GET TO VILLA DEL BALBANIELLO BY PRIVATE BOAT

Built at the behest of Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini late in the eighteenth century,  Villa del Balbianello stands at the end of  Dosso di Avedo in one of the most intriguing positions of the lake.

Due to its charm, it is now used as a stage design in numerous film productions.

Access to the Villa is on foot from Lenno with an uphill stretch, which can be covered in about 25 minutes, or by lake with public ferry or private boat.

WHAT TO SEE ONCE IN VILLA BALBANIELLO BY BOAT

MUST-SEE TREASURES

Villa del Balbaniello is a mirror that reflects the personality of those who built and loved it. Commissioned by cardinal Durini, a late eighteenth-century scholar and patron, it went through the centuries until it landed in the hands of Guido Monzino, a twentieth century entrepreneur, collector and traveller. Walking through the corridors that connect the rooms of the mansion is like taking a journey through history among works of art and relics of all kinds.

In particular, it was Guido Monzino, its last owner, who transformed this wonderful place into a museum. As a matter of fact, a passionate explorer, during his travels around the world Monzino brought home precious relics, which are still exhibited in the villa today. Just to name a few: relics of primitive art (with African, pre-Columbian, Egyptian, Arcadian and Inuit specimens), maps, nineteenth-century prints with landscapes of Lake Como, books, carpets and rare eighteenth-century glass paintings.

On Monzino's death, by his will, the villa and its collections were donated to FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano, i.e. The  National Trust for Italy), which still preserves it today.
