It is a really beautiful and pleasant walk from Bellagio town to the Villa Melzi and gardens. At the grand gate, you pay an entrance fee to enter through a small cave. We walked through the beautiful Japanese gardens, with koi pond, small bridges, lots of Japanese maples. Loved the reflections for photographs. There are small water features with beautiful flowers and greenery. There are large stone pavers that line the walking path, just so quaint.
The path right along the lake has lots of mature trees, perfect for shading in a sunny and hot afternoon. There is a small Arabian-style temple that is open, and it looks out to the lake.
We walked to the small family chapel that is near the bamboo forest, as well as the small museum with items associated with Duke Francesco Melzi. The main large villa building is not open, but we walked up the impressive staircases for a good sweeping view to the English gardens and Lake Como below. Lots of amazing sculptures throughout.
Really enjoyed the few hours we spent here. Definitely worth the effort when in Bellagio.

Villa Melzi D'Eril is a complex consisting of the villa (which cannot be visited inside), the chapel (where the members of the Melzi family rest), the archery (now used as a museum) and the wonderful gardens which extend for 800 meters , embellished with sculptures, centuries-old trees, exotic plants, azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, etc. The garden also houses a kiosk with the busts of the Austrian emperors Ferdinand I and Marianna of Savoy and Duke Lodovico Melzi with his wife Josephine Melzi Barbò, the last owners of the Melzi family before it passed to the Gallarati Scotti family.
The gardens are open to the public from March to October; entrance price 10 euros.

Love this English-style garden right off the lake. It's a great place to take a stroll in the afternoon, with statues, a pond, an Antiquarium, loads of gorgeous plants and trees. A nice, relaxing escape from the crowds.

You should plan to spend a at least an hour here. The gardens are lovely. They contain several beautiful statues, several ponds, a gazebo, and beautiful terraces.
From the garden you have a panoramic views of Lake Como.
The chapel is an interesting few minutes.
The museum contains a great deal of art and artifacts from the Napoleon era.

Absolutely magnificent garden with breath-taking views of Lake Como. Guests can also enjoy a small yet fascinating museum housing a collection of ancient Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian artefacts. The pergola overlooking the lake is truly stunning.

Gorgeous gardens on the banks of lake Como in Bellagio. Walk on the flat front or meander up onto the layered terraces. There is an interesting museum within the garden which gives some history of its owners

After arriving by ferry to Bellagio 10-30, we looked at the surroundings and then came at last to Villa Melzi at 13-40 where we spent only one hour because we purchased tickets for the ferry on 15-00. It was not enough for Villa Melzi because the territory of the park is so huge, and you need to pay attention to each detail that created is here for people's gaze. So if you want to come to Villa Melzi, find yourself about two hours.
The park itself is very beautiful, the ticket price despite it's expensive is deserve to be visited. I truly say that I am happy and think that it won't forgettable moment in my life.

The villa cannot be visited. The garden runs along the lake with a very beautiful view of it. The map provided at the entrance allows you to find your way around and know the varieties of trees, which are very well labeled. Special mention for the Japanese garden whose beauty is breathtaking.

Beautiful and huge garden. I was
Disappointed that the villa was closed. Probably nothing inside it. The main attraction is in its botanical garden. Nice walk, uphill and down hill. You can find a spot with a lake view and eat your lunch there. We enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it...then take the 1/2 hr train tour outside of it to relax from all the walking 😄

Bellagio is primarily a town of restaurants and upscale shops. If you want something otherwise to do then a visit to the Villa Melzi Gardens is a great activity. You cannot go in the Villa as it is private. The gardens are terrific. It will take about one hour to casually stroll through the garden. It follows the shoreline of LC with spectacular views.

Si, ed non e l'unica villa dove possono entrare ns. amici, anche a Varenna, Cernobbio; fortunatamente cresce il numero dei giardini dove e possibile passeggiare la famiglia completa. Guarda grandigiardini c'e la lista di tutto il territorio italiano

Vorrei sapere se i biglietti per la visita si comprano direttamente alla villa perché tra le varie info trovate parla di una biglietteria di Bellagio senza indirizzo preciso, non vorrei arrivare alla villa e scoprire che i biglietti dovevo comprarli altrove.
Grazie in anticipo.

Hours list closing time at 18:30... if we arrive at 18:15 will be be allowed to walk through the gardens? Or do they make all visitors exit at 18:30? Just curious because we have dinner reservations near the gardens at 19:00 and would like to walk through on our way to dinner.

Soggiorneremo a Lenno quindi sponda opposta, è possibile da Lenno prendere il battello e senza auto arrivare ai giardini?

si certo che puoi , vai fino a Cadenabbia e prendi il traghetto ( circa 4km da Lenno ) poi arrivi in centro a Bellagio ed in 5 minuti a piedi di bella passegiata arrivi direttamente ai giardini ! :)
Quando scendi dal traghetto vai sulla tua destra ed arrivi !
Buona visita
ENJOY

Hi, is the garden open in December? I saw some comments posted in late November mentioning that the villa is closed but the garden can be accessed normally.

Hi Jubran5, the gardens are closed until March.
You can visit Bellagio and Varenna that are very romantic in winter.
