City/town information

A medieval town on lake Orta. The hidden gem of the Italian northern lakes. The town centre is mainly pedestrian: the historic town of Orta San Giulio is a peninsula and you can walk all the way around it in a loop. the island of San Giulio is quite small yet charming and very quiet. You can catch a boat from the main square, they are very frequent. Take a stroll, try the local restaurant, enjoy the view and art in the Basilica church.

It's super tiny and quiet yet its magical vibes are so special. there are frequent boats from Orta that run every 15/20 minutes. On the island you can find a restaurant, the beautiful. basilica, the monastery and those typical alleys and architecture that blends history and fairy tales.
