From this panoramic point you have an incredible view of Lake Orta and the small island of San Giulio, characterized by the wonderful basilica. The elegant palaces on the sides house the cloistered nuns.

Villa Crespi, Orta San Giulio

Highlight • Historical Site

Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio (Piedmont) is a Moorish-style residence established in 1879 as the country estate of the Italian cotton industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi.

The building, which can be seen from afar through its miniature tower, is an example of oriental architecture in Italy. His builder, who also had the industrial estate Crespi d'Adda built, is said to have chosen this style as a sign of his attachment to the Orient, especially Baghdad. Especially among Crespi's son Silvio Benigno Crespi (1868-1944), one of Italy's most influential industrial magnates until 1929, and among the successors, the Marchesi Fracassi di Torre Rossano, the villa became the meeting place of the country's aristocratic, industrial and political elite.

Today there is a small luxury hotel in the villa.

Lake Orta viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between Vaciago and Vaciaghetto, this panoramic point on the eastern shore of Lake Orta allows you to best observe the territories of the former Riviera di San Giulio (or Episcopal principality of San Giulio), an autonomous state entity between 1219 and 1767, which later became a Savoy fiefdom.
