"Situated on the lakefront in the attractive town of Pella, this modern and welcoming restaurant occupies an old building which has been restored and furnished with a stylish and harmonious decor. Offering simpler options at lunchtime, the restaurant serves traditional cuisine reinterpreted and presented with a contemporary flavour. A lounge, garden, swimming pool and 11 guestrooms add to the exclusive appeal." - Michelin Inspector

"Though certainly less famous than lakes like Como and Maggiore, Piedmont’s Lake Orta is no slouch in the scenery department, thanks in part to the impossibly picturesque San Giulio Island, whose Benedictine monastery lends the lake a certain aura of the supernatural. On a promontory facing the island, on the lake’s western shore, is the decidedly contemporary Casa Fantini, a boutique hotel that demonstrates the typically Italian ease with which modern design complements the remnants of history and the grandeur of nature." - Tablet Hotels
We stayed at this hotel for one night during a business trip, and it was an amazing experience!
Very good location. Amazing view and beautiful surroundings.
The room was very comfortable and clean . The bed, shower, and all the amenities were excellent.
Everything was well maintained and made us feel right at home. The food served at the hotel was also delicious. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

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.

Highly recommended for staff, comfort, decor and breakfast! It felt like a home from home, lovely welcoming service and a sophisticated ambience without pretension. Breakfast was a highlight. The modernity of Casa Fantini feels incongruous in such a quaint area but walking through the gates is a sanctuary. It’s worth booking the premium rooms on the top for just for the incredible view !|Location quiet and serene (except for during the Pirate Festival in town) . Pella has fewer amenities than Orta but the other is easily reached by boat (watch out for no ferries in the evenings) and there are a few nice restaurants on the Pella side & of course the famous ice cream shop next door. |Thanks for a fabulous stay: 6 nights with adult kids.

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.

A hidden gem on Lake Orta! This boutique hotel offers breathtaking views, exceptional service, and outstanding food. We stayed for three nights and were truly impressed by the warm, attentive staff who made us feel at home. Nestled in a lush garden, the hotel is a peaceful oasis—serene, beautiful, and the perfect place to unwind.

We had the absolute best time staying at Casa Fantini in May 2025. Everything was perfect: from the check-in (with wallet parking), the room (delicate design, lake view, very comfortable bed, built into the shower hamman/sauna), the lush garden with peaceful swimming pool to the restaurant. Our highlights were the breakfast (amazing both in terms of quality and quantity!) and the service (the entire staff is incredibly professional and helpful. Kudos to the lady who brought me a hot water bottle and tea for my periods cramps!). The hotel is pet friendly: our dog had a bed, bowls and welcome snacks.
We loved this place and will definitely come back! 🩵
