Overview

This small lake to the west of Lago Maggiore is one of the loveliest places I have ever been. It is telling that the Milanese call it La Cenerentola (Cinderella) because they have long considered it the secretly superior sibling to the larger, money-blighted lakes of Como and Maggiore. But, for me, what sets Orta apart is not its beauty – though the place is absurdly pretty – but the lake's mysterious, ethereal, almost supernatural quality. There is something for the soul there as well as for the eye.

What's Included

  • Private transportation
  • Professional English speaking driver at disposal full day

What To Expect

Lake Orta

It is telling that the Milanese call it La Cenerentola (Cinderella) because they have long considered it the secretly superior sibling to the larger, money-blighted lakes of Como and Maggiore. But, for me, what sets Orta apart is not its beauty – though the place is absurdly pretty – but the lake's mysterious, ethereal, almost supernatural quality. There is something for the soul there as well as for the eye. Set off to the Lake Orta region for a full day food and wine experience with a personal driver and tour guide. In the morning meet your professional English speaking driver and guide in Milan at disposal for a full day. You will then be escorted to the Lake Orta Region for a food and wine experience. After the visit you will continue to Orta Lake, a small alpine lake with breathtaking landscapes.

San Giulio Island

Orta San Giulio is built on the slopes of a steep hill (the Sacro Monte) that forms a peninsula jutting out into the lake. By day it looks longingly toward the beautiful island. By night, the gaze becomes even more amorous when the island is lit up and appears to float on dark water glistening with reflections.
