Orta San Giulio, Italy

Orta San Giulio Italy

It is a lakeside town in an unexpected Mediterranean-feeling region. Orta San Giulio sits right on the shore of its namesake lake, with the steep slopes of this tiny peninsula rising behind it. Its medieval centre is completely pedestrianised, adding a distinctive nostalgic charm. Here, every little street seems to compete day after day to be the most picturesque and the most beautiful, with countless family-run shops, wrought-iron balconies and arcades that fade into the lake’s horizon. And above it all stands the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site – which is no small thing.
