 Hotel San Rocco 

Historical charm

A former 16th century monastery with a stunning lakeside location, gourmet dining and panoramic outdoor pool.

This monastery-turned-luxury-hotel has an enviable location on the shores of Lake Orta. Views here are magical with sparkling waters encased by forest-clad hills. The picture-perfect panoramas make it a romantic choice, but it’s also great for families too. Holidays at San Rocco are super relaxing. Pull up a lounger by the pool, sip aperitifs on the terrace, soak up the scenery from the Jacuzzi or tuck into a delicious lakeside lunch. There’s plenty of lake-focused fun to be had here too, from kayaking to sailing to simply strolling with a gelato in hand. For those what-shall-we-do days, the charming Orta San Guilio is moments away, or you can hop on a boat to the beach.

Why we love Hotel San Rocco

  • It’s got an unbeatable location on the edge of Lake Orta and steps from the picturesque town of Orta San Giulio.

  • Housed in a former monastery, it’s bursting with historical charm.

  • With a jacuzzi and solarium overlooking the lake, the rooftop garden is perfect for do-nothing days.

  • Dining here is a gourmet affair with a menu that’s just as impressive as the views.

Head up to the roof garden after a day out on the lake. Soothe your muscles in the Jacuzzi, up your Vitamin D intake at the solarium, or sit back and read in the relaxation area. Massages with a view are also on offer.

A panoramic swimming pool is perfect for refreshing dips and cocktail sips. As well as admiring the lake, you can also dive right in. Kayaks and pedalos are available to rent from the hotel. If you’re longing for a day at the beach, you’re in luck. Located in Pella, Hydrogen Lake Beach is just a few minutes by boat or a 15-minute drive. Here you’ll find a beautiful sandy beach with crystal-clear waters and of course, amazing views.

Sustainability is important to Hotel San Rocco. It’s the first hotel to install a zero-emission hydrogen combustor since the early 2000s. In 2010, the hotel was also certified as the first ICIM environmentally sustainable hotel building. The hotel also uses renewable electricity and has a fully electric zero emission minivan serving guests.
