Discover the Tranquil Charm of Isola San Giulio: A Peaceful Retreat on Lake Orta
Isola San Giulio, known as the "Island of Silence," offers a peaceful and historical retreat on Lake Orta. The island is home to the 12th-century Basilica di San Giulio and a community of Benedictine nuns who live in a tranquil, contemplative manner. Visitors can enjoy the "Way of Silence," a meditative path that circles the island. The absence of cars enhances the island's serenity, and after sunset, only the island's residents and overnight guests remain, allowing them to experience the island’s quiet beauty without the usual tourist crowds.
For dining, the island boasts a single, refined restaurant, Ristorante San Giulio, where guests can savor local delicacies and fresh fish from the lake, all while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding waters. This charming restaurant provides a perfect setting to taste the authentic flavors of the region.
Villa Monziani, located on Vicolo San Demetrio, is one of the few villas available for rent on Isola San Giulio. Guests of the villa have the rare opportunity to experience the island in peace, especially after the ferries stop running at sunset, leaving the island to only those fortunate enough to stay overnight. It offers a unique chance to enjoy a tranquil evening stroll and immerse oneself in the island's serene atmosphere.
Dive into Lakeside Adventures: Private Access to Lake Orta
Don't forget that the island and the surrounding lake offer opportunities for swimming, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), so you can make the most of the natural beauty and peaceful waters. You can access the lake directly from the villa’s private boathouse (darsena) or from the dock, providing unparalleled convenience for your lakeside adventures.
