Close your eyes and dream. imagine a moor palace
With spires, an
Internal architecture which reflects the stately
Home of an emirate - elegant damask engravings,
Horseshoe arches,affrescoed ceilings in turquoise
Resembling the mosques of the magic orient. gazing
At this fascinating palace, we perceive neither
Sand dunes nor the aromas and colors of an oriental
Bazaar but another magical setting appears clearly
Through the larch woods, that of lake orta. we are
In the heart of piemont, not far from malpensa,
Milan s international airport, and this
Fairytale-like villa which seems to have been
Transported.
As if by magic from the scenes of the arabian
Knights, is in fact
The realization of dream by someone who loved the
Irresistible
Beauty of the orient. his name was cristoforo
Benigno crespi from
Miran. he became a successful trader in cotton with
The aid of a
Broker friend, buying and selling in persia.
Charmed by bagdad in
1879, he built a moor villa on land near the lake
Where he had
Spent his childhood. during the thirties villa
Crespi was sold to
The marquis fracassi of torre rossano where it
Became a sojour for poets and industrialists
Alike, princesses and monarchs
Umberto di savoia were frequent visitors there.
At the end of the eighties, after becoming a place
Of spiritual
Worship for a few years, it was transformed by its
Present owner
Into an exclusive four-star hotel where nature,
Art, and history
Have become entwined to leave its guest with
Unforgettable
Memories. 120 years after its creation villa
Crespi, after a
Period of restyling, re-opens under management of
The primatesta
Family. cinzia primatesta personally runs the hotel
Together with
Her highly qualified staff, who all have experience
In working in
First class hotels.
Ornately carved in the islamic style, Villa Crespi is some sort of Knights' palace. the villa has opened its doors as an exclusive hotel, restoring the rich interior colours and furnishing the luxurious bedrooms with four-poster beds and 19th-century paintings. For all this exoticism, the acclaimed cuisine is thoroughly Mediterranean and the wine list includes the best from Italy and France.
