Relais & Chateaux Villa Crespi

Avventura stupenda, location molto bella, servizio straordinario, personale molto gentile. Colazione e cena solo squisitezze.

After reading so many positive reviews here and elsewhere, my husband and I traveled to Orta from our nearby hotel with the express purpose of seeing Villa Crespi to make a dinner reservation for later this week and see the property to consider for a future stay. As we walked through the gates to approach the entrance, an employee (perhaps security?) ran up, wagged his finger and ordered us to leave. I tried to approach him to explain our interest but he refused to talk to me and chased us away. My husband and I are in our 60’s and were well-dressed, but he treated us like hooligans who were trying to crash a royal wedding. Over the years I have stayed at many Relais & Chateau properties all around the world, both for business and personal travel, where I have always appreciated the gracious hospitality, so was especially shocked by this hostility.

Excellent hotel although we were only here a short night. The restaurant was closed so they sent us to Michelin star sister hotel du lax. Phenomenal. Food excellent service top notch h. Richard st front desk checked us in and took good care of us . Our room was very large and comfortable overlooking lake. The sheets were best I’ve ever felt true Italian linen. Old world for sure but very comfortable. We had welcome drinks in the cute bar before heading to dinner at du lac. Would stay again it was wonderful . Sorry we didn’t get to stay longer. We stayed night before heading to airport which was 1 hr away. Loved it.

Stayed one night (unfortunately on a day when the restaurant was closed). But it was wonderful nevertheless.. the whole place is unique .. a lovely bar and breakfast area .. and the location is great to walk around the peninsula of Orta San Giulio. Also only 15 minutes walk into San Giulio which has lovely restaurants

It was a wonderful experience. Hotel wonderful, personnel excellent and a very special dinner and gastronomic experience. Very good.

A culinary highlight in a spectacular setting. Chef patron Antonino Cannavacciuolo enchants with his menus. The Villa Crespi is an imposing hotel with a marvellous interior design. The service is excellent, very friendly and the team goes the extra mile to fulfil requests. You can feel that it is a family and you are warmly welcomed. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
