The Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo
The villa was built at the beginning of 1700 for the Marquis Clerici from Milan. Late in the same century, it became property of the Count Sommariva from Lodi, who married Clerici's daughter. In 1856 the Villa was sold to Princess Marianna of Prussia, who gave it as a wedding present to her daughter Carlotta, when she married Prince George of Sachsen. At the end of the 1st World War, the Italian State annexed the villa as booty of war. It was then decided to open both the gardens and the villa to the public under the management of Ente Villa Carlotta, as it is nowadays. Inside the Villa it is possible to admire some paintings by Hayez, Vikar, Lordon and Migliara, some fragments of frescoes by Acquisti and some sculptures by Canova and Thorwaldsen together with some important antique tapestries and furniture. Count Sommariva planned the very first part of the garden in perfect Italian style, with a fountain in its centre, as it is still possible to see in the fore garden at the entrance. At that time the garden was not as wide as nowadays. It was the Prince of Sachsen who enlarged it toward Cadenabbia, planning it after the English style and taking good care of setting the plants in order to emphasize the beauty of the landscape. The American poet Longfellow after visiting Villa Carlotta gardens wrote: I ask myself " is this a dream? Will it all vanish into air? Is there a land of such supreme And perfect beauty anywhere? The gardens as they are today, are famous for the blooming of the azaleas (end of April - beginning of May).
The VIlla Balabianello in Lenno
Built for Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini at the end of the XVIII century, the Villa stands on the tip of a steep promontory overlooking Lake Como, almost opposite Bellagio. Today, the villa has the appearance desired by its last owner, the explorer Guido Monzino, with a rich collection of Chinese, African and pre-Colombian art, precious English and French furniture of the 1700s and the small museum with documents and mementoes of his expeditions. Yet the true masterpiece is the panoramic terraced garden dominated by the elegant "loggia" with three arches rising on the highest point of the promontory.
The Villa Melzi in Bellaggio
Francesco Melzi D'eryl had the villa built between 1808 and 1815 on a project by Architect G. Albertalli from Milan. The structure of the building is in perfect neo-classic style, of rectangular plan, with facades horizontally discontinued by level bands, and scanned by three rows of windows put in rhythmical sequence. The Oratory is in the same style of the villa with a dome supported by pillars. The gardens were projected and built taking into careful consideration the environment. It is said that the villa was built to compete with Count Sommariva, who owned the nowadays-called villa Carlotta. More information on the villa are available at the entrance. The gardens are open form 9.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. How to reach Bellagio: form Tremezzina by boat or by car-ferry from Cadenabbia
