Villa Carlotta

MuseumLake ComoAbout 2.5 hours

A lakeside house at Tremezzo with a botanical garden climbing the slope behind it — azaleas and rhododendrons in spring are the reason to time a visit for April or May. Canova sculpture indoors. Directly across the water from Bellagio and easy to combine by ferry.
