Villa Crespi

Villa Crespi is a fine historical residence 40 minutes from Malpensa airport. Built in exotic style in 1879 overlooking Lake Orta it nestles in elegant gardens, with interiors and a minaret reminiscent of an emir’s palace. The exclusive atmosphere is completed by the world class restaurant awarded recognition by the most authoritative of guides. Run personally by Cinzia and chef husband Antonino Cannavacciuolo, creator of a new modern Mediterranean cuisine embracing native Naples and his adopted Piedmont. A sauna and selection of massages and beauty treatments ensure the pampering of both body and soul.
