Hotel Villa Cipressi, Varenna
Villa Cipressi is a complex of buildings and gardens, rich in history, built mainly between 1400 and 1800. It was the property of the noble Serponti family (1163), of Baron Isimbaldi (at the end of the eighteenth century), of the Andreossi family, who took care of the Park, of Sir Astley and Sir Salton (at the beginning of the twentieth century) and finally of the publisher Accame.
In 1980 it was purchased through a public voluntary subscription by the people and friends of Varenna for a public use. Actually the Villa is managed as a Hotel by the Cofathec Group that has reconstructed it in compliance with the pre-existing architectural lines by reconciling harmoniously antiquities with practicality.
The century-old gardens of Villa Cipressi, with tiered terraces till the lake, contain plants of a rare beauty and of worldwide botanic importance.
