Lake Orta, set in the foothills of the Italian Alps, is a quieter alternative to the more well-known lakes of northern Italy but just as captivatingly beautiful.
You’ll find a peaceful atmosphere around pretty Lake Orta, where you can expect to be charmed by the historic town of Orta San Giulio, an inviting destination for easy strolling. The town’s narrow cobblestone streets lead down to the sparkling waterfront, where boats shuttle visitors to San Giulio Island, a car-free isle dominated by an ancient monastery with a scenic walking path circling its edge.
Back in Orta San Giulio, the Piazza Motta serves as a welcoming central square with cafés and restaurants overlooking the water. Linger a while, order local ice cream from the gelateria, or peruse your picnic options at the charcuteries – ideal if you’re planning on a day ascending Sacro Monte to see the 20 chapels that line a hilltop route overlooking the lake. If you’d rather be waited on, there’s no shortage of excellent restaurants, including a Michelin-starred option to experience the champagne lifestyle glamour the Italian Lakes are known for.
