Garden Goals Unlocked

#summervacay Villa Monastero in Varenna? Total dream. Like, if you're into lakeside strolls, historic villas, and gardens that make you feel like royalty, this spot is so for you. Tucked right on the edge of Lake Como in Lombardy, the views here are ridiculous, mountains, water, flowers, all looking way too perfect to be real. The villa itself has that classic old-school Italian elegance, but the real star? The garden path that stretches forever along the lake. We’re talking statues, palm trees, fountains, and flower-covered everything. It’s peaceful, kinda romantic, and 100% Instagram-approved. You can also pop inside the villa, which has a small museum vibe with old rooms and fun vintage details. But honestly, we just wanted to chill outside and soak in the sun and scenery. Villa Monastero isn’t just a quick photo stop, it’s a whole vibe. Bring snacks, take it slow, and pretend you’re a countess or something. Absolute Lake Como magic.
