  I did not go inside the Villa, but stopped there as I took a walk around the grounds and look at the beautiful view! The front of the building (facing the lake) is pristine, with some very nice but very basic landscaping and marvelous fountain.

  This Villa is now used as an Art Gallery. The exhibit was Ritratti di Citta (Urban Scenery) - so of the exhibits were great - other not to my liking

  Would have liked to look around, but thought admission to the exhibition should have been free. Gardens were lovely.

  Lovely villa with italian garden and a beautiful newly restaurated fountain.It worths the visit even if the weather is bad.Inside, they organize beautiful exhibitions , so you can admire the villa but also paintings....From there , starts a path and you can walk and visit some others enchanting villas and the silk museum.

  We could only visit and view the villa from outside as it wasn't open but the view close up of the villa itself is fantastic, a so well situated on the lake on the edge of Como itself. It is worth the walk up from the centre of the town along the edge of the lake, hopefully you will have a sunnier day than us, but either way it's a lovely building worth seeing up close and the view over the lake.

  Como has plenty of villa surrounding the lake and. all of them are so peculiar and beautiful. I did not have the pleasure to visit the villa from inside, however the exteriors and the position worth a walk.

  We took the #1 bus because we did not feel like walking that day. You buy the tickets at the Tobacco shop ( the shop with the T outside. We saw the Italian Futurist exhibit and it was fantastic. De Chirico and other Italian masterpieces.

  Had the opportunity to see an exhibit entitled "Ritratti della citta'." It contained art work of cityscapes by Italian artists. Excellent and well worth the money. The walk to Villa Olmo along the west lake's edge is beautiful and offers views of the north lake, the funicular, and Como itself.

  unfortunately we arrived only 1/2 hour before lunch so could only visit the downstairs- which was excellent but would like to have seen more. Gardens were pretty and there was a number of marine life modern sculptures added to the classical ones. definitely worth t he visit and go by the footpath that follows the lakeside to see other villas which aren't open and also possibly a sea plane taking off or landing

  The front of the building (facing the lake) is pristine, with some very nice but very basic landscaping and marvelous fountain. Take a walk round the building to the rear (facing the main road) a very different story, extremely run down. Glass missing from windows, rotten frames. The positive is the small cafe at the entrance, very friendly, clean worth a visit just for that!!!!
