Villa Pallavicino was a private residence in 1855, when it was purchased by Ruggero Bonghi, statesman and writer. In 1862 the ownership was transferred to the noble Genoese Pallavicino family who enlarged the estate, transforming it into a nineteenth-century neoclassical style villa. In 1956 the Pallavicino family decided to transform their marvellous garden into a wildlife museum open to the public. In July 2017, the Pallavicino Park became part of the Borromeo tourist circuit. The trees are the greatest feature of this park: centuries old chestnut trees and liriodendrons, among the oldest in Italy, red beeches, maples, larches, the majestic ginko biloba, tall sequoias and fragrant magnolias. A real attraction is the imposing cedar of Lebanon, in the natural amphitheatre outside the villa.
Beautiful gardens just a short walk (15 minutes approximately) from Stresa centre, with a little (outside eating ) cafe when you reach, probably half way. COVID friendly and safe. Temperature taken on entry. Social distancing throughout the gardens is observed, masks too where appropriate! There are also transport cars, accommodating anyone who can’t, or doesn’t want to, walk quite high up! Coming down is no problem! The farm and free roaming animals are great to see as well. Beautiful views over the Lake too.
