Villa Cipressi in Varenna: cypresses-line, terraces rich of flowers and botanic species in its gardens.

Hotel and conference center

Villa Cipressi is placed in a privileged position, just on Varenna’s point and mirrors into Lake Como and looks at Bellagio.
It is near to Villa Monastero and together represents the worldwide famous Conference Center of  Varenna.

Villa Cipressi is a building complex, built between the 15^th and 19^th century and offers great architectural elements of late Renaissance and fine Neoclassical features.
As the other villas on Lake Como, Villa Cipressi has an extraordinary garden and as per its name you can walk in cypresses-line, along the terraces with lots of Mediterranean and exotic flowers and plants, who grow well here thanks to a favorable temperate climate.

Villa Cipressi nowadays is a hotel and just its garden is open to public for visits.
