Nuova Locanda Posta is a family-run inn located in Quarna Sotto, a small village in Piedmont just a few kilometres from Lake Orta, with free parking and free WiFi throughout the property.
The six room types, all with a private bathroom equipped with a shower and toiletries, differ in size and view: some overlook the surrounding mountains, others the village, and several feature a private balcony where guests can enjoy the mountain air. Rooms on the upper floors are reachable by lift, a useful detail for those travelling with heavy luggage or with reduced mobility.
Breakfast, served every morning, offers a buffet with continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The on-site restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes, with menus available on request for specific dietary needs. Guests can also make use of the terrace, go on bike excursions and take walks in the woods surrounding Quarna Sotto.
The quiet, green setting is particularly appreciated by couples looking for a relaxing stay away from the tourist traffic of the more famous lakes, while still remaining within easy reach of Omegna and Lake Orta.
Nuova Locanda Posta offers six room types, nearly all variations of the Double Room with Balcony, designed for those seeking a simple, well-kept stay in the heart of Piedmont. Every room has a private bathroom with shower, toiletries and a desk, while the units with a balcony offer views of the surrounding mountains or the village of Quarna Sotto.
Room sizes range from 15 to 28 square metres: the largest Double Room with Balcony reaches 28 sqm and also features a small sofa, while the more compact Double/Twin Room is designed for those looking for the essentials. Rooms on the upper floors are served by a lift, convenient for those travelling with heavy suitcases. All accommodations are non-smoking and come with bed linen and towels provided by the property.
The largest among the rooms with balcony, with 28 sqm available, it also offers a small sofa in addition to the wardrobe, a detail that sets it apart from the other units in the same category. The private balcony overlooks the village of Quarna Sotto, while the private bathroom is equipped with a shower. The room accommodates a maximum of two people.
Compared to the largest room, this 25 sqm unit is the only one to offer a double view from the balcony, over both the mountains and the village at the same time. Parquet flooring and a wardrobe complete the furnishings, while the private bathroom has a shower. Ideal for those seeking wider views than the other rooms of the same type.
A 25 sqm room with parquet flooring, a wardrobe and a private balcony overlooking the village of Quarna Sotto. The private bathroom is equipped with a shower. Unlike the version with a double view, here the view faces exclusively towards the village centre.
The last of the rooms with balcony of the same size, 25 sqm, with parquet flooring, a wardrobe and a view of the village of Quarna Sotto from the private balcony. The private bathroom includes a shower. A good alternative for group bookings, given the almost identical features to the other units with a balcony.
The most compact in the property, with just 15 sqm, without a balcony but with a private bathroom featuring a shower and complimentary toiletries. It is located on the upper floors, reachable by lift, and is designed for those seeking essential accommodation without giving up comfort.
A 20 sqm room without a balcony, with a private bathroom equipped with a shower and toiletries. It sits midway between the compactness of the 15 sqm unit and the panoramic rooms with balcony, and is reachable by lift from the upper floors.

Quarna Sotto is a small village in Piedmont overlooking the hills that divide Lake Orta from Lake Maggiore, famous for the traditional craftsmanship of wind instruments that still characterises the village today. The inn is located in Piazza IV Novembre, at the heart of the village, surrounded by stone houses and chestnut woods that give it a distinctly mountain atmosphere despite being just a few kilometres from the lake waters.
Lake Orta is practically within reach of the property, a natural reference point for exploring the surrounding area. Omegna railway station, with connections to Novara and Milan, is about 3.9 km away, while Ristorante Ponte Bria, an excellent choice for a casual dinner, is just 1.1 km from the inn. Milan Malpensa Airport, the main airport in the area, is about 36 km away.
In summer, the surroundings of Quarna Sotto are ideal for bike excursions and trekking along the trails connecting the village to the Sacro Monte di Orta, a protected historic site about 8 km away, with its frescoed chapels set in the woods. Not far away, the Lido Beach Club in Baveno, about 12 km away, offers an equipped beach on Lake Maggiore, ideal for a day by the water. In winter, the area instead lends itself to quieter walks through the woods and visits to nearby villages, thanks to the lower tourist traffic compared to the better-known lake shores.
Guests especially praise the staff, rated almost at the maximum, and the cleanliness of the rooms, both above 9.7. The value for money is also highly appreciated. The location, while not right in the centre, still earns a solid 8.7, while free WiFi receives more modest ratings compared to other aspects of the stay.
