Botanical Garden of Villa Carlotta

👍👍 The best botanical garden that I have ever visited! There are numerous exotic plants and trees and some artificial waterfalls and springs. It is really beautiful and there is a spectacular view to the lake from the top of the hill with the olive trees.

Cantina Follie
Wine bar
👍👍 This place was amazing, great little spot right off the main road. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the wine, cheese and meats were all delicious! Can still see the lake from the terrace but don’t have all the cars flying by you while your enjoying your wine.

Al Prato Restaurant
Italian restaurant

It's better to get here by foot, the roads ~500mt are too narrow and also have tourists walking around. Parking is a bit tough to find on the streets due to the crowd bu...
