Turistic Guide
The house is located on the road leading to the "Castello di Vezio", which we recommend you visit.
In the same street is the 'Ristorante Portichetto', less than 100 meters away, ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Even closer you can visit the handmade "ceramic workshop" made in Vezio.
At the entrance to the Castle there is another restaurant-café 'Ristoro del Castello', open during the opening hours of the Castle, but it is also possible to book in the evening for a dinner with a splendid view of the lake.
Walking, less than 900 meters on the paths, there is another very characteristic restaurant with a natural waterfall: "Crott Pepott".

Villa Cipressi
Magnificent complex of buildings and gardens, created and built between 1400 and 1800, the Villa today represents a perfect and harmonious combination of ancient and modern functionality, made possible by a careful restoration by the R Collection Hotels Group which has seen the pre-existing architectural lines maintained.
Originally part of the Serponti family's heritage, the structure subsequently passed into the hands of various prestigious personalities, such as Baron Isimbardi, who at the beginning of the nineteenth century set up a laboratory of the Milan Mint.

The Villa, owned by the Province of Lecco, is one of the main historical-landscape-environmental sites of the territory, thanks also to its privileged position.
The complex consists of the villa itself, now transformed into a museum and used as a convention center (known internationally), and the splendid botanical garden that surrounds it, which stretches for almost two kilometers along the shore of the lake.
