PRESENTATION
Villa
Monastero, ancient monastery and patrician abode, is today an international
Congress Centre that offers corporate bodies, associations and institutes
the possibility of holding conferences, seminars, courses and workshops
in extremely suggestive surroundings.
Villa Monastero is one of the most interesting
examples of an eclectic style residence on Lake Como; here the interventions
from the end of XIX and the beginning of XX century have added functional
and decorative elements without damaging the traces of the building's
history.
The enchantment of the gardens, which
extend up to Fiumelatte, and the peace and quiet of the place makes
the Villa an ideal environment for high level cultural and scientific
meetings. Internationally known literates, historians, artists, scientists,
even Nobel Prize winners, have honoured Villa Monastero since 1953 when
this prestigious abode became a Congress Centre for high level studies.
The Villa is located in Varenna, a picturesque
medieval village, rich in artistic monuments on the east coast of Lake
Como, and a tourist destination traditionally appreciated also for its
stupendous nature and landscape.
