Unfurling around a late 19th-century villa on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the Gardens of Villa Taranto (Giardini Botanici Villa Taranto) are one of Italy’s most esteemed botanical gardens. The expansive grounds feature carpets of colorful blooms, bubbling fountains, and paths lined with rare species from around the world. A greenhouse brimming with tropical plants adds to the diverse collection. Visitors can explore these meticulously maintained gardens, enjoying the serene beauty and the rich variety of flora that thrives in this lakeside setting.
