    What a stunning garden to visit! We have visited a lot of gardens, but this is one of the best. We arrived by ferry from Stresa and the garden entrance is directly above the ferry terminal. Whilst we visited the dahlias were in bloom, all 300 of them! The greenhouse has Amazonian water lilies which were in flower. Behind the pond is a vertical wall of plants of all kinds. Further into the gardens there is a formal pond area which is planted with colourful bedding plants. There is also a cactus house and relaxation garden. The cafe is situated on the way in and has a good range of drinks and snacks. We spent nearly 3 hours enjoying the plants and lake views. Well worth the entrance fee

    These gardens are a dream! On an area of 16 hectares, laid out in easily accessible terraces, there are countless rare specimens, over 360 different types of daisies, ponds with giant water lilies, water lilies and lotuses and much more. A visit is definitely worth it! Even at the beginning of October! There is a snack bar and toilets. There is also free parking. At the beginning of October there were very few tourists like us here.

    Se si ama camminare, fotografare e soprattutto se si ama la natura questo è il posto. Giardino botanico dove hanno trovato spazio piante di tutti i tipi, forme, dimensioni, colori e bellezza. Un luogo molto difficile da descrivere per le sensazioni che suscita grazie ai profumi, ai colori e ai suoni della natura. Un solo neo, che comunque non inficia la bellezza del posto, la maleducazione di alcuni visitatori.

    Peccato esservi giunti con qualche giorno di ritardo, avremmo trovato molti più tulipani sarà una buona scusa per tornarci. Villa ben tenuta e curata. Una miriade di colori dal verde dei prati e alberi ai colori delle piante da fiori.
