Calm, charming and beautiful place. Even before spring we spent there warm Sunday afternoon. Highly recommended.

taking the boat from the main square in Orta San Giulio to San Giulio Island takes less then 5 minutes - the return trip is Euro 4.50. The boat runs every half hour or so. Once on the island, you 're in a peaceful and serene environment. The large monastery dominating the island is not publicly accessible, but the footpath around the island is picturesque - incidentally it is called 'la voie du silence' (trail of silence). Make sure to visit the Basicila di San Giulio, a 13th century church with many (restored) wall and ceiling frescoes...

This small lake is absolutely fantastic. The scenery is wonderful, the water is uncontaminated. The village that gives its name is a jewel of small streets and cobblestones and a nice ice cream and pastries are deliciously available with a loving lake view. Much nicer than the more famous Stresa. And less pretentious.
