Orta San Giulio is a beautiful village on the shores of lake Orta in Italy. Hotel San Rocco is an average hotel which would not be popular if placed anywhere else but on the shores of the lake. It is not a bad hotel, but not great either. I found it lacking in character, maybe because it was out of... More

Wife and I recently did a 10 day trip to 3 of the Italian lakes (Orta, Maggiore, Como) with all lodging and tours booked via an Italian travel service located in Bellagio. Hotel San Rocco was one of the best places we stayed. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to the center of a very quaint... More

I had a single in the garret area with a small balcony over the lake, that was large enough and twice as charming with a beautiful modern elegant bath. I would book this room again. More

It was with some trepidation that we arrived at this hotel, given that the Rough Guide had totally slated it and given some of the bad reviews we had seen. However, a wonderful surprise awaited us. We loved it. The hotel must be the best positioned in Orta. It lies directly at the lake side and has spectacular views. The... More

We stayed here for four nights and overall enjoyed the hotel, but it's let down by poor serving staff at breakfast, small rooms and large, noisy wedding parties. Our room was small but modern, probably too modern for some people's tastes. The bathroom is good and the shower was excellent. However, there are no hooks in the bathroom, small point,... More

Summary: My (now) wife and I were married on Lake Orta and stayed at the San Rocco Hotel for the duration of our trip (except the eve of the wedding as it was bad luck for the bride to see the groom) which lasted 10 days. There were 8 people in our group staying at the hotel. Pros: The hotel... More

I loved this place. Lovely hotel in a perfect location on Lake Orta. Rooms are clean and have been finished well with good quality fittings. Quite a modern design for the rooms of the renovated part of the hotel but it works well i think. I stay in a lot of hotels and this one can not be faulted. Breakfast... More

Stayed in San Rocco in March and got a Lake View room. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and the views of St Julius island are breathtaking. We did not use the spa facilities as I was unwell at the time but the brochure looked fantastic and we will definitely try them when we go back. Reception staff were very... More

We stayed five days in the San Rocco on vacation at the shores of beautiful lake Orta and in the romantic town of San Giulio. Everything in the hotel was superb, friendly people at the front desk, in the bar, in the restaurant, everywhere friendly attendance. A great compliment to the chef in the kitchen, inventive and creative dishes, even... More
