Villa Pallavicino, 19th-century neoclassical villa and zoological park in Stresa, Italy
Villa Pallavicino extends across 18 hectares along Lake Maggiore, featuring gardens with centuries-old trees and spaces dedicated to various animal species.
The estate, established in 1855 by Ruggero Bonghi, transformed into its current form when the Pallavicino family acquired and expanded it in 1862.
The property combines Italian garden design with a botanical collection including Lebanon cedars, giant liriodendrons, and extensive rose gardens that bloom in May.
Visitors can interact with animals in the Farm area, where llamas, Tibetan goats, and fallow deer welcome direct contact with guests.
The park serves as a sanctuary for over 50 species of mammals and birds, many rescued by forest rangers from situations preventing their return to nature.
