It was early morning when I left my place in Varenna to explore and my last day at Lake Como. Before leaving I was zooming around on Google Maps to see what might be of interest in Varenna and came across the Villa Monastero, a Villa and botanical garden. It’s only €10 to see both and a little less for just the gardens. It’s another magical place! I arrived when they opened and had the Villa to myself for a while!
The views were stunning!
The inside was interesting also…
p.s. If you’ve just began reading…I planned an 11 week, 5 European country, 21 accommodations solo trip from April – June of 2022. Photos were taken with my LG Velvet Android phone.
Stunning indeed! I’m curious about those steps leading down into the water. Here in the U.S. they’d either be destroyed or barricaded. In Italy it seems people don’t need to be protected from themselves.
