Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio (Piedmont) is a Moorish-style residence established in 1879 as the country estate of the Italian cotton industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi.

The building, which can be seen from afar through its miniature tower, is an example of oriental architecture in Italy. His builder, who also had the industrial estate Crespi d'Adda built, is said to have chosen this style as a sign of his attachment to the Orient, especially Baghdad. Especially among Crespi's son Silvio Benigno Crespi (1868-1944), one of Italy's most influential industrial magnates until 1929, and among the successors, the Marchesi Fracassi di Torre Rossano, the villa became the meeting place of the country's aristocratic, industrial and political elite.

Today there is a small luxury hotel in the villa.

Only a few steps away from Lake Orta is the Villa Crespi, a spectacular building from 1879. The arabesque architecture of the villa ensures magical stays. From Villa Crespi you can contemplate a splendid Italy, just 45 minutes from Milan Malpensa: to discover the village of Orta and the island of San Giulio and the Sacro Monte.
