Villa Melzi Gardens

The stunning gardens of this 19th-century neoclassical summer residence serve as the renowned emblem of Bellagio village. While the villa itself is private and not open to visitors, you can delight in a captivating stroll through an array of exotic and rare plants interspersed with ancient trees, expansive camellia hedges, and a variety of other flora. A long avenue lined with plane trees greets you at the boat dock, while gardens brimming with azaleas and majestic rhododendrons encircle the villa, creating intimate spaces like the concealed grotto or the Japanese-style artificial pond. The highlight of these enchanting gardens is an Arabesque temple – a petite pavilion adorned in shades of white and blue, sequestered with a stunning view of the lake. From this exceptional vantage point, one can profess love or partake in a symbolic yet meaningful wedding ceremony.
