Villa Crespi setting is absolutely special thanks to its exotic moorish design. The Hotel exterior is really noticeable whilst the interior moorish ceilings are reminiscent of Istambul and its mosques. Common spaces are the ones you would find in a private somptuos palace whilst the rooms decor is extremely traditional with antique furniture. The four poster bed is comfortable though... More

While we were in Italy on a touring holiday, my wife and I decided to renew our 20 year-old wedding vows at Lake Orta. Lake Orta is one of the most romantic places we have been to in Italy, in fact of anywhere we have been. We thought Sacro Monte at Orta was the ideal place for renewing our vows.... More

This review relates only to our restaurant experience as we didn't stay at the hotel. We were very much looking forward to our dinner at Villa Crespi as reviews and local recommendations said that it was one of the best restaurants in the nearby area (we stayed at Lago Maggiore). I found the service extremely disappointing because the servers all... More

My partner and I have just returned from staying at Villa Crespi for 5 nights. Everything about our stay was fantastic. The staff were all friendly, polite, attentive (but not imposing) and willing to assist with anything we wanted or needed. As there are so few rooms, it doesn't seem busy at all - which is something we liked. We... More

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous with exceptional service. You feel you have been transported back in time with the beautiful architecture. The only negative thing to say and it really isn't a big deal however it is good to know that they do not have a pool. We were there in September and with all the amazing sights around the... More

clean rooms, excellent food (both breakfast spread and michelin rated dinner) and fantastic service (from booking a room, during my stay and after service). great holiday in lake orta :) More

Stayed 3 nights at the Villa Crespi and enjoyed my visit immensely . This hotel is a treat. The staff greeted us at the door with a cold drink, checked us in and took us to our room. The villa itself is a work of art and the grounds are beautiful. There are several places to sit outside and relax... More

We stayed at Villa Crespi as part of our honeymoon last month. On reading the previous comments, i feel sure we were staying at a different Villa Crespi. When we arrived we iniitally thought 'wow what a beautiful building", we were only staying two nights but by the end we were calling it Faulty Towers. When we got to our... More

I booked a room, then realized I had to change dates. The staff were really accomodating, and upgraded me. I was in the most incredible room - four poster bed, marble jacuzzi bath, view of the lake, it was really gorgeous. And the minibar was free! Wish Id known that before. Gorgeous place, friendly staff - they picked me up... More
