On the shore of Lake Orta.

The Island of San Giulio · just a few strokes from the campsite

Slow living

The lake, two steps away.

Step out of the Camping BellaVista gate and within a few steps your feet are already in the water, along a promenade that looks out onto the Island.

Nothing to organise: the beach is right at hand, the village of Orta and the Island just minutes away. The privilege of being right on the lakeshore is all here.

Three moments

Water, village, island.

Three ways to experience the lake, all within reach of the campsite.

Water

The beach

Wooden jetties, crystal-clear water, sandy beaches. For a morning swim or a midday break — just a few steps from the campsite gate.

Village

Orta San Giulio

Stone squares, flower-filled balconies, bars with a lake view. Minutes from the campsite, in the heart of one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.

Island

The Island of San Giulio

An island of stone and silence in the middle of the lake. Reached in minutes with the Orta boatmen — a Benedictine monastery, narrow lanes, a view that stays with you.

A day

The rhythm of the lake.

  1. Morning

    A swim at the jetty, 5 minutes from the campsite. The water is still calm, the light cuts across the lake.

  2. Lunch

    A table on the Orta San Giulio lakefront: lunch with a view of the Island, the boatman passing by.

  3. Afternoon

    Ferry to the Island. Lanes, cloister, and that silence you won't find anywhere else.

  4. Sunset

    An aperitif in the square, as the sun fades over the mountains mirrored on the lake.

In practice

Everything just minutes away.
