Villa Carlotta, located in Tremezzo on the western shore of Lake Como, is a magnificent 18th-century villa surrounded by sprawling botanical gardens.

The terraced gardens are a highlight, with azaleas, rhododendrons, and camellias blooming in spring, plus a bamboo grove and a panoramic view of the lake. The villa’s location offers a peaceful retreat from Bellagio’s crowds, easily reached by ferry. The experience combines art, history, and nature, making it a must-see for culture and garden lovers.
