Why Villa Carlotta matters
Villa Carlotta is known for its terraced gardens, which burst into colour with azaleas and rhododendrons in spring. Inside are sculptures and paintings. In spring, when the azaleas and rhododendrons flower, the whole slope looks like a painted canvas.
Talking points
- Spring bloom is spectacular.
