I<\/p><\/div> f you love the Italian Lakes District but you are looking for a wedding destination that feels charming, intimate and very romantic, a wedding on Lake Orta could be the perfect choice for you. Discover more on our Lake Orta weddings page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lake Orta still preserves the real charm of a traditional Italian village. Orta San Giulio is a medieval town lying on the shores of the lake, facing the tiny island of St. Julius. Together they create an idyllic backdrop for a relaxed yet very elegant Italian wedding.<\/p>\n

Lake Orta is just behind the larger and more famous Lake Maggiore. The two lakes are separated only by Mount Mottarone and Lake Orta is less than 40 minutes\u2019 drive from Milan Malpensa International Airport. The area is surrounded by the Alps and close to Mount Rosa. The waters are clear and swimmable, so it is also a lovely idea for a short vacation or a honeymoon after the wedding.

The 3 must-see places on Lake Orta<\/h2>\n

To get a first feeling of the lake you can watch the short video below in English by Cosetta Dal Cin<\/strong>, art historian and licensed local tour guide. She introduces the three places you really should not miss, even if you only have a couple of hours:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sacro Monte di San Francesco<\/strong> \u2013 a UNESCO site since 2003, with chapels, art and peaceful woodland paths.<\/li>\n
  • The pedestrian village of Orta<\/strong> \u2013 a maze of cobbled streets that lead down to the main square on the water.<\/li>\n
  • The Island of San Giulio<\/strong> \u2013 the real jewel of Lake Orta, silent and contemplative, with its abbey and ancient villas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For more information you can visit Cosetta\u2019s website: www.ortaeoltre.it<\/a> (English version available). We hope you will enjoy the video and that it will help you imagine your time on Lake Orta.
