Villa Crespi

The Arabian Nights meets the Italian lakes at Villa Crespi, a stunning Moorish-inspired villa with a dramatic minaret, overlooking Lake Orta. With a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, lavishly decorated rooms, a sauna and massage treatments, this is a magical retreat surrounded by delightful gardens.

The feel here is palatial from the elaborate exterior stonework to the soaring galleried lobby with intricate stone carvings. The rooms and suites are furnished with four-poster beds, 19th century furniture, Moorish arches and stuccoed and frescoed ceilings.

Dining here is an experience. The menu changes according to the seasonal produce available from the local market. Try the Italian journey menu for a taste of specialities from the north to the south accompanied by the finest national and international wines from the finely stocked cellar of over 1,300 labels.

Villa Crespi is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
