St. Julius Island is the gem of Lake Orta. It is small, romantic, mystic and it is just there in front of Orta village… you can see it in the wedding shots of all our weddings!
During middle age on the Island there was Queen Willa III of Arles’s queen. She was Italian King Berengario’s wife.
It was under siege Longobards King Ottone and the castle was destroyed. It was just there that a monastery born. Around it there there were nobles and prelatures’s homes.
Nothing changed on St. Julius Island. All seems frozen in the past. There is a lovely cobbled road, mystic atmosphere and wonderful St. Julius Abbey. One of these is Villa Tallone. Some years ago in this Villa Restaurant St. Julius was established.
- Today St. Julius Restaurant is one of the best destination for couples who want to get married on Lake Orta.
- Best spot is its terrace on the lake just in front of Orta village. it can host up to 120 guests for a wonderful reception!
