Villa Monastero park, located in Varenna on the shores of Lake Como, is a charming spot that offers a mix of history and natural beauty. Originally a Cistercian convent dating back to the 12th century, the villa now houses a museum, botanical garden, and convention center. With its eclectic architecture, period furniture, and stunning views of the lake, the park is a perfect place to wander around, soak up the atmosphere, and maybe even catch a glimpse of some exotic plants. It's a great spot for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful moment by the water's edge.
