Guided Tour of the Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril – The Garden at Rest: Discover the Magic of Winter in Bellagio

Experience something truly unique with a guided tour of the Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril in Bellagio during their winter season — when the park closes its gates to the public and nature slips into a quiet slumber of muted colors, soft light, and peaceful silence. This exclusive visit takes you “behind the scenes” of the gardens, revealing how life continues even while the landscape rests.

You’ll stroll along tranquil pathways, past still ponds and statues that seem to converse with the calm of the lake. Every corner tells a story of care, balance, and respect for nature, revealing the quiet charm of a garden breathing slowly, waiting for spring to return.

Discover Villa Melzi Gardens in a different light this winter — a unique experience for those who wish to explore not only the beauty of its magnificent landscape, but also the fascinating story of an estate whose history is deeply intertwined with that of its owners.

Let yourself be enchanted by the silent beauty of winter at Villa Melzi — when the garden sleeps, but its heart keeps beating.

This 75-minute walk, which will lead you to the most enchanting corners, among breathtaking views and centuries-old trees, is ideal for learning exciting curiosities and interesting information on the fascinating history of the Villa, its botanical gardens and the numerous illustrious guests who have stayed there in the past.
