Hotel Leon d'Oro

Orta San Giulio


A red carpet leads you through the front door and regal furniture greets you in the lobby at this 200-year-old lakefront beauty. Sunny yellows and deep blues dominate the decor, with heavy window curtains, timber furniture and tiled floors; though you should avoid the cramped standard rooms. It also has some smallish suites with attractive spiral staircases.

The waterfront terrace is the place for gorgeous Isola San Giulio views. You can take a dip in the lake from here.
