I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel that truly captivated me with its delightful ambience. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt an instant sense of home. The cozy and inviting atmosphere enveloped me, making my stay incredibly comfortable. The highlight of my mornings was the amazing breakfast spread. The food was not only fresh but also unbelievably tasty, satisfying my taste buds to the fullest. To my surprise, the hotel also offered a fantastic spa experience in the bathroom, allowing me to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day. Overall, this hotel surpassed all my expectations and left me with fond memories.

We went to Casa Fantini for dinner and it was just one of the most SPECTACULAR meals!  Fresh, infused with love and creativity, in an idyllic hotel on the lake, the food is not to be missed!

Pella is gorgeous but having a meal at Casa Fantini is such a treat!!!!!   The service was next level as well.  The staff is multi-lingual and so very thoughtful.

We haven’t stayed here as we have a house on the lake but to given how memorable the food is, I cannot imagine the stay.

Everything about Casa Fantini was amazing and brought us joy. Sometimes, for some reason, staff at nice hotels can be unwelcoming and snooty— this was not the case at Casa Fantini. They were so kind, welcoming, and went the extra mile to help and accommodate in the most professional and kind way possible. The extras provided also set the hotel over the edge. On arrival they offered a coffee or water (and they went out of their way to make me an American latte). When we arrived to the room, they had the most fresh delicious fruit waiting. It was also our honeymoon, so they left us a bottle of sparkling wine. Delicious apertivo + wine were provided as well later in the evening. At night they took down our bed with a good night note, cookies, and samples of non toxic skin care which I loved (I own a skincare and wellness store so i inspected the ingredients and they were non toxic and very effective!). The wait staff in the restaurant and bar were also all so nice. The blonde male waiter with the beard was SO sweet, happy, and helpful. The mixologist made me the most delicious custom cocktail with homemade syrups. The dinner was delightful!! I did the tasting menu with wines to match. The waiter catered it to me. The breakfast is beautiful, delicious, fresh, outstanding.

Now with the design. The design of the hotel is top notch. Modern done right, and really high end. When you walk through the gate your flooded with the smell of gardenias. The pool is delightful. There is a beautiful view right on the lake. The shower is the most amazing thing ever. I think I am convinced to buy one for me house. It is a steam shower, sauna, and light therapy all in one. Again, design is beautiful, as is throughout the whole hotel. Very comfortable bed. Extremely clean.

The location is amazing, you have a private gate so only guests can come in. It is juxtaposed to beautiful old buildings, right on the water and there is a very to the island right in front of the hotel. Also— if you ask the front desk, you get private access to a beautiful beach on the lake that is a lovely 10 minute walk and there are services like delicious cocktails and apertivo. Beautiful views including the island and the mountains.

If I am ever back at Lago di Orta— I will be back at casa Fantini.

We visited Casa Fantini for the second time this year and it again a truly great experience. We were warmly greeted by Simona and it felt like we had not left. The hotel is very elegant with a beautiful green garden and a pool that is long enough for a good swim. Our highlights, as last year, was the impeccable service, the curated breakfast with a la carte elements and the electric boat to spend some time on the lake. We will be back!

Today I took a stroll with friends on Lake Orta and returned again to Casa Fantini for lunch (it’s recommended to make a table reservation as limited places). Everything was amazing from the moment you walk in / the service, food and overall design of the place plus the  setting (privacy) and ambience cannot be beaten. We left Chef Diego
to guide us on this culinary experience and it’s was fantastic. The dessert proposed ‘Saffron muffin’ surprised us all around the table giving us a mixture of emotions. In my opinion it’s one of the best boutique hotels and will surely come back plus recommend to others. ( PS I only posted these photos as the place is worth a visit and let you discover it).
