Orta, the Lake, the town and the Island of San Giulio.
Perhaps the most romantic of the Italian Lakes. Visit this enchanting medieval town built along the shores of the Lake. Wander through the cobbled streets and then transfer across to the idyllic Island of San Giulio with the nunnery and its small but important Basilica. Orta offers numerous restaurants for lunch. After lunch wander amongst the streets of Orta with its innumerable small shops, or to visit the Sacro Monte close by. A truly magical day.

I have been to Lake Como, which I loved. I’ll now have to go to Lake Orta.
@bagnidilucca.Try and avoid Sundays, they are rather busy. Orta is a beautiful town and make time for the Sacro Monte as well.
