March 2010. We're putting small George Foreman grills in all the apartments in Villa Gelsomina. Apartments A and C have grills already, Apartment B will have a 'Grill & Melt' from Easter 2010, and D and E will have grills from the end of July 2010. These two-sided electric grills provide a fast, convenient and fat-free way of cooking meat and fish, and can of course be used for cooking just about anything else.

February 2010. We enhanced the availability pages to show partial availability to the day, with a simple (?!) scheme based on days of the week, so for example m.f means booked from Monday to Friday. If you have any comments on how well you think this works OK, please feed back to William. We've also changed some of the thumbnails on the overview pages.

February 2010. We refreshed the pages on local places of interest and day trips with new pictures, and added more pictures of Pella and Omegna. And we've created separate news pages by year, as the single page had got rather long. We have also added a new row in the Overview tables suggesting whether it is recommended to have a car.

January 2010. We've added some javascript so you can play the pictures in the gallery as a slideshow, and we've added some pictures at Christmas at Orta San Giulio to the winter gallery, and we've added a page on Omegna. We've also increased the use of styles, making links appear more consistently underlined in green, but only when you hover over them.

January 2010. For all those clients returning to Villa Gelsomina and wanting some different walks, we've put together a set of 5 additional walks, so there are now 10 in total tailored for Villa Gelsomina.
