Villa Carlotta, Art museum and botanical garden in Tremezzo, Italy
Villa Carlotta presents three floors of exhibition spaces with sculptures, paintings, and artworks from the 18th and 19th centuries on Lake Como's western shore.
Built in 1690 by Giorgio Clerici, the villa changed ownership in 1843 when Princess Marianna purchased it and named it after her daughter Charlotte.
The museum displays works by sculptors Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen, along with paintings by Francesco Hayez and furniture from previous noble families.
The villa opens from March to November, with extended hours during summer months and includes wheelchair accessible paths throughout the gardens and exhibition spaces.
The botanical garden extends across 20 acres featuring 25 bamboo species, citrus tunnels, and ancient camellias that bloom during different seasons.
