Fantastic family week (August 2016)!
The website description is accurate and the other reviews are helpful. We are a family of 4 and stayed for a week, although 2 weeks would have been great. Stefano is a very welcoming host - he showed us around, took us for a trip in his speedboat and checked we were OK. The canoes are great, we borrowed the bikes to cycle to Pella for supper (good pizzeria and delicious ice-cream). We canoed to Isola San Giulio and Orta and did loads of walking (up in the hills and round the lake). We swam every day (including to the island). The lake is wonderful - ridiculously warm and fantastically clean. Because the apartment is so close to the lake, in the mornings and evenings you usually have the beach and jetty to yourself. There are a few ferries each day from Lagna, or you can walk to San Filiberto to get a ferry. The garden is huge and a 2 minute walk from the apartment down a pretty lane. Our apartment had a table in the courtyard which we used for most meals. The nearby villages are really pretty. It's a place where you can either be very sporty all week, or choose to do very little in a stunning environment!
