We stopped at Villa Carlotta & were able to find parking along the street that involved a lovely walk along the lake to get to the Villa’s entrance. We bought tickets with no wait & took a lift to the upper level as I cannot do a lot of steps. The walk through the gardens is many shady with only a few views of the lake. There were not a lot flowers & this was June. There are benches throughout enabling a rest. The Villa museum itself was interesting due to items displayed in the rooms but not impressive architecture when compared to Isola Bella we toured the day before. There was no extra charge to go into the Villa museum. It was a pleasant way to spend a pretty morning. We ate a lovely lunch on the terrace overlooking the lake at the nearby Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

The true highlight for me was the botanical gardens and the terraced layout offering breathtaking views of the lake. While the villa itself is a fine example of 17th-century architecture, it was the gardens that truly captured my heart. The gardens are designed in a terraced format, providing stunning panoramic views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. These vistas are nothing short of spectacular, offering ample opportunities for photography and peaceful contemplation. The entrance fee includes both the villa and the gardens but I personally think the gardens alone are worth the price.

What a beautiful place this is. The gardens are glorious but obviously seasonal. The history and the art in the villa are well worth the visit alone but with good weather recommend the garden. My tip is make sure you go down to the bottom floor of the villa to see staff area

More than the villa itself, I enjoyed the gardens. I loved the Japanese area of the gardens. I had a guided tour and it is 100% recommended! The villa is cute but not special. I loved the view from the various windows! I bought tickets in advance but the line wasn’t that long at the entrance.

We were at this villa at the end of May. On a weekday there were not many people. Therefore it was very comfortable. In spring, the villa is all green and has a lot of beautiful and unique plants and flowers. Inside the villa there are antique furniture, cutlery, statues and paintings. Stepping out onto the balcony offers a wonderful view of the lake and mountains. The building is very beautiful. Unfortunately, when we were there, the hydrangeas did not have time to bloom. There's a whole slope there that's sown with them ?. I would definitely come back ???
