Latest Orta San Giulio hotel reviews
Callavetta Says: Be sure to take the boat out to Isola di San Giulio. Out there you must visit the Basilica, open from 9:30 to 12:15 and 4:00 to 5:45. Wander around the tiny alleys and maybe stop for a vino at one of the small cafes.

All the tourist shops around the main piazza: "Traditional" limoncino D'Orta...
MariaK Says: The bottle of Limoncino (the famous liquer made from lemons, which I really loved though I'm not a fan of alcohol) that you will buy here, may cost you something like half the price more than the one you buy in a Super Market BUT - this has a "traditional" name and stamp...
Orta San Giulio: like a fairytale
MariaK Says: I would suggest a walk around the piazza and further along the lake bank. The beautiful view to the isola, the souvenir shops and cafes full of tourists (though it does not feel annoying at all - I'd say it gives some more and different "colour" to the place), the boats...
