La Darbia

Lake Orta is something of a hidden gem within the Italian lake district; less touristy than the northern lakes, it offers beautiful natural landscapes neighboured by a sleepy medieval town. There is lots on offer for active holidaymakers, with excellent hiking routes in the area, and there are a number of beautiful historical buildings for culture lovers. La Darbia offers guests stylish, self-contained apartments on a pretty hill with spectacular views over the lake. Spread across a former historical site, the apartments are bright and contemporary; all offer a fully-equipped kitchen, separate bedroom and some living space, as well as either a garden or terrace. All the outside space offers lake views. Breakfast is delivered daily in a handy breakfast basket, along with any additional shopping you wish to order. If you tire of self-catering, try the delightful hotel restaurant, serving fresh, seasonal dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Children love the hotel's two outdoor playgrounds and the pool. With stylish, comfortable accommodation in a beautiful natural setting, this hotel makes a great getaway for families and couples.
