Family getaway

We had a great time at Hotel La Bussola! It was a perfect space for a relaxing holiday, close to the towns many restaurants and swimming locations. Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. They went out of their way to help, even with a language barrier. Our room was clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of the lake and Isola San Giulio. We had lots of space for our family of three and the general area had something to offer for all of us. We swam in the lake and hotel pool, went wine tasting and enjoyed lots of lovely food!

We selected this hotel from the about 5-7 choices in Orta San Giulio due to proximity to the center of the town, free parking, and nice location with view. We did not regret it and would go there again. Staff is friendly and helpful and fluent in English. We enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace and made all the beautiful hikes on the peninsula without ever using the car.
