It’s not a surprise that Varenna, the magical village on the lake, hosts one of the most
enchanting Lake Como Villas: Villa Monastero. Beautiful gardens, refined
architecture, panoramic views of the lake… Don't let this opportunity pass you by!

attractiveness and Villa Monastero is one of them! Read this article to have more information about
this little paradise!

First, we can admire such a magnificent Villa especially thanks to the XIX century and XX century
owners: they started to renovate the building and the botanical garden. As a meeting point for several
intellectuals, it started to become a must-see destination. Yes, it's like when you read in history
books about the famous Grand tour… Villa Monastero couldn't be skipped!

Okay, I told you something about the past, but what about today? Why is it one of the best Lake
Como Villas? Well… The lake, the position, the uncontaminated nature, the romanticism… Don’t
you think it’s the right place for a romantic getaway, for an intimate family trip or even for a

Once at the Villa, the presence of rare botanical species will impress you: you’ll be surrounded by
irresistible smells and colors! From the top of the garden, you’ll have a clear view of everything
and, as you trek down to the lake, I suggest you close your eyes! This way, you’ll suddenly feel like

The inner part of the Villa will let you turn back in time! You’ll be delighted by almost four
centuries of history, a history rich of changes, refinement and elegance. But I don’t want to reveal
