• San Giulio Island
  "well worth a quick visit"
  "Not as pretty as Lago Maggiore's Isola Bella. Not as cultivated and commercialised. In fact no commerce at all, but that is a good thing as everything else in the Italian Lake District is. Lovely short boat trip and you only need twenty minutes to see the whole island. Peaceful and quiet this time o..."f year. " More >
• Lake Orta (Lago d'Orta)
  "Taken back in time."
  "Lake Orta is medieval in many ways and has a spiritual feel to it. The historical centre, overlooking the lake,has numerous buildings with frescoes and wonderful architecture. As it is traffic free, it has a calm air and boats moored to take you to the monastery and island in the centre of the lak..."e, known as the Island of Silence. There are good shops for food, clothes, and artisan crafts; visit before someone changes it into something it shouldn't become. A perfect reminder of Italian history of centuries past. " More >
• Sacro Monte di Orta
  "Quite a climb."
  "A route up a steep hill to reach the monastery at the top, dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. On the way there are 14 chapels depicting scenes from his life. The views when you get to the top, overlooking Lake Orta, and to the Alps beyond are stunning and worth the steep climb."
