Created by the Scotsman Neil McEacharn in the 1930's, the botanical patrimony of the gardens of Villa Taranto contains nearly 1, 000 non autochthonous plants and almost 20, 000 genera and varieties of particular botanical importance. Since 1952 the gardens have been open to the public, from April to October. Garden lovers come to Villa Taranto from Australia, North and South America and Europe, drawn by its interesting botanical collections, perfect organization and exquisite hospitality. Visiting Villa Taranto with me is discovering the rarities of the garden. I have learnt a lot of this place, after many years of guiding in the gardens of Lake Maggiore and the many talks with the gardeners who make the visit possible thanks to their constant work and patience. This tour is possible only during the opening period of Villa Taranto (March 15th - November 1st, 2021 and 2022)
• We'll visit the gardens, walking on very comfortable paths. • We'll see thousands of plants and trees, most from tropical countries and some of them very rare. • In April visitors can enjoy the tulips exposition. From July to October, the exhibit of dahlias. • The walk will last about 2 hours. We can make a shorter visit and see the highlights of the gardens if you don't feel like walking up to the top of the hill. The difference in height is of about 100 mts (300 ft), but the walk up is very smooth and comfortable. • We can stop and sit on some benches, if you want. • There's a café (not open full-time in low season) in the centre of the garden. There is one always open at the entrance/exit of the garden. • The visit is not suggested only if the weather is really bad (heavy rain, strong wind, etc). If this is the case, we'll find a solution together! Notes: - Visitors are not allowed to enter the Villa. - I can create a customized tour in case you have special requests or if you are more than 10.
