Villa Monastero allows you to enter and freely stroll through its marvelous botanical garden: a succession of terraces that gently slope down towards the lake, featuring an incredible variety of exotic plants, statues, and fountains. It's a riot of colors and scents. The villa itself, an ancient 12th-century Cistercian women's monastery transformed into a patrician residence in the 17th century, now houses a museum preserving period furnishings and objects, and a conference center known for its prestigious scientific conferences that attract scholars from all over the world.
