Just a few steps from Lake Orta, Villa Crespi is a spectacular property built in 1879. The villa’s arabesque architecture, stunning gardens and the hospitality of Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo and his wife Cinzia make a stay here magical. Antonino’s masterful cuisine is deeply influenced by the places and flavours experienced during his professional journey. His menu is an itinerary from southern to northern Italy, starting with a brochette of scallops and scampi and ending with pigeon and foie gras. From Villa Crespi you can contemplate a magnificent Italy, just 45 minutes away from Milan Malpensa: the medieval village of Orta and the Island of San Giulio, the famous site of Sacro Monte, and the Lake Maggiore.

"Romantic"
Loved everything about our stay, the property itself and incredible detail of the restoration, combined with sympathetic furnishings. The staff were wonderful, particularly (standouts) were Matteo the Concierge and Denise the therapist and Silvio our waiter at dinner.

This was our second visit to Villa Crespi. On both occasions we stayed two nights. We will definitely return again. Whilst the food and the amazing menus of Antonio Cannavacciuolo are the main event of villa crespi, the atmosphere, charm and overall cosseting ambience
