Villa Crespi

Close your eyes and dream.
Imagine a building in a Moresque style with a minaret and an internal design that reminds the abode of an emirate. And also elegant engravings in damascus style, arches in the shape of a horseshoe, frescoes ceilings in turquoise as the domes of the magical Orient.
However, glancing from the mullioned windows of this fascinating building we neither see sand dunes nor perceive the colours and aromas of the oriental baazars, but through the larch woods appears a clear vision of a lake: Lake Orta.

Lake Orta has long been a favorite of tourists thanks to the quiet beauty of the landscape, its fascinating history and its wealth of artistic treasures Romanesque and Baroque architecture. In the town of Orta San Giulio lies the Hotel Villa Crespi, an elegant four-star villa hotel of unique Moorish style. It is dominated by a minaret and surrounded by a wide park with view of the Lake of Orta. Top class wedding receptions in Lake Orta can be arranged in this stunning venue. Wonderful halls are available for elegant and secluded wedding receptions.Possibility of outdoor wedding receptions in the splendid garden surrounding the villa with wonderful vistas on the Lake.

Antonino Cannavacciulo is the chef: he has received numerous awards, including recognition by Gambero Rosso with the award of Three Forks, and the award of a Michelin star in 2003, and a second Michelin star in 2006. He catered gala dinners during the Olympics in Turin, has appeared on Italian television and has been widely covered in major newspapers and magazines. Chef Tony says “I like to give my customer some emotions which must not be flat and to transmit him something ‘true’ through my cuisine. My dish can be a remake of tradition or simply something new, according to my feeling on that special moment and product”.
Villa Crespi is a fairy-tale setting for exclusive and romantic wedding receptions in Lake Orta.
