Exploring the Villas of Lake Como: A Luxurious Journey Through Medieval Art

Lake Como, a stunning destination known as a "vacation spot for old money," has long been famous. The villas hidden along the lakeside are like dazzling jewels that attract countless visitors. This time, we finally had the opportunity to see them in person and experience the breathtaking charm of medieval art. Traveling from Milan to the villas of Lake Como is very convenient. You can choose to drive and enjoy the scenic views along the way, arriving in about an hour. Of course, if you don't want to drive, you can also take public transportation. From Milan's Lago di Como station, take the PC10 bus line, get off at Lenno station, and then walk to the villa. We chose this route because we returned the car early on our last day in Milan and added this trip at the last minute, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. However, buying tickets to enter the villa can be a challenge. Remember to book your tickets in advance! We didn't book in advance, and when we arrived, we found that tickets for the day were already sold out online. Online tickets usually need to be booked 2-3 weeks in advance, or you can only buy garden tickets. During peak season, even if you have a ticket, you may still need to wait in line to enter. We waited for about an hour because the garden limits the number of visitors to ensure a good experience. But all the waiting was worth it. Once inside the villa, we were immediately captivated by the beautiful view from the Lake Terrace P2. This location was a filming site for Star Wars and is as beautiful as a painting. European couples play and take photos here, as if they are in an oil painting. Standing on the terrace, we enjoyed the distant views of the lake and mountains and the exquisite architecture of the villa, feeling incredibly happy. The villa's terrace is breathtakingly beautiful. Green trees surround the columns, creating a unique landscape. Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the entire Lake Como and feel the tranquility and luxury. The large mushroom tree was an unexpected surprise. It grows along a winding path and looks very cute, adding a fairy-tale touch to the villa. In addition, the various benches in the villa are great photo spots. Whether it's a vintage wooden bench or a modern minimalist metal bench, they all make for great photos. We took a picture, and it was like a beautiful painting. These benches not only provide a place for visitors to rest but also become a beautiful scenery line in the villa. In conclusion, this trip to the villas of Lake Como was very rewarding. We not only experienced the luxurious charm of medieval art but also felt the tranquility and beauty of nature. If you plan to visit the villas of Lake Como, remember to book your tickets in advance, plan your itinerary, and prepare your camera and mood to capture those beautiful moments!
