Lake Orta rentals - discover one of Italy's best kept secrets!
A
Lake Orta rental gives you a wonderful opportunity to live
as the Italians do.
Lake Orta, one of Italy's smaller and more untouched lakes, is a favorite
weekend escape for Italians from all over the country. Here, you will learn how
to relax and enjoy life in the most carefree Italian way, eating fresh pasta and
fish, drinking local red wine, and laughing louder than you have ever laughed
before.
A Lake Orta rental places you steps away from the charming town of Orta San
Giulio, where, with no cars allowed, you will unwind as you stroll between the
wine bars, antique bookstores, jewelry boutiques, and fresh food markets. A
visit to the Isola San Giulio is a must-see on one of your day trips. This
island sparkles with light at night, but be sure to visit during the day when
you can choose to "Follow the Way of Meditation" from the Benedictine monastery
that quietly casts its peaceful presence over the entire island, or follow "The
Way of Silence" in the opposite direction.
Once you have found your voice again, try out a fun activity like renting a
rowboat and going on a crab-catching quest. Gather some homegrown produce from
the local market, add to it some natural cheese and handmade pasta, and pair
these delicacies with the fresh crab catch of the day to create an unforgettable
Italian feast in your
Lake Orta rental.
Are you itching for a dose of Italian history and culture? The twenty small
chapels of the
Sacro Monte church that reigns high above Orta San
Guilio will indulge you with their terracotta sculptures depicting the life and
teachings of Saint Francis. Devotion is strong in Lake Orta, and you will find
many signs of piety and sacrifice in the
Madonna del Sasso church,
perched high on a rocky ledge over the western shore, carefully watching over
the lake.
