Villa Melzi D'Eryl

Francesco Melzi D'eryl had the villa built between 1808 and 1815 on a project by Architect G. Albertalli from Milan. The structure of the building is in perfect neo-classic style, of rectangular plan, with facades horizontally discontinued by level bands, and scanned by three rows of windows put in rhythmical sequence. The Oratory is in the same style of the villa with a dome supported by pillars. The gardens were projected and built taking into careful consideration the environment. It is said that the villa was built to compete with Count Sommariva, who owned the nowadays-called villa Carlotta. More information on the villa are available at the entrance. The gardens are open form 9.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. How to reach Bellagio: form Tremezzina by boat or by car-ferry from Cadenabbia
