Villa Monastero in Varenna: The Noble Villa on Lake Como

A former convent and patrician residence, Villa Monastero in Varenna is now an internationally renowned Conference Center. The garden is rich with exotic plants featuring statues, small temples, and balustrades. An imposing and regal structure, nestled on the elegant and distinguished shore of Varenna.

Visiting the gardens of Villa Monastero is a journey into the grace of nature; the botanical garden, rich with rare and distinctive species arranged on terraces, is a place where imagination meets reality. There is no corner, flower, or color that does not deserve a photograph. The climate of the central lake allows floral species from around the world to flourish in splendor. The path winding through the park allows visitors to admire all the colors of the garden, which seems to dissolve into the lake... Each season brings its own colors and emotions!

Villa Monastero is also a charming house museum, thanks to all the testimonies left by its owners and their guests.

It is open year-round, with special measures to maintain the natural balance of the garden and the safety of the objects preserved in the house-museum. Finally, it is possible to reach the Villa from the lake by boat, docking at the pier, ideal for spectacular arrivals for weddings on Lake Como.
