Come walking with me around the beautiful gardens of Villa del Balbianello, situated at the very tip of the Dosso di Lavedo, a promontory on the shores of Lake Como.
The Villa, built in the early 18th century, has been managed by FAI (the Italian National Trust) since 1988, donated by its last owner, entrepreneur and explorer Guido Monzino, who wished it to be open to the public.
Villa del Balbianello is probably the most well-known villa of Lake Como, the complex is constituted by the Villa, the Loggia, the Library, the Sala dei Primitivi, the Museo delle spedizioni and the magnificent park: thanks to its terraced gardens, you can walk along its paths, surrounded by statues, wisterias and great plane trees and see its holm oaks, magnolias, cypresses, plus bushes of azaleas and rhododendrons.
Villa Balbianello has been the set for many films, among which the second episode of Star Wars saga (2002) and "Casinò Royale" by Martin Campbell with James Bond.
