Palazzo Gemelli

Orta San Giulio (NO)

Where it is located and historical background Gemini Palace is a Late Renaissance mansion, but restored in 1591, located at the end of the salita della Motta in Orta San Giulio.

The facade, which is partly frescoed, still retains an original painted wooden doorway.

In front of the Palace is a large stone terrace that serves as an outdoor living room with a view of the Church and the descent to the Piazza by the Lake.

Palace for events

The Gemini family has decided to occasionally use the Palazzo for very exclusive private events.

Owner Angela carefully maintains the Italianate garden that runs inside the Palazzo and is its greatest asset.

These are green terraced floors scattered with typical plants and with pools of water lilies and orchards.

A fairytale garden with a view directly over the rooftops and then over Lake Orta.

I discovered this gem many years ago thanks to a couple who knew the property had the privilege of being able to get married there.

I fell in love immediately since it is the only palace in Orta that has a beautiful view and can host a wedding in total exclusivity.

Pros and cons of the location

The garden is the absolute highlight and its conformation is romantic and graceful enough that it lends itself to many stylistic interpretations.

The interior of the Palace is medium so we recommend no more than 80 guests.

In case of rain, it is necessary to invest budget for a marquee.

Good organization for guests is advisable since the area is pedestrian only so a plan for the elderly or those carrying handicaps should be well thought out.

Wedding style in this Villa.

I believe I have set up the most beautiful weddings in the Mansion since the Mansion only accepts 5 per hanno.

I reserve the right to say that the style is elegant decadent.

We could call it fané if it were a French movie.

This place does not call for exaggeration or luxury but for style and spontaneous elegance.

It doesn't call for wild revelry but for very sophisticated swing music danced barefoot in the grass as the sun dips and hardens the Lake and the Isle of Silence.

It takes a bit of magic and retro flair to make a wedding that is special and highlights this place.
