Relais & Chateaux Villa Crespi

Smiley, friendly welcome, amazing service Food was exceptional!

Only got chocolate the first night

Pros: - very glam - amazing building and beautiful decor, feels like a palace - lovely terrace for sitting outside on a nice day with a drink - super comfortable bed and large rooms - the restaurant food was as good as fine dining gets - staff were lovely, both at restaurant and reception - the head waiter at the restaurant was very attentive and professional Cons: - no direct lake access from grounds - 20minute walk up/down hill, from main piazza in the town, difficult to get home at night after dinner unless you have a car or are okay with walking back all that way in the dark - the town streets are extremely narrow and minimal parking, so would require a confident driver to navigate this situation even with a car - limited room service options/times for “lazy” meal if can’t be bothered walking into town - restaurant closed on Mon/tues - no pool for those wanting to relax by the lake - shower was on the smaller side and low pressure and sometimes had only warm water - room temperature was set by the building so unable to regulate this if too warm/cold. I was warm so would open the large windows to let the room cool down during the day.

Very personable staff, beautiful property and gorgeous room with balcony - excellent

Villa Crespi è unica, un palazzo in stile moresco con camere sontuose e letto al baldacchino. Il ristorante è all'altezza della fama, un'esperienza sensoriale.

A joy to celebrate my husband's special birthday here. We enjoyed 3 nights of wonderful care and help from a brilliant, attentive reception team, especially Sara and Richard. Nikolai was so kind driving us to places to eat in the village in the evening. A special shout out for the young barman, whose name I didnt get, whose English is exceptional. The hotel is ideally placed for the village, the island and the Unesco Sacro Monte. The Couples Symposium in the Wellness Suite was a real treat. The two therapists were friendly and professional and gave us a fabulous treatment. The exceptional meal in the restaurant was the best treat of all, innovative, delicious.a wonderful experience, alongside a very good wine flight and excellent service.

Très bon séjour dans cette magnifique bâtisse. Le service de transport vers la petite ville qui est sinon à 20 mn à pied est très agréable. Nous avons par ailleurs particulièrement apprécié le partenariat avec aqua by the lake pour pouvoir se baigner dans la piscine et dans le lac ! Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant et gentil
