Casa Fantini - Lake Time

It is extremely rare to find a property that exceeds expectations across every category but Casa Fantini has achieved this with style and elegance. This small, luxurious hotel nestled on the shores of Lake Orta in the beautiful town of Pella offers fabulously appointed lake front rooms. Our meals were elegantly presented and fantastically delicious. And the service levels, particularly from Nunzio, were understated and flawless. An incredible and memorable experience.

Casa Fantini is an exceptional hotel. The setting is beautiful, the grounds are serene and peaceful, the staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We have traveled the world and have not had such a nice experience in quite some time. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, you will not find a nicer place.

A beautiful small hotel on the lake in Pella. Steam room in the room was wonderful. The hotel staff so friendly and helpful and a special shout out to Nuncio who was fantastic. The pool and pool area are lovely. Such a pretty village with other restaurants to visit and lots of walks and boat trips.

Casa Fantini is a rare gem. My stay was beyond expectations in all ways.

Cannot say enough! Perfect getaway 45 minutes from Milan (MXP) airport. Family owners by the high end Fantini bathroom fixtures company, this small boutique is so elegant and the service is highly proactive and responsive. Very contemporary with great bathrooms and views of lake orta. A great retreat for couples. We had wonderful, best ever breakfasts, and also a great dinner at restaurant and room service. This place is the perfect 2-3 night getaway from Milan. We will be back!

We discovered this hidden gem in 2023 while visiting Lake Orta. The hotel is set back from the lake front on a pedestrian only roadway. It is hard to discern with its luscious greenery and architecture that blends naturally with the setting. It is quiet, private and secure with a locked gate. There are two boat docks within steps of the hotel that can ferry you to the numerous places on the lake including the famous Basilica de San Giulio and bustling and charming Orta village ( a must visit, but full of tourists). All of the other 5 star reviews of this Boutique hotel are 'spot on': outstanding and friendly staff, chef of the hotel preparing meals only for hotel guests, "Happy Hour" every evening with wine and hor-d'ourves' in the wonderful and comfortable lounging area. The breakfast spread for us (no buffet here) was setup and served like for royalty (see photo) and was possibly the best of our 6 weeks in Europe at 5 star hotels. We were also given a private tour of the adjacent Fantini faucet factory product display area which is quite a treat. We reserved well in advance the single top floor large suite for three nights and were glad to pay the small premium. It is extremely spacious, with a huge closet for our luggage and seems more like a small apartment rather than a hotel room. I am a lap swimmer and discovered the beautiful pool setting with the natural stone wall had a 'swim against' feature which I had never used before. Water was heated (during our stay outside temps were only in the upper 60's) and it worked perfectly for my dozen of typical laps! The hotel offers a private and locked car park just 2 blocks away, but should probably be reserved in advance. When in the area, we would definitely return to have this wonderful experience again.
