On the Prealps with love

Our affordable holiday lettings in Lake Orta are situated on the westernmost of Italy's pre-alpine lakes. The lake itself was formed by the melting of part of the southern front of the Simplon Glacier. it is embraced to the west by Mount Croce and to the east by the Mottarone Massif. Located in Piedmont, the lake is part of two provinces. These are Verbania-Cusio-Ossola and Novara. It develops from north to south and is divided into two basins separated by a ridge that cuts it perpendicularly. The basin to the north is smaller and deeper while the one to the south is wider and lower. The island of San Giulio rises out of the lake. All of these factors make Lake Orta a special destination for those who love nature and want to enjoy a holiday in a serene location that is home to picturesque villages.

Discover Lake Orta

A getaway spent in one of our comfortably appointed holiday lettings in Lake Orta will leave you speechless. The stages of the lake are all sensational and full of beauty. The northernmost village is Omegna. It is known as the birthplace of Gianni Rodari who is famed as a writer of stories for children. The area is home to the Nigoglia stream that runs towards the Alps instead of flowing to the sea. This is an amazing place to simply appreciate nature while you walk along its banks.

A visit to the village of Orta San Giulio is another must. It is dotted with neoclassical houses and well-kept, luxurious gardens. Piazza Motta is known as the lounge of the lake because of the many amazing views of the water it offers. You can also take a public boat to visit the island of San Giulio. It is the site of the Romanesque Church of San Giulio and a cloistered convent. Returning to the coast of the lake, you will find Pella. This ancient village dates to the Iron Age. You can check out a medieval tower, the Chapel of San Filiberto and a lovely pier. There is also the bridge over the Pellino that connects the village to San Rocco.
