The staff very friendly and helpful to us especially Ana. Walking distance to Piazza, great wine bars, and restaurants. We were fascinated by Sacri Monti, what a gem find. Never realized like this existed since 500 years ago and there's 7 of them in the Piedmont area!
Breakfast is fabulous and can't beat the awesome view from our balcony!

Orta San Giulio is a little hidden gem in the North of Italy. I booked a bit by coincidence and I was very positively surprised. The old center is a very nice place to stroll around and the Piazza Motta is a great place to enjoy one of the terraces.

It is a lovey attractive lake with a very pretty island accessible by ferries from all sound the lakeside villages. San Giuliano is quite beautiful but is a victim of its success because it is difficult to access having to park some way out and walk and is of course very touristy. There are lots of narrow streets and boutiques and some super restaurants. A romantic place. The Venus restaurant was excellent right by the ferry port and the perfect setting for a cocktail and sumptuous meal.

Orta San Giulio is a stunning little lake-side town, full of character, natural beauty and Italian charm. There is tons to do, including boat rides, water sports, private beaches, walks etc. and just enough restaurants to keep you entertained with fabulous food.

Beautiful little town in the Italian lakes.
Beautiful little town in the Italian lakes. The town is perfect for a relaxed break. There is opportunity for watersports, restaurants and bars as well as swimming in the lake and hiking in the hills and mountains nearby.
You cannot park in the centre of town, so be aware that you will need to walk luggage down to your hotel if you are staying in the centre. We got the train in from Milan, which was very easy and a much cheaper option.

I enjoyed walking around the lake, it was very relaxing.
I enjoyed walking around the lake, it was very relaxing. The lake water was clean and clear with some ducks always swimming on the lake.
The boat ride from Orta San Giulio to Isola San Giulio was short, but there is no social distancing in the boat (I would have avoided it next time).
Sacro Monte di Orta is a must-go, if you enjoy some walking on natural path and also seeing some chapels. Magnificient view from the top to see Isola San Giulio.

This was our second stay at Hotel San Rocco. It has become one of our favorite places in Italy and we look forward to returning next year. Orta San Giulio is beautiful and we had a charming "classic" room in the villa with spectacular views of the lake. We enjoyed the pool and swimming in the lake. Also the bar and restaurant (elevated Italian seafood!). The breakfast buffet is the best of all the hotels we stayed at on this trip. And the hotel's boat captain gave us a lovely mini cruise on the lake.
Great central location in historic building. Beautiful residents lounge. Very quiet and comfortable. Park in the multistory and it’s a very short (and signed) walk to Via Monti. Best for one of you to stay with the luggage outside the property and the other one walk the additional 200m to the Hotel. The staff will come back with you with the keys. Much easier than it sounds!
The location in the main piazza of Orta San Giulio was fantastic. Our little balcony overlooked the piazza and the lake.
The room was very spacious with a comfortable bed. Very unique having an enormous shower in the room rather than the bathroom.
The breakfast was a bonus, and had a large variety of fresh foods.
We would recommend this hotel to our friends.
The location is fantastic. We were staying for a wedding on the lake and being right on the square was perfect for meeting other guests. The room looked better than in the pictures on booking.com I'd look at having them redone if I was the hotel. Staff were friendly and always happy to help. We were under two bookings but allowed us to stay in the same room.
Nothing went well. We were switched from our original booking due to mechanical problems at the site. Then sent to another Piccolo site (Saint Catherines. This was totally charmless and a at a car's ride to the city centre. The room was complete devoid of any charm. The was no hot water, the room was cold and there were no blankets. Very Un
Perfect location, right in the middle of the piazza and all the restaurants, bars and shops. Even better than the photos depicted. Stefano is an incredible host and provided very helpful instructions to arrive and also tips and suggestions during our stay. I highly recommend staying at OrtaFlats when in Orta San Giulio.
A hotel in the centre of the village. Excellent breakfast but needed warm clothing as restaurant is on the roof and early morning in late September is not so warm! Same applied to the excellent evening meal in the roof restaurant. (Note the times in the internet are wrong - the restaurant opens at 19.30, not 19.00).
Best place I have ever stayed in my life. The location is absolutely amazing! Literally a few steps from the lake with private access. Even though the weather didn't help us at all it was worth it. The bathroom is elegant and spacious (very rare when it comes to Italy).
The hotel was surprisingly excellent in so many ways - location is easily accessible, very friendly and courteous staff, lovely breakfast, beautiful, comfortable room with very a peaceful view! I love everything about this place. Highly recommended.
The host Stefano making sure that everything was fine for our stay. The view on the lake and the Isola is amazing. Leaving the building, you are in the central place of Orta San Giulio. From your apartment, you see the traffic of the shuttle boats.
Lovely stay and the hotel was really nice, comfortable and beautiful but there wasn't that much around when we were there. It was ideal for us at that part of the trip but if you were staying longer I think you would want more things to do.
Location was excellent, right in the middle of town. Piera was easy to work and communicate with. Apartment is very spacious even for family of 5. Nice partial view of the lake. Would stay here again if visiting orta san Giulio.
Located right in the center of Orta San Giulio, parking nearby included, well equipped kitchen, fruit, cafe and Prosecco for free :) cosy and authentic. And windows with flyscreen!
The hotel is in a good location, easy walking distance to the lake. Ample secure parking. Very helpful staff on reception.
