Villa Crespi, Piedmont

Description: Villa Crespi

This magnificent property is located in a huge shady garden dropping down to the shores of Lake Orta, by Orta San Giulio. Set in a carefully restored and maintained 19th century villa, this luxury boutique hotel offers sumptuous accommodation in a unique Arabesque building. Originally built in 1879, this magnificent villa has borne witness to many moments in history, and is now a Relais & Chateaux property where nature, art and history are combined to create unforgettable experiences.

With two Michelin Stars, Villa Crespi's restaurant offers gourmet cuisine based on the finest organic local produce and a fusion of the Mediterranean flavours of the chef's home region with the traditions of Piedmont and the Tyrol. The restaurant is set in the splendid dining room and veranda, offering guests delightful views of the lake.

Ideal for exploring this romantic lake region, there are a number of fascinating sights and attractions within easy reach of Villa Crespi, including San Giulio island, just opposite the hotel, and the Sacro Monti di Orta, one of the nine sacred mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy, Unesco World Heritage sites. A wide range of water sports are available on the lake, including wind-surfing, kayaking and water skiing.

Villa Crespi has 14 rooms and suites, all decorated in the magnificent Arabesque style of the rest of the villa. Antique furniture, ornately carved wood and stonework, rich fabrics and drapes combined with modern amenities will take guests back to bygone eras.
