Villa Crespi is a 19th-century Moorish revival-style rural palace located in Orta, and is now a luxury hotel and restaurant managed by chef and restaurateur Antonino Cannavacciuolo. The villa used to be Crespi's family holiday home. Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, the owner who commissioned this wonderful mansion, wanted the villa to remind him of the buildings he saw during his working trips to the Middle East.
