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.

Fantastic family run hotel with free parking/wifi and excellent breakfast on their terrace. Our room had a balcony with a spectacular view of Isola San Giulio. This hotel is an easy and pleasant walk into the centro of Orta San Guilio (it is NOT remote).

My husband and I came early for a Walking Adventures trip and they were very accommodating. We did not have to switch rooms after our personally paid one night. They are within walking distance to town and have a pool. The view is wonderful! Beautiful area. Lots of hiking opportunities right at your doorstep.

Anna and her family were very gracious hosts. We had a great time even though the temperature in town ranged from 90 to 100 and the bugs in the air were terrible due to the heat. We had air conditioning in our room which was perfect.

Loved our stay in this hotel, the staff were lovely and very helpful. We found the shower very small which was fine for us but if we were larger it would be a problem. Loved the balcony to sit and have a relaxing afternoon in the sunshine. The hotel was in a perfect location to see the sights of the area which were beautiful. Sacro Monte Di Orta, the wood with 20 chapels was very interesting to visit. The ferries to other villages was very affordable and a pleasant experience.

It was early in the season and the weather was bad, but the Hotel Bussola was open and welcoming. The included breakfast was great and even included custom egg orders. Since the restaurant was not open for other meals, I cannot comment on those. The outdoor pool and deck area was also not open, but looked impressive and probably hopping during the season. Orta San Guilio was a pleasant surprise as a destination and there is a lot to see in the area.

This hotel is situated on the fringe of the old town, set on the hill above and to the right of the town. It is easy to drive to without going through the town. There is plenty of outdoor parking. The hotel has a lift, servicing the three floors. Although lake view rooms are more expensive, it is worth it if you are only there for a short visit. The walk down to the town is not long at all, but it is steep, either via steps or Street, and is not very easy for people with mobility problems. The hotel has a good restaurant very good for dinner or breakfast, and comes with great views of the lake. The only small negative issue experienced was that the wi-fi connection requires repeated login after inactivity on a connected device.

This was our sixth stay at the Bussola as Orta is somewhere we visit regularly. For the first time in a few visits we ate here too. We had forgotten how good the food is and having dinner and on the terrace overlooking the lake is the perfect location to enjoy it. The menu was different on each of the two nights with enough choice for most people. The only minor criticism from last time, paying for WiFi, has now been resolved and it’s free like most hotels. It’s only a matter of time until our seventh stay.

The room itself was nice and the location is OK if you don't have heavy backpacks or luggage on you because its up a very large hill. I did unfortunately have a couple issues- I needed to call and ask for clean bed sheets, the AC was broken during my stay and it was Hot (the kind maintenance lady got me a fan though), and the pool was closed! On May 19th! I'm from Canada- if the water isn't frozen, we swim in it. So all of the reasons I chose this hotel had fallen through so it was disappointing overall. Because the AC was broken I had to sleep with the window open (it was hot) and had the worst allergies I've ever had that night and the next morning so I didn't sleep well. The guy did give me a slight discount on my room though because quite a few things were wrong during my stay.

La Bussola is family-run hotel in a prime position, within easy (downhill all the way!) walking distance of the centre of Orta San Guilia. We stayed in a standard room on the first floor (No. 118) which was pleasantly furnished and had everything that we needed. We were also pleased to find that it had french doors leading on to a private terrace from which we could see the lake and look over the gardens. A table, chairs and sun umbrella were provided for our use, which I thought was a nice touch. Breakfast is done as a buffet, and consists of fresh rolls,breads, croissants, meats, cheeses, fruits, yoghurts, boiled eggs etc and everything is fresh and well presented. Eating such a breakfast out on the terrace, looking over the lake and the Island of San Guilia would set anybody up for the day ahead. The owners are very friendly and helpful and obviously take great pride in their hotel and I would be pleased to recommend it to anyone.
