About the destination

If you are looking for the ideal place for a romantic getaway, I recommend you make a note of this name: Orta San Giulio on the wonderful Lake Orta! Forget the hustle and bustle of the larger lakes; here the atmosphere is intimate, almost suspended in time. Lake Orta (or Cusio) is a real gem nestled among the Piedmont mountains. Its calm waters reflect the green hills, creating a dreamlike setting. This area is much less crowded and more intimate than Lake Maggiore, making it perfect for finding peace and quiet, ideal for unwinding and focusing on yourself. Orta San Giulio is the main village, a labyrinth of cobbled alleys, flower-filled balconies, and ancient houses that slope gently down to the shore. Being entirely pedestrianized, it offers only hand-in-hand strolls, without the noise of cars! The real romantic heart is the Island of San Giulio, reachable by a short and picturesque boat ride. This island, dominated by the Mater Ecclesiae Abbey, looks like something out of a fairy tale. Walk along the “Via del Silenzio e della Meditazione” (Path of Silence and Meditation): the breathtaking views you will see along the way are perfect for candlelit dinners with a lake view. You will fall in love with the quiet magic of this corner of Piedmont!
