Lake Orta, one of the smallest and least-known of northern Italy’s sub-Alpine lakes, and for some the most romantic in Italy is a place for sublime moments.
The area around the lake has long been a favorite , thanks to the quiet beauty of the landscape, its fascinating history and its wealth of artistic treasures – principally Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Lake Orta lies to the west of Lake Maggiore, in the northern Italy. It is a minor star in the costellation of the subalpine lakes, but all the fascination and the history of the larger lakes seem to be concentrated in this short space.
