Itinerary
Day 1: London – Lake Orta
We journey aboard Eurostar from London to Paris and join the TGV to Stresa, where we are transferred by coach to our hotel on the shores of Lake Orta.
Day 2: Lake Orta
Today is free to explore Lake Orta, a star in this constellation of subalpine lakes. Situated entirely in Piedmont, it’s only 8 miles long and less than 2 miles wide. It is truly a location for sublime moments; in fact, it’s a rather secret place.
The Hotel Giardinetto, Pettenasco
The 3 star Hotel Giardinetto in Pettenasco lies on the shores of Lake Orta. Here you can enjoy all the comforts of a modern hotel: a private beach and a landing stage. All of the bedrooms have an en suite, a satellite TV, a telephone and a hairdryer. There is also a restaurant with a lakeside veranda as well as a large banquet hall.
