With this many reviews, i doubt i can say something original about this magical place. We were lucky to see it in June with azealea trees in bloom. Lovely stunning gardens, so pretty to walk around. The hidden little raised trails to blooming hydrangeas... the small museum with antiquities and Roman statues was small but perfect. You should see this place if you can in Bellagio. The price can seem high but it's preserving it's glory for everyone to enjoy for years, and that seems worth it.

Fantastic gardens with a huge range of different trees and flowers. The Villa is directly on the lake which adds to the attractiveness of the whole place

We also toured gardens of villas Serbelloni and Carlotta and Cipressa and Monasterio, but this was our favorite. Easy walk from Bellagio town. Highly photogenic views.
Serbelloni and Carlotta not far behind.

If you arrive by ferry, follow the promenade to the right until it ends, turn left, and then right at the road. The gardens are well manicured and offer different levels. There's a zig-zag path that takes you to the top near the entrance, and other paths up and down throughout. The views out over the lake are breathtaking, with plenty of benches throughout to take in the view and surroundings. Definitely worth a visit while in Bellagio.

Very pretty and peaceful. It was about one or two weeks before the families would be in full bloom but enjoyed the grounds and statues

Great gardens leading to a nice hamlet of Bellagio (Loppia). The walk through this botanical gardens should be even more impressive in spring with all the azaleas in bloom, but yet at the end of the summer was still really a must during a stay in Bellagio.

The grounds were nicely taken care of. The variety of trees and plants weee nice. Very relaxing way to spend the morning walking around. The view to the lake and opposite shoreline was wonderful. My wife and I loved it.

Beautiful gardens, well taken care of. Be sure to follow the map so you see everything. Rather expensive to enter which in my view was not worth it.

Si, ed non e l'unica villa dove possono entrare ns. amici, anche a Varenna, Cernobbio; fortunatamente cresce il numero dei giardini dove e possibile passeggiare la famiglia completa. Guarda grandigiardini c'e la lista di tutto il territorio italiano

Vorrei sapere se i biglietti per la visita si comprano direttamente alla villa perché tra le varie info trovate parla di una biglietteria di Bellagio senza indirizzo preciso, non vorrei arrivare alla villa e scoprire che i biglietti dovevo comprarli altrove.
Grazie in anticipo.

Sì, si comprano ai due ingressi della villa. Attenzione che accettano solo contanti e niente carte!

Hours list closing time at 18:30... if we arrive at 18:15 will be be allowed to walk through the gardens? Or do they make all visitors exit at 18:30? Just curious because we have dinner reservations near the gardens at 19:00 and would like to walk through on our way to dinner.

Soggiorneremo a Lenno quindi sponda opposta, è possibile da Lenno prendere il battello e senza auto arrivare ai giardini?

si certo che puoi , vai fino a Cadenabbia e prendi il traghetto ( circa 4km da Lenno ) poi arrivi in centro a Bellagio ed in 5 minuti a piedi di bella passegiata arrivi direttamente ai giardini ! :)
Quando scendi dal traghetto vai sulla tua destra ed arrivi !
Buona visita
ENJOY

Hi, is the garden open in December? I saw some comments posted in late November mentioning that the villa is closed but the garden can be accessed normally.

Hi Jubran5, the gardens are closed until March.
You can visit Bellagio and Varenna that are very romantic in winter.
Hello! Is it any additional payments for wedding photo session? There will be not a lot of people, only a couple and a photographer.

Hola, querÃa saber si vale la pena hacer un paseo en barco por el Lago de Como, donde conviene alojarse y qué otro lugar me recomendarias visitar en Bellagio o alrededores.
Gracias

Bella domanda. I parcheggi ci sono ma l’afflusso dei turisti a Bellagio è enorme, sopratutto, il sabato e la domenica. Consiglio: arrivando, non dopo le dieci del mattino,poco dopo l’inizio della discesa finale verso Bellagio si trova un bivio. Non proseguire diritto ma svoltare a sinistra e seguire il cartello, marrone, del ristorante Darsena della Lobbia. All’arrivo al ristorante, c’è l’entrata di Villa Melzi, ci sono alcuni posti se sono occupati proseguite verso il centro e dovreste avere la possibilità di una sistemazione. In bocca al lupo.
