Located on the Lake Orta, in the heart of Piedmont, a 45 minute drive from Milano Malpensa International Airport, an hour from downtown Milan, and 90 minutes from downtown Turin, Villa Crespi offers ample opportunities for day trips, water sports as well as hiking and more gentle relaxing walks.
The area around the Villa is known for its beautiful lake flora: mimosa, camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, wisteria, hydrangea, gardenia and other flowers. The Alpine Winter has its own character, mountains with their snow-covered peaks, clear skies and sunny days make a winter break on the most romantic lake in Italy a good alternative to skiing at Mottarone, 45 minutes away by car, combined with the chance to explore the culinary and gastronomic specialties of a region that historically has given birth to chefs and equipment used in professional kitchens around the world.
In Omegna, a town on the banks of the lake, ten minutes from the hotel and on the way to Stresa, you will find the factory outlets of household names in Italian design, some with their own museums. Stresa , the international resort on Lake Maggiore, is 45 minutes away by car. A relaxing drive along the famous Lake Maggiore leads to the nearby Switzerland. And last but not least, eight golf courses are easily reached from Orta, two of them among the best in Italy, just an hour's drive away.
The highways linking the city with the lake and the coast: the A8 (Milano-Laghi), the A26 towards Genova and the Liguria Riviera and the A4 (Milano-Torino).
