Lake Orta : for an intimate and enchanting wedding

Lake Orta is a small and enchanting lake to the west of Lake Maggiore.

Surrounded by lush nature, interspersed with very characteristic ancient villages, it will amaze you not only with its enchanting landscape, but also with the peace and silence that give an incomparable sense of intimacy.

Among the most famous villages we find Orta San Giulio which is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy: a truly precious gem to discover, where time seems to have stopped. C ompletely pedestrianized, the historic center winds through stone streets that touch the water and characteristic structures that are almost reminiscent of a medieval village, much loved by tourists.

In the center of the town there is the main square, a real living room overlooking the lake, from which boats depart for the Island of San Giulio: which is just 400 meters from the shore.

The island is dominated by the former seminary building, built in 1844 on the ruins of the castle. The seminary today houses the convent of cloistered Benedictine nuns Abbazia Mater Ecclesiae . On the island there is also the Basilica of San Giulio , the most important Romanesque monument in the Novara area.

In this intimate and enchanting setting, you can choose to organize the ceremony you most desire: from a religious rite in a church in the center of the city or in one overlooking the lake on the top of a hill, to a civil or symbolic rite celebrated in a fabulous gardens or green terraces that are reflected directly on the water.
