Pass the gate and penetrate in the wide park of "Villa Crespi" means to immerse oneself in the past, till the end of the last century. In 1880 the lombard cotton industrial Benigno Crespi, who travelled frequently in oriental countries, started to build near Orta this unusual Islamic residence by the side of the romantic lake. During the century industrialists and poets, princes and sovereigns were guests in "Villa Crespi". Now the residence is transformed in an exclusive hotel. It gives the opportunity to sleep in splendid bedrooms with canopy. A prestigious hospitality to feel "for one night or a holiday" like a sultan. "Villa Crespi", dominated by a Moorish minaret, which appears through the larches, unmistakable from far away - attracts and fascinates the visitors. A walk in Orta centre, between the narrow lanes paved with cobblestones and the view of the evocative S.Giulio's Island, will remind you the medieval period. Please do not forget to have a special attention to our refined two-michelin-star restaurant! A unique style for an unforgettable stay.
