We stayed with Mariagrazia in September 2012. She was a perfect hostess, and Villa Pinin is a wonderful B&B. Very convenient to Orta, and in a beautiful location. Orta is a fascinating and historic town. Don't bother with Como. Spend at least 3 days, as we found 2 days too short and left for the rest of our trip reluctantly.... More

Beautful room, great breakfast and location. You won't believe the view from the terrace, absolutely magical. Marigrazia was so gracious, picked up us at the train station and arranged a ride for us when we left. The swimming on the the little beach was unforgettable. Loved every minute and can't wait to return!

great location, great view from the fantastic room. breakfast is good, the host realy makes you feel at home! grazie mile for the great romantic weekend!

Villa Pinin was a great find. Mariagrazia was so lovely and her house in a beautiful spot. We had the Blue Room which had a beautiful view, and was very prettily furnished. We were made to feel totally at home and very relaxed. There is a small beach a few secods walk away where you can swim, and then a... More

We stayed in the largest of the rooms which has a private bathroom. The room was really nice and had a shared balcony. The room could have benefited from a fan as the heat was intense and the mosquitos took advantage of any open window. The breakfast was great every moning and the hostess Mariagrazia was very helpful and friendly.... More

She speaks some English, and we only speak a bit of Italian, but we were able to communicate adequately during our stay. The modern villa is in an excellent location. The... More

Unlike some previous reviews, we did not find this B & B equal to a 4 or 4 1/2 star caliber. The owner was very nice, however, the furnishings were very dated, albeit clean. We stayed in the "green room" which had a small (shared) balcony. What would have made it better was to have a small bar fridge, a... More

I agree with the previous reviews- quiet, great lake view and kind hostess. We stayed in the Green room with two windows. The room was nicer than the photos on their website. We were there in mid October and the weather was starting to change but it was sunny during the day. Easy walk to town. Mariagrazia is a wonderful... More

Mariagrazia, the hostess is almost as wonderful as this place. Continental breakfast on the patio overlooking the lake after a swim, read until one, another swim. Nap until three... Read, eat at one of the great restaurants in Orta, swim...why leave? Only drawback: loud plumbing. Stay here if only for a night. Tz P.s try and get the Yellow or... More
