Lake Orta villas - Spend your vacation by a dreamy Italian lake!
If you are looking for a humble and off-the-beaten-path travel destination,
try a
Lake Orta villa.
Morning mists fill this favorite weekend escape, and you know you have stumbled
across something special, because it is also the choice of native Italians for a
relaxing and fun-filled getaway. This gem is one of the smaller lakes in Italy,
and with an area of eight miles long and two miles wide, it is the sole Italian
lake that rests entirely in the region of Piedmont.
Lake Orta is also a place of devotion and serenity. Find yourself surrendering
to the peaceful aura of Saint Francis as you meander among the terracotta
sculptures that depict his life. These invigorating works of art are scattered
throughout the twenty small chapels of the
Sacro Monte church high above the
town of Orta San Giulio. This endearing and car-free town nurtures your
imagination as well as your unique vacation experience in a Lake Orta villa. You
will return to Orta San Giuilo time and time again as you admire its charming
buildings, painted in a rich cream color with matching thick slate tiles
adorning all of the roofs.
Dusk is a special time on Lake Orta - treat yourself to dinner at one of Orta
San Giulio's exquisite local restaurants, where your palette will rejoice as you
enjoy the breathtaking view of the Isola San Giulio. This island, located in the
middle of the Lake, is lit up like a Christmas tree in the evenings, and holds
its own treasures just waiting to be discovered. A Benedictine monastery on the
island invites you to "Follow the Way of Meditation" and you will find yourself
surrendering to the open and loving mentality that seeps through every crevice
of the towns, churches, and streets of the lake communities and right back to your
Lake
Orta Villa.
