Wonderful visit in awesome gardens, with a stunning view on the Como Lake. The villa is closed but with a reasonable entrance fee it is possible to enjoy these wonderful gardens, full of amazing trees, bushes and flowers. Superworth a visit when in Bellagio!

The gardens here are beautiful. It's a short walk from the ferry and worth it. It was very early spring, but the gardens were still beautiful. It was also very quite. Property is well taken care of and there are amazing views of the lake. It's a nice respite from the crowds in Bellagio.

Definitely worth doing while you're in Bellagio as it's only a ten minute stroll to the south of the town. Great views up and down the lake and pleasant rolling gardens. There were a few azaleas and rhodies in bloom while we were there but little else by way of colour. But some nice feature trees all well notated. But perhaps the thing we enjoyed most was the little museum documenting the history of the villa and the gardens so remember to spend a few minutes checking this out.

We visited it in april. It was beautiful. It is by the lake Como, full of different kinds of flowers and trees. The villa was the house of one of Napoleon's assistants but it was closed for renovation. The Japanese part is wonderful. It is easily accessible on foot from Bellagio pier.

Beautiful and the most spectacular gardens we saw on our trip and we saw a few villas - so this was my personal favourite. The landscaping was both gorgeous and unusual too. It was spacious and well worth a visit and was set alongside the lake so you had a fantastic view from there too. A must if you are calling in at Bellagio. There is an 1 hour town walking route you can print off the internet and this Villa's gardens is on the route so you can combine the two.

This is absolutely worth the time to visit and see the gardens and the magnificent views along the lake. The trails alongside the lake and through the gardens are fun to explore - another fun and interesting item to see was the museum which discussed the villa and related history. Overall this is worth seeing

This is absolute paradise! In the village of Bellagio, nestled at the tip of an unnamed peninsula in the middle of Lake Como, the jewel of the entire town is the Melzi Gardens along its western shore. Named after Francesco Melzi d'Eril who built the mansion on the grounds in the early 1800s, the gardens feature countless species of plant life. Some of the trees are towering above you reminding visitors just how old they are and their rich history! The entrance pathway runs right along the lake in the most picturesque setting. This is certainly the best point of interest in Bellagio!

A must do on our day trip to Bellagio from Como. Short walk from the centre although we took a ride in the tourist train and got off when it reached the gardens. €8 each to visit. The Villa itself is not open to the public but the stunning gardens easily make up for this. We entered from the far end of the gardens and made our way through to the other end. We were there for about an hour and have some amazing photos. Highly recommended. Well worth going out of your way for!

There is a small choo-choo train near the Ferry docks that takes you on a tour of Bellagio. It was 5 Euros per person. You can get on and off when you want. We stopped at the Melzi Botanical Garden and really enjoyed our peaceful walk through the gardens. The entry fee is 8 Euros per person. what more can I say? If you like some peace and quiet before continuing on your trip, this is worth it.

Beautiful grounds that frame the lake perfectly. Walking the edge on a flat level was a bonus on a hot day. Was hoping for somewhere to swim, but alas that wasn’t possible. Some great spots for photos. Plenty of lizards to see on the walls. Recommend.
