Lake Orta Holidays

Lake Orta holidays offer an intimate and peaceful holiday, as the smallest of Italy’s four great lakes.

On a scenic getaway to Lake Orta, be sure to wander through the medieval village of Orta San Giulio – often regarded as among one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. Discover the village’s charming cobblestone alleyways, serene main square, as well as its beautiful peninsula trail which weaves along the waterfront of the Orta San Giulio peninsula. The trail offers astounding views of the lake, passing villas and pretty gardens.

During a holiday to Lake Orta, don’t miss the Isola San Giulio – a splendid island in the middle of the lake, which you can easily access by boat from the Piazza Motta dock. Gaze at the artwork within the Romanesque Basilica di San Giulio, and stroll along the island’s ‘Path of Silence’ – the name and intention of the path honouring the island’s historic Benedictine convent way of life.

Trailfinders offers a range of Lake Orta holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want a weekend escape or to combine with other parts of Italy – they are the perfect people to ask.
