Beaucoup de chance grâce à une météo estivale et à une villa de charme. Excellent accueil belles prestations correspondant à nos besoins. Nous étions 3 couples , la grandeur et les commodités de la location nous ont permis de passer un très bon séjour.
Merci à Augusta pour son accueil et son écoute à nos demandes particulières!
Le lieu est magnifique avec vue sur le lac d’Orta! Notre groupe dont certains membres participaient au marathon du lac majeur a été ravi de profiter de ce lieu!
Vieille maison de caractère dans une très belle propriété. Vue sur le lac. Augusta est très arrangeante sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ.
Très bien à 9 pour un séjour de 2 ou 3 nuits. Mais, attention si vous souhaitez rester plus longtemps. En effet, l’annonce est trompeuse. Il y est indiqué 5 chambres puis on en décrit 6. Alors qu’en fait il n’y a réellement que 2 chambres fermées. Les autres pièces n’ont pas de porte et sont en enfilade. Pas d’intimité et si vous voulez aller aux toilettes, il faut traverser les pièces où dorment vos amis. S’il fait beau, grande table dehors.
Par ailleurs, il n’est pas possible de manger à 9 personnes à l’intérieur.

Grazie Jean-luc,
Mi spiace non vi siate accorti che il tavolo del soggiorno è allungabile.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in den angenehm kühlen Räumen diese historischen Hauses sehr genossen. Die groszügige Unterkunft war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Die zwei Küchen waren für uns Selbsversorger sehr praktisch.
Het huis was middeleeuws, wat het karakteristiek maakt. Het ligt op een heuvel, lopen naar een strandje is een half uur de heuvel af (en dus weer de heuvel op bij de terugweg). De auto kun je voor het huis kwijt, maar de weg is erg nauw.
Het uitzicht is schitterend over het meer.
Communicatie met de eigenaar voor het verblijf was snel en goed.
This was one of the most beautiful houses we ever stayed in for a holiday. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The only "issue" was the WiFi which was not very reliable - personally I don't care that much because everything else made more that up for that.
Tolles Domizil mit netten Vermietern oberhalb vom Orta-See - ideal für einen super Urlaub
Die letzten Meter der Anfahrt gehen laut GoogleMaps über einen schmalen Weg (die geteerte Alternative kennt das Programm nicht), danach beginnt der Urlaub dann richtig.
Nach einem herzlichen Empfang durch die Vermieter war der Gang durch das mittelalterliche Gebäude eine positive Überraschung: Grosse Zimmer, jede Menge Platz, ein Balkongang im ersten Geschoss zum Relaxen und Sonnen.
Sehr positiv fanden wir, dass Bettwäsche und Handtücher gestellt wurden.
Vom Garten hat man einen wunderbaren Blick über den Orta-See und die Berge dahinter.
Neben dem Whirlpool auf der Terrasse erfreute sich auch der Grill vor dem Haus großer Beliebtheit. Ein besonderes Highlight für Kinder und Eltern war der gemeinsame Blick in die Sterne durch das Teleskop vom Vermieter.
Das Strandbad in Gozzano ist in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreicht.
Für bis 8 Personen ganz prima geeignet, bei mehr Personen könnte zumindest das gleichzeitige gemeinsame Essen im Haus eng werden.
Im Sommer sollte wegen der See-Nähe ausreichend Insektenschutz eingepackt werden.
Insgesamt eine ganz tolle Unterkunft und der sehr empfehlenswerte Ausgangspunkt für einen schönen Urlaub am Orta-See und am nahegelegenen Lago Maggiore zum Wandern, Radfahren, Baden, Erholen, Geniessen...

Magnifique un petit coin de paradis
Magnifique séjour
Lieu enchanteur.
La maison est splendide, de même pour le jardin et la vue.
Le seul défaut est qu'il n'y a l'aménagement adéquate pour manger à 9 ou 12 autour d'une même table.

Semaine d exception
Nous avons passé à Ameno un joli moment dans la propriété d Augusta.
La maison est spacieuse et confortable même si la pièce pour manger est assez petite. La location est situee dans la cour intérieure de la propriété mais le jardin est accessible à tout moment et la vue est exceptionnelle sur le lac et le mont rose.
Le lac d orta est magnifique et la baignade au top !
Merci à Augusta pour son accueil et arrivederci !
