San Giulio Island Located in the middle of Lake Orta, San Giulio Island is worth a visit to see its medieval church EasyVoyage ©
Much smaller than its renowned Lombard neighbours, Lake Orta is merely 9 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. It is also less frequented by visitors at weekends and during the summer, which makes it the perfect destination for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet! Orta San Giulio is teeming with picturesque sites . Wander around the lake, or relax at one of the many cafes lining its shores. Do not miss out on the small island Isola San Giulio, which is a short boat ride from Orta San Giulio. Here you will find a 12th century basilica in an enchanting setting that invites you to stop for a moment to take it all in.
