Italian Lake Holidays

Of all the lakes, Lake Orta and Maggiore are the best. Visit and I'm sure you'll agree.

And for romance Lake Orta is number one!

I love the other lakes too and if you are travelling with children Lake Garda is best because... well for many reasons really. My wife Maria's site explains it better.

I have handpicked a selection of lovingly restored villas, and pretty lakeside apartments on the shores of these lakes. They'll ensure that your time here is absolutely perfect.

Lake Orta

Crabbia is a small mountain village,centrally situated on the east bank of perhaps the loveliest of Italian lakes - Lake Orta. The breathtaking scenery that is the essence of Lake Orta surrounds this holiday home. Restored to a very high standard this home can accommodate up to six people.




Lake Maggiore

My favourite!! Only 30 feet from the waters edge on the Fisherman's Island. The island is home to a really delightful 700 year old village. The restaurants are fabulous and there are small beach areas on both sides of the island.The perfect choice for a relaxing, action-packed or culture-orientated holiday.




Lake Maggiore

A spacious and comfortable apartment in a big villa, set close to the town of Lesa on the shore of Lake Maggiore. Excellent value and perfect winter or summer. The train station is very near making it easy to explore if you don't have a car.




Lake Maggiore

Newly built, attractive residential complex. Fully equipped and marvellous views - in particular from the swimming pool with its lakeside panorama. A mere 400 metres from the lake (as the crow flies) and a short distance from the town centre.

Our Piedmont Lake Hotel Picks

A lovely hotel. The views are picture postcard perfect and the staff are ever so friendly. Cannobio itself is a characteristic little village on the western shores of the lake near Switzerland.

The setting of the hotel is ideal being right on the lakes promenade. The hotel has parking available.


Hotel San Rocca (Orta San Giulio) .

Perfect for a romantic getaway (Maria and I have often escaped for a weekend here). This is a popular place for weddings too. Situated in a seventeenth century convent the hotel boasts breathtaking views across Lake Orta and they even have a private boat to take guests out to the the island of San Giulio.

The restaurant in the hotel serves excellent Italian and local cuisine.
