The Villa Vigoni complex, set within the remarkable Lake Como landscape, extends over approximately 40 hectares in Loveno di Menaggio. It includes two large 19th-century villas with their historical gardens, a boathouse on the lake, a cottage in the wood and numerous outbuildings.
Most of the centre’s activities take place in Villa Mylius-Vigoni and Villa Garovaglio-Ricci, in beautiful historical rooms and modern conference venues.
A style of architecture and a place generated by a blend of Italian-German tradition, a residence rich in evocative art of yesteryear, a space that becomes a perfect meeting place: all this is Villa Mylius-Vigoni.
Thanks to its architectural features – the loggia and the great windows overlooking the lake – Villa Garovaglio-Ricci is a perfect venue for work spaces such as offices, meeting rooms and studios, such as the Egyptian Room and the Marcolini Room. In the centre is the large Conference Room, designed by the architect Barbara Jakubeit.
Villa Mylius-Vigoni is surrounded by extensive English-style parkland, created from the second half of the 19th century onwards by the architect Giuseppe Balzaretti. This natural landscaped environment possesses a rare beauty: ancient trees, viewpoints and exotic plants merge as one.
From 6 August 2021 all guided tours of Villa Mylius-Vigoni and the park will be suspended.
