Villa Antica Colonia Spa & Wellness

What a special place! We had an incredible stay in Casa Maria. Antica Colonia is beautiful and we were made to feel so welcome, with advice, restaurant bookings and late check-out all sorted for us. Highly recommend, it was the perfect place to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Thanks!

We can only reiterate all the previous reviews. The villa is in a stunning location, luxurious and so comfortable with amazing attention to detail on the beautiful decor AND everything that you need as a guest. Monica is an amazing host, nothing is too much trouble and it was a real pleasure to get to know her. The information you receive beforehand makes finding and parking very straightforward. We stayed in Casa Giuseppe with its wonderful terrace with views over the lake. First two days we explored, walking to nearby Pettenasco and surrounding areas, local restaurants, we used the private spa, swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi. All fantastic. But our last couple of days we couldn’t tear ourselves away from watching the lake through the day and evening, complete relaxation. The generous breakfast basket if filled with delicious quality produce, we discovered the shop cusio formaggi which provides some of the produce and bought fresh pasta to cook at the appartment which was perfectly equipped to rustle up great romantic meals for two! A massage from Denise was absolutely the best. And a big thank you also to Signora Ionela for looking after us so wonderfully and the amazing aperitivo You certainly feel the love that has gone in to the Villa, the history of the family, a perfect place for rest and relaxation, good for the soul. I hope we will get back again.

Probably the best place to stay at Lago d'Orta with only a handful rooms. Very calm located in Crabbia, close to Pettenasco. Very nice location with highstandard personal Service by Monica & Valentina. Especially the Breakfast Service in a Basket is remarkable.

We stayed at Villa Antica Colonia in September 2025. We had such a wonderful time!! The villa is very peaceful and relaxing. The views from our balcony overlooking the lake were stunning! Especially at sunset. The breakfast is very generous and contained fresh local products. Cocktails by the hot tub or by the pool with a lovely selection of antipasti is not to be missed either! Nice restaurants in Pettenasco just a short walk from the villa. 100% recommended.

Absolutely beautiful apartment. Monica is a delight and nothing too much trouble. Views over the lake are amazing. Terrace is huge and very private. Loved the pool which is so well designed and very peaceful. The breakfast basket was filled with high quality food and beautifully presented. Short walk to a Taverna which Monica recommended and the food was excellent. Parking a little tricky at the allocated spaces for the villa but fine and although not a walk into the centre we found parking there quite easy. Will definitely return.

What a wonderful stay at Villa Antica! Between the views, Monica, and the spa we could not have asked for a better location on Lake Orta. This is the place to spend your time in Piedmont. The breakfast was superb! Plus, it's only an hour's drive to the Milan airport! Many thanks, we will be back!

if you are planning to visit Lake Orta you must stay here. Monica & her team provide an amazing experience with as much help as you need. We were able to book on of the penthouse flats with amazing views and the space itself was roomy and comfortable (their website has the best pictures of the space). Amazing restaurant recommendations: the first was within walking distance and the next we were able to reserve a private van to take us there. We also did the private spa experience which I highly recommend. Just a lovely place and worth the price in every way.

Our stay at Villa Antica Colonia Spa in the Giuseppe Apartment was perfect! The apartment is beautiful, with breathtaking views, and Monica's warm hospitality made it unforgettable. Highly recommend this place! A special thank you to Monica, who went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable.

Peace and relaxation in a perfect atmosphere. Monica and her team took excellent care of us. All the flats have a marvellous view of Lago d'Orta. A private beach is also easily accessible via a direct stairway down to the lake. The high-quality and generous breakfast is placed in a basket in front of the flat at the desired time. Monica knows a lot about the historic building. A holiday at its best
