Opening Villa Cipressi - Season 2020

Villa Cipressi

Villa Cipressi, a prestigious complex of ancient buildings and splendid gardens, whose origins date back to the 12th century, stands on the eastern shore of Lake Como in Varenna. Thanks to the favourable climatic conditions, the garden is home to plants unusual for northern Italy, such as the American agave, of which we find specimens dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, as well as a splendid collection of Agavaceae and other Mediterranean botanical varieties such as arbutus, myrtle, pittosporum, tamarisk, palms in various species, and sapling oleanders. Special mention should be made of the cypresses, thin and very elegant, such as the rare specimens of the Californian Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey cypress), which are found here.

A signposted route guides visitors through flowering borders that follow one another in the seasons: after the camellias and azaleas bloom in summer gardenias, hydrangeas and rose bushes and the flowerbeds are populated with annual blooms.
