Albergo Leon d’Oro

The historic hotel Leon d’Oro lies between the lake and the alleys of the medieval center of Orta San Giulio, overlooking the famous Piazza Motta, Orta’s outdoor lounge. It was founded in 1815 and is still managed by the Ronchetti family.
Hotel Leon d’Oro offers a range of modern and flexible services, nestled between the ancient stones of the Orta San Giulio village and the calm waters of the lake.
It is the ideal place for relaxing leisure stays, holidays dedicated to sport, entertainment, music, shopping and art.
Every detail is linked to a territory rich in excellence with the granite columns and the wrought iron railings worked by the famous Ortesi blacksmiths.
The owners and their staff keep alive a long tradition of hospitality and courtesy, fulfilling guests every wish.
The charming building boasts a terrace overlooking the island and two elegant, recently renovated restaurant rooms.
The romantic location is ideal for dinners for two lulled by the lapping of the lake but also for private and corporate events. The cuisine, led by Chef Cesare Scazzosi, combines Italian tradition and Cusio excellence: typical products at km 0, homemade pasta and lake fish are accompanied by an impressive wine list that ranges from the Novara hills to the vineyards of half of Europe.
