Just eight miles long and two miles wide, Orta is among the most picturesque of the Italian Lakes. Camilias, azaleas, rhododendrons, wisteria, hydrangea and gardenia decorate the water's edge whilst snow-capped mountains offer a dramatic backdrop. The spires and towers of numerous churches and the atmospheric morning mist add a sense of romance and mystery to the views.

Few visitors to Lake Orta venture beyond the town of Orta San Giulio, but we recommend you head to the village of Pella on the western shores and you’ll discover one of the best hotels to open in the region for many years.
