Allow our local guide to open the doors of Villa Carlotta, one of the most beautiful villas of Lake Como.
The villa was built at the end of the XVII century by the Milanese marquis Giorgio Clerici in a natural basin between lake and mountains, facing the Alps and the peninsula of Bellagio. It then became a temple of XIX century art with works of Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez such as "Palamedes", "Eros and Psyche", "Terpsychore", "The last kiss of Romeo and Juliet".
If you think you have seen enough of beauty, you clearly haven't taken a stroll around the villa’s gardens; extensively surrounding the villa, these gardens are a blissful botanical serenity made of lovely pathways and floral lanes.
