We too love the Villa Crespi, not creepy for us but splendid and so great to reach Malpensa. ← The restaurant is organised as a series of opulent wooden floored rooms The decor is rather over the top and gaudy but it is in keeping with the pseudo Moorish architecture The chef has increasingly gravitated to raw fish on his menu which does not change very often. If you are there as a couple, get a table in the cloistered area at the rear of the hotel. The veal in honey and chilli is exquisite as are the desserts I have been there a dozen or so times over the years and it's fabulous and has a restaurant feel rather than a hotel feel. The rooms have parquet floors, are filled with old furniture and have oldish fittings in the bathrooms and 19thc window frames which may account for the reference to creepiness. They aren't and it's a change from anywhere you have stayed before. Professional and friendly staff Finally, whilst the menu doesn't change so often, the chef will change and adapt and cook bespoke dishes It's well worth a visit and that includes the rooms
