Villa Varenna is one of the most
interesting examples of an eclectic style residence on Lake
Como; here the interventions from the end of XIX and the
beginning of XX century have added functional and decorative
elements without damaging the traces of the building's
history. The enchantment of the gardens, which extend up to
Fiumelatte, and the peace and quiet of the place makes the
Villa an ideal environment for cultural and relax. The Villa
is located in Varenna, a picturesque medieval village, rich
in artistic monuments on the east coast of Lake Como, and a
tourist destination traditionally appreciated also for its
stupendous nature and landscape. Villa Varenna, ancient
monastery and patrician abode, is today an international
Congress Centre that offers corporate bodies, associations
and institutes the possibility of holding conferences,
seminars, courses and workshops in extremely suggestive
surroundings. Situated on a promontory which lies along the
eastern side of Lake Como from Varenna to Fiumelatte, the
garden is the result of age-long work which transformed the
steep slopes into a scenic design. |
