I Giardini di Villa Melzi

Villa Melzi is one of the highlights of lake como.

Inside here you can find manicured and beautiful lawns; a chapel at the end of the garden, the villa itself with unique symmetry architecture, and a small anti-aquarium house.

The villa’s beauty will strike at your heart with its beauty.

The villa has an interesting history; especially on its ownership origins till today and is worth a read.

Seen in the attached photos is a map of the villa.

In the chapel are incredibly ornate marble sculptures; seen in the attached video is one example of marble sculpted to look like fabric.

Wedding photographer's perspective: We've shot here a couple of pre weddings sessions and it has always been a beautiful experience. The architecture of this villa is a great frame for elegant pictures and the gardens are simply a paradise on earth. They are super wide so that even if the location is crowded it's still possible to find private spots for photography. The light at sunset here makes everything magical and cinematic. Our couples have always loved exploring this villa. The fee for shooting here is one of the cheapest on the lake, making choosing Villa Melzi an obvious choice 10/10!!

A very spectacular garden with beautiful landscaping. There are 2 interior buildings which are accessible, the museum and the chapel. The house is closed off which is understandable since it's actually somebody's house. I felt very lucky to be able to see the garden itself.

The museum is interesting and takes you through the ownership of the house over time,.and key events that happened there. It also gave me some perspective on the Napoleonic and Austrian periods.

Arriving here is a short pleasant walk along the promenade from the boat stop, very easy to get to. Set aside at least an hour since even though the garden may not look huge, it's actually pretty big. Bring water. Note that to appreciate many hiddem parts of the gardens you will need to walk up steep hills, but you can still enjoy much of it from the main, flat, walkway.

Beautiful garden area and a lot to explore, there’s a small chapel, a lot of nature, places to take photos and access to the lake near the end. It costed around 8 euros per person and its free for under twelve years old. Definitely a must visit for at least 3 hours (most of the time at the lake and walking) for your day trip to Bellagio to visit Lake Como.

Beautiful gardens, niemce walking paths and an amazing view of the lake and mountains.

A must visit in Bellagio, beautiful and grand gardens to stroll around and climb to even more incredible views of the lake. A small museum and a chapel are also included in the ticket to the gardens for 8 euro (cheaper than most other gardens on the lake and in my opinion I saw a lot more here than elsewhere)

You can purchase tickets at the gate for 8 euros each. The gardens are really well maintained and the panoramic views of Lake Como are impressive.

Probably not worth the 8 euro to get in if it was 5 you would get double the custom . very beautiful gardens . can't go in the villa but the antiqarium is small but nice with some beautiful pieces . there is also a Chapel for those interested

Having visited the boboli gardens in Firenze and being a bit underwhelmed I was absolutely blown away by the gardens of villa Melzi. A peaceful retreat from the sometimes over the top bustle of Bellagio. This is truly one of the great gardens of the world. Perfectly manicured around the clock by a team of experts with flora from around the world. It didn’t feel overwhelmingly busy either which was good and we felt the price was justified by the true beauty of it all.

A beautiful garden is located on the shores of Lake Como in the town of Bellagio, there are a lot of shady places. We were in the heat, so we were very cozy and comfortable there.

8€ per adult. Dog friendly :)
The villa is private, this is only for the botanical garden

It was named the most beautiful garden of Italy in 2016 and it deserve the label. It is a must do in Bellagio.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place.

The view is simply stunning.

There is a museum.

Plants have labels to identify their names and origins.

Beautiful gardens, well worth the 8 EUR entrance fee. Short walk from Bellagio shopping area. Highly recommended for an afternoon stroll.

A nice garden with wonderful lake view. Don't go to the green houses, they are sort of empty.

Lovely well maintained gardens with excellent information to aid the experience. I was expecting more flowers, however there was mostly trees. The museum was informative with easily digestible reading. Great views overlooking lake Como.

One of the very few botanical gardens which allow doggos. We had a great time walking the gardens for about an hour and a half. It's about 5 minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

Amazing place to visit. Great landscape architecture

It is a great mansion with excellent view to the Como, taking a walk under the trees and organized trails.

A must see in Bellagio! Gardens are nice and the whole place is a hotspot for beautiful pictures. A good walk with some small hills but nothing dangerous.

One of the most beautiful places and gardens I’ve seen. It’s clean, the staff is constantly working to keep it gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit. I enjoyed very much taking a walk in the garden.
