Sacro Monte di Orta

Reviewed By K1825UUdavidm - Yellow Springs, United States

It's a bit of a hike up hill from the very lovely town of Orta San Guilia on a glorious lake, Lago d'Orta. This is like a pilgrimage to Saint Francis. There are 15-20 small chapels, each with life-size reproductions of events in the Saint's life. The human figures are remarkeably realistic and life like. It's a very quiet and serene environment and well worth a visit in this most lovely spot in the Lake District of Northern Italy

This small island is a jewel not often seen by tourists. The basilica is the most famous building on the island, but don't miss the nearby Benedictine monastery. Your trip should include a walk around this picturesque island, Boats to the island leave regularly from Orta, the lake's namesake village.

Piazza Motta

Reviewed By SabreSailor - New York, United States

This is the main hub of Orta. It's filled with restaurants and, the day we were there, an outdoor market. It's the place from which the ferry and private boats leave for Isola San Guilio.
