The following feedback was received from previous occupants of the apartments. If you wish to take up any of the people below as references, contact details can be supplied.

Thank you, we have had a really enjoyable holiday at Lake Orta which we found beautifully unspoilt. Your apartment was very comfortable, very well equipped and ideally located to explore the surrounding areas.

Thanks, great hol. The fireflies were in the wood on the last night as we came home from Circolo. Was a delightful finishing touch. Weather went from 11 degrees to 34 in one week which was interesting. Accomodation was lovely and don't think your care and attention to detail goes unnoticed; it made the holiday.

We did have a wonderful stay at Paradiso. The weather held out for most of the time, and on the last morning we were able to see the Swiss Alps! Just magic. It’s a beautiful apartment and served us well.

Many thanks William for a fantastic stay on Lake Orta, the apartment was fantastic and we were overwhelmed by the view, it was amazing. We had planned on eating out a lot more than we did, but with a view so lovely and the weather better than forecast we ate on the terrace several nights.
We thought the apartment was fantastic – everything you could wish for and it was nice to have such a well equipped kitchen, and the English plug was great for the ipod!
The information pack was great to have for the walks and dinner recommendations - we had a lovely dinner at Olina in Orta and also the local restaurant down the road – very friendly and great food at both.
Once again, many thanks - we will definitely go back to Orta one day as there was so much to do and a week wasn’t long enough, and we will definitely stay at Villa Gelsomina again and recommend it to friends and family.

Last Wednesday we came home from Villa Gelsomina, app. Paradiso. We would let you know that we enjoyed a fantastic holiday at Lake Orta, we had a great time and had beautiful weather. We did a few of your recomended walks, we went to Macugnaca, Milano, Stresa and Mottarone. The appartment Paradiso is very nice and we enjoyed several dinners and breakfasts at the balcony with the excellent view at the Mont Rosa. We all want to thank you for everything, we will recommend Villa Gelsomina to our Dutch friends and maybe we once come back.

Thank you everyone at Gelsomina... we had a wonderful time! The villas are amazing, the views breathtaking, and the weather topped it all off! White water rafting at Valsesia was our favourite activity, but there's loads to do around Lago d'Orta too! The stay has been fab, with everything we needed provided for us! All of us are grateful!

The time at Lake Orta was very nice but too short. The apartment was very comfortably and everyone liked it. So, I think it was not the last time at Lake Orta. Thank you once more for the easy handling.
