With the arrival of spring, the desire to treat yourself to a day trip just a short distance from Milan grows. The ideal destination for this weekend is Villa Carlotta, in Tremezzo on Lake Como, where one of Italy's most spectacular botanical gardens is reopening.
Within the historic walls of the villa, a true spectacle of colors is about to come to life: from ancient camellias to majestic azaleas, to rhododendrons reflecting in the waters of the lake. Strolling along these paths means immersing yourself in an evocative landscape, almost a small corner of paradise suspended in time.
Once through the gates of Villa Carlotta, you find yourself immersed in about 8 hectares of parkland where history and nature merge into a single landscape. During these days in March, the true stars are the historic camellias, some planted as far back as the 19th century, which offer spectacular blooms in intense colors.
The most eagerly awaited moment, however, is about to arrive: in a few days, the giant azaleas will give life to the famous "colorful tunnels" that have made the garden famous throughout the world.
