Embark on a captivating Orta Lake daily tour that promises an unforgettable day filled with exploration and tranquility. Our meticulously planned tour is designed to provide you with a seamless and enriching experience of one of Italy’s most picturesque locations.

Morning Arrival and Village Exploration

Your day begins with the convenience of being picked up from your villa at a time that suits you best. We provide a private car or van service to transport you comfortably to the charming village of Orta. Upon arrival, you’ll meet our knowledgeable local tour guide who will lead you on a leisurely stroll through the village.

Exploring Orta on foot is the ideal way to appreciate its beauty. You will wander through narrow cobblestone streets, discover quaint piazzas, and admire the well-preserved architecture of old houses and courtyards. Each turn and corner of the village tells a story of its rich history and vibrant local culture.

A brief but picturesque boat ride will take you to the small island at the heart of Lake Orta, where you will visit the impressive Romanesque basilica. This historic church is adorned with beautiful sculptures and frescoes that capture the essence of medieval artistry. You’ll have the opportunity to wander around the peaceful paths of the Benedictine monastery, known as “the way of silence” and “the way of meditation.” This tranquil experience is further enhanced by the presence of a small community of cloistered nuns, adding to the spiritual ambiance of the island.

Culinary Delights and Panoramic Views

After your island visit, we will drive you to one of the area’s renowned restaurants. You have the option to dine at the panoramic La Darbia restaurant or the Battle of Britain Restaurant, where you can enjoy a meal (at cost price) that complements the day’s experiences. We can arrange a tasting menu for the group upon request, allowing you to sample a variety of local dishes.
