Casa Fantini / Lake Time is an exclusive 5-star boutique hotel located in the picturesque village of Pella, on the western shore of Lake Orta. The hotel concept, conceived by Daniela Fantini and designed by world-renowned architect Piero Lissoni, is based on the philosophy of the "Lake Time": an invitation to live at the slow pace of the lake, in an atmosphere of deep quiet and contemplation. The structure integrates a historic 19th-century building with a new minimalist and contemporary construction, utilizing natural materials such as oak wood and local stone.
The hotel features only 11 rooms (including 2 Suites) designed as a refined "buen retiro." All accommodations offer a Breathtaking View of Lake Orta and San Giulio Island, with large, floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies or terraces. The distinguishing element is the focus on in-room wellness: every bathroom (designed with Fantini taps) includes a spacious Shower Cabin with Turkish Bath and Chromotherapy function, effectively turning the room into a private Personal SPA. The furniture is signed by the greatest names in Italian design, such as Living Divani and Cassina.
The heart of the Casa is the Lounge, conceived as an elegant and comfortable living room where guests can dedicate themselves to reading or sipping an aperitif. The property boasts a charming Internal Garden and a splendid heated Outdoor Infinity Pool, clad in natural stone, that visually merges with the lake waters. It is the ideal place to enjoy the sun in complete relaxation, surrounded by minimalist and elegant design.
Casa Fantini's restaurant offers Refined and Traditional Cuisine, with seasonal menus that enhance the local specialties of Piedmont and Italian culinary excellence. Dishes are prepared by the Chef with a focus on simplicity and the quality of the raw materials. The Blu Lago Café, located on the ground floor overlooking the village square, serves as a bar and offers a menu of light dishes and the opportunity to taste the best Piedmontese Wines in a convivial atmosphere.
Casa Fantini offers a discreet and attentive Concierge service. Services include Free Wi-Fi, gourmet à la carte breakfast, and a special focus on local experiences. Upon request, guests can organize Private Boat Trips with sunset aperitifs, water taxi to San Giulio Island or Orta San Giulio, and discovery itineraries in the region (such as excursions and food and wine tastings). Free Parking is also available nearby.
