The villa was designed in 1808 by Giocondo Albertolli, for Francesco Melzi d'Eril, on a promontory. It fronts on Lake Como and is surrounded by a gardenesque planting, including Japanese maples, American redwoods, rhododendrons and azaleas. The owner was a friend of Napoleon and the garden has a statue of the goddess Pacht from his Egyptian campaign.

A must-visit garden... big park along the lake, neatly taken care of, must be really something in the spring when azalees bloom. I visited in August and it was less colourful.

Just perfect a place to study the very idea landscape gardens represent: carefully arranged shrubs and herbs around venerable trees, emphasizing their character, shapes, colours; different light situations and trails that create gorgeous views across the classic landscape of Lago di Como. Every single item desires to be appreciated in tranquillity!
