Rooms and suites are richly adorned with hand-carved wooden ceilings, frescoes, and silk drapes. Many offer garden or lake views. Spacious marble bathrooms, canopy beds, and curated antiques evoke the villa’s Arabian heritage while delivering the comfort of a luxurious private residence.
At the award-winning Villa Crespi Restaurant, tasting menus take you on a journey through Italy—from soused amberjack and scampi alla pizzaiola to handmade cannelloni and lemon-scented desserts. Dine in an ornate Moorish setting and pair each course with a fine wine from the curated list.
Villa Crespi’s wellness area is a tranquil retreat where aromatherapy and Italian-crafted treatments help restore balance and inner calm. Enjoy signature massages with wild plant oils, anti-aging rituals, and tension-releasing therapies.
Wander the cobbled lanes of Orta San Giulio to discover Piazza Motta and the 15th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta. Visit the Sacro Monte di Orta for chapels and sweeping lake views, then take a boat to Isola San Giulio to explore its Romanesque basilica and peaceful promenade.
