Villa Taranto
Botanical Garden on Lake Maggiore
Villa Taranto was built in the 1830s by a Scot, Captain Neil McEacharn, and it has one of the richest botanical gardens in the world.
The grandiose park of Villa Taranto connects the two sections of the town, Pallanza and Intra. The gardens have been laid out in English style, although Italian elements are not missing: statues, fountains, ponds, terraces, waterfalls.
Here the visitor can encounter all the elements of the Earth, which lends a magical aura to these sacred grounds. Villa Taranto has one of the most important botanical gardens in the world. Thousands of plant species and flowers of all kinds – eucalyptus, azalea, rhododendron, magnolia, maple, camellia and dahlia – cover an area of 16 hectares, interlaced by four miles of avenues.
