man super zu Fuß erreichen kann, Man beokmmt frisches Brot, Käse und alles mögliche. Es führt auch ein zweite Strasse zum Haus die etwas breiter ist aber noch nicht bei Google Maps zu finden ist.

Nice house

Nice house, good beds, three large tables / places for eating, fantastisc view, electric gate, extentensive kitchen, plenty of information about area, handyman fixes all minor problems quickly. Some points of attention : No AC in the rooms, so the bedrooms can get very warm in the summer, One of the two showers is in a bathtub, be careful. The garden is smaller than in the pictures. The driveway containes holes. One of us fell through the plastic chairs. The plastic chairs are weak. Tip for hostess: give new guests a nice reception with e.g. bottle wine / olive oil, Paint the back of the house, because it is nicer than looking at grey concrete

Super Haus, tolle Aussicht!

Wir (eine Gruppe von Freunden) waren begeistert von dem Haus. Es ist alles sauber und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Die Zimmeraufteilung mit Zweier-Zimmern war perfekt für uns. Die Lage ist toll, man sieht über den Ortasee und ist auch zu Fuss knnerhalb von 20-30 Minuten in Orta San Guilio. Das Beste für uns war der Tennisplatz, den wir eifrig benutzt haben. Wir wurden sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit empfangen.Würde das Haus jederzeit wieder empfehlen.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

Wir (zwei befreundete Familien mit jeweils zwei Kindern im Alter von 8-9 Jahren) hatten uns kurzfristig entschlossen, das Osterwochenende in Italien zu verbringen. Die Aufteilung des Hauses ist für zwei Familien ideal, da jede Familie ihre eigene Etage mit zwei Schlafzimmern und (sehr kleinem) Bad hat. Außerdem hat jedes Zimmer Zugang zum Balkon, von dem man einen grandiosen Blick auf den Ortasee hat (und auf den Tennisplatz, den wir viel genutzt haben). Das Haus selbst liegt in einem kleinen, typisch italienischen Bergdorf und oberhalb des Ortes Orta San Giulio (ca. 5-7 Minuten mit dem Auto). Auch zum Wandern ein idealer Ausgangspunkt. Es hat uns insgesamt sehr gut gefallen, zumal die Vermieterin Ilaria sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit ist. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist einfach, aber dafür war alles absolut sauber. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
