Holiday Homes at Lake Orta | beautiful holiday homes at the most inviting of the Italian Lakes
Description
Holiday Homes at Lake Orta is run by William Schwitzer, with help from his wife Pardis, and their two school-age children.
William's *other* job is freelance Business Analyst in Financial Services, and William has wide experience of banks and insurance companies in the U.K. and Italy. William has a slightly cynical view of today's corporate culture, but is fascinated by the way business - and society as a whole - has developed in the last two decades, and in some ways feels that his involvement in technology-driven change has been at the heart of some of these developments.
From where the love of Italy? William's father says that he was enamoured on a 1978 driving tour to San Remo, Pisa, and Lake Como. A 1980 train trip to Venice, Ravenna and Florence certainly made a big impression, as did a solo cycle trip the same year taking in the Italian Riviera, the length of Lake Como, and the Maloja pass up to St. Moritz, staying mid-route with friends in a tiny village near Varese, whose incredible hospitality I recall to this day, including the excitement of being part of a large group of young people on a Saturday-night outing to Laveno on Lake Maggiore for gelati. In the summer of 1985 William took all his annual leave, plus some unpaid, to attend a month's intensive language course in Florence at the British Institute, an experience I can thoroughly recommend to any young italophiles. This prepared me well for my arrival in 1987 in the wonderful city of Turin, where I remained for four years, working at the San Paolo bank in Turin, Olivetti in Ivrea and a very traditional building society in Rome.
