Highlights
Looking to get lost in the lap of luxury in northern Italy? While most people head to Lake Como and Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta casts a magical spell over those who visit.

You'll be captivated by its unique Moorish architecture and Arabian Nights atmosphere. And as much as the hotel entices you with its Michelin-star dining, Wellness Suite and fairytale guest rooms and suites, there's more to explore outside the villa's four walls. Mother Nature beckons with an abundance of hiking and Nordic walking trails, water skiing, sailing plus a nearby adventure park.

And after a long day outdoors, mosey back to Villa Crespi to enjoy exceptional cuisine and a fairytale stay reminiscent of The Arabian Nights. Your three-night active experience makes for unforgettable memories.

Accommodations
In keeping with the villa's arabesque architecture, the six guest rooms and eight guest suites reflect the middle eastern theme with antique parquet floors, ornately carved wood and stonework, lavish fabrics and upholstery. The four standard rooms are tucked away on the third floor and welcome you with antique pink-colored silk as you are swept away into a dream of luxurious comfort. The deluxe rooms on the first and second floor are adorned with antique gold-colored silk and imperial red. The two junior suites are decorated with royal blue silk and have an “L” shape. The executive suites located on the south side offer you an enchanting view of the lake and surrounding park. Inside the premium suites, you’ll find a lovely sitting room perfect for a bit of relaxation and reading. The two master suites have a large Arabian arc that separates the sleeping area from the intimate sitting area. Numerous lights, including floor lighting, give a romantic, soft glow. Most rooms have four-poster beds, lending a grand and opulent feel, and bathrooms feature elegant marble fittings.
