Camellias at Villa Carlotta
Villa Carlotta’s gardens in Spring look like an explosion of colours. Camellias have different shades and streaking, but also different forms. Some with a single flower, others with a double flower, some whose flowers resemble peonies while others look like anemones. Today, there are tens of thousands present in the park and some of them have been dedicated to important figures of the Italian Risorgimento like Conte di Cavour, Garibaldi, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Vittorio Emanuele II. Villa Carlotta’s camellias keep alive the soul of this park, which is full of beauty.
Azaleas at Villa Melzi
Villa Melzi is one of the most prestigious villas of Lake Como. It has a spectacular and wide park, where you can enjoy the temperate climate surrounded by trees and flowers. It is during the springtime, that the great gala of colours starts! The flowerings of azaleas and rhododendrons create a feast of shades above the fields and slopes of the park. Walking in the garden you meet rare exotic plants, centuries-old trees, hedges of camellias, azaleas, giant rhododendrons and architectural environment and furnishings.
Wisteria
Whether you are walking along the lakeside in Menaggio or you are strolling along the lovers’ trail in Varenna, the colour and the wonderful smell of the wisteria will be all around you. The wisteria blooming in springtime gives the lake a fabulous look. The dash of colour on the ancient villas and tiny houses makes them look awesome. If you’re keen to see wisteria bloom on Lake Como, take some snaps or just catch a glimpse of the colour and above all, enjoy Italian dolce vita!
