La Darbia

This is an exceptionally special hotel. We visited for part of our honeymoon (July) and it was truly breathtaking. The design puts nature at the heart of the place, with vines around the property, herbs and kitchen gardens at the centre of the vibe. The views were spectacular. The food and wine were AMAZING. We particularly recommend the 'bistrot' in the kitchen garden. Not to mention the 'Cantina' on a Wednesday which is NOT TO BE MISSED. The staff and owners were friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to see what their Tuscany property will be like.

La Darbia at Lake Orta is an absolute dream! The location is stunning, nestled in gentle hills with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The property itself is beautifully designed and meticulously maintained. The apartments are modern, stylish, and incredibly cosy, making you feel right at home. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the well-kept gardens to the thoughtful touches in the rooms. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. A particular highlight was the on-site restaurant helmed by Matteo. The food was simply outstanding, featuring fresh, local ingredients and a delightful menu that catered to all tastes. Travelling with three children can sometimes be challenging, but La Darbia made it effortless. The place is exceptionally family-friendly, with plenty of space for the kids to play and explore. The pool area was a favourite, offering a perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning scenery.

Had a wonderful experience in this beautiful location! loved it, even tho it was a bit expensive 😅 The breakfast arrangements were a bit messy in real life but didn't ruin our stay at all. Honorable mention to Francesca, Beatrice, Janet and the manager for taking such good care of us!
