Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Piazza Motta, Orta San Giulio Italy

The small town of Orta San Giulio is a one of the top destinations for tourists visiting our region.

A favourite place for romantic souls, the village is a maze of picturesque streets and little squares with craft boutiques, antique shops and lively cafés.

At the center of the town you will find Piazza Motta, pulsating heart of the life of the village, from which the connections for the Island of San Giulio begin; it overlooks the Broletto or Palace of the Community (on the facade you can admire the city crest), in which in the Middle Ages the power was exercised.

In front of the Broletto begins an uphill road called 'Motta' from which you reach the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta (1485).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: San Giulio Island, 28016 Orta San Giulio Italy

The pearl of Orta is the island of San Giulio:

the little Island of San Giulio is dominated by its Romanesque basilica.From the church you can walk along the narrow street that goes round the whole of the island: the “way of silence and meditation”.

We will visit San Giulio Island and the beautiful Church with the medieval pulpit.

Giulia was fabulous. She brought us around the village and the island and was so knowledgeable about the area. We had a great afternoon with her.

We took a 3 hour tour with Giulia Ferrari and she is awesome! Giulia knows all the history of San Giulio including the chapels honoring St. Francis of Assisi. We also took a boat with her to the island of San Giulio to tour the church and the grounds of the convent there. We stopped for cappuccino at the cafe on the island and it was quaint with a gorgeous view. Giulia is very knowledgeable about the local area and gave reliable recommendations for good quality hotels, restaurants, and shopping in the region. She is a pleasure to talk to, speaks English very well, and we highly recommend her!

Un luogo unico, un gioiello un po’ nascosto dove tranquillità e magia si fondono. Ottimi ristoranti e bar per ricchi aperitivi. Assolutamente da vedere!

Un posto fantastico, un piccolo borgo Orta con l'isoletta San Giulio a poca distanza e a fare da contorno una splendida natura e il tranquillo lago D'Orta. Il tutto raccontato dalla simpatica e professionale guida Giulia che ci ha organizzato un tour veramente impeccabile. Un'esperienza che consiglio di fare.

עיירה יפהפייה לא לבוא מחוץ לעונה כי הכל סגור. (בין נובמבר למרץ) ממש סגור. אם כבר הגעתם אל תוותרו על טיול רגלי לאיזור המנזרים שבמעלה ההר 13 מנזרים מתקופת הרנסנס ונקודת תצפית מקסימה שמשקיפה על העיירה.
