ORTA SAN GIULIO
The charm and fascination of the ancient village of Orta San Giulio are difficult to describe. Orta is the pearl and the heart of the lake. The absence of cars, the old houses with granite portals and wrought iron gates, the narrow lanes, the inner courtyards and the small, typical shops will take the visitor back to the past.
Largely unchanged for centuries Orta is simply enchanting with its typical cobbled streets and archways lined with plenty of bars and restaurants. The pace of the village is slow and unhurried and makes for a perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday.
Take a two-minutes stroll through the narrow lanes to the main square and enjoy a characteristic Italian dish or drink excellent wines in one of the typical little cafes and restaurants which offer genuine food and hospitality.
In this unspoiled corner of Northern Italy, the breathtaking scenery, together with the artistic and cultural patrimony, will give you the feeling of an unforgettable experience.
This area also excels for the mild and healthy climate as testify the sub tropical vegetation with palms, oleanders, camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, hybiscus, hortenses, kiwiplantations and vineyards.
