A view of the island on Lago Orta Italy from Orta San Giulio
A place came out from fairytales. 
Alpe Larecchio is a beautiful grassy valley surrounded by larch trees, crossed by a winding river full of fish and dominated north by Corno Bianco (3320m slm).

Lakeside garden was very restful and the swimming pool was clean and quiet. Very helpful and friendly staff who made us feel at home. The hotel's jetty for the boat services on the lake was very convenient.

Beautiful location! Clean room. Great breakfast. Dinner was also good. Negative: fridge in room didn’t work which spoiled some food. Could use some decor upgrades.
