Verbania and the Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto

• Discover this beautiful garden as you walk with your Verbania tour guide for about 2 hours. The gardens are landscaped in what is essentially the English style. However, there is no lack of Italian features like statues, fountains, ponds, terraces, and waterfalls - in short, all the ornamental elements that add some extra magic to this earthly paradise.

• Focus on particular botanical species and get a chance to learn about them.

Know before you go

• As you will walk for 2 hours, please wear comfortable shoes.

• There are always flowers in bloom from spring to autumn, with "special events" for certain species that are particularly spectacular in their season: tulip week is in April, and dahlias are at their best between July and October.

• The result of a labour of love on the part of the Scottish Captain McEacharn in 1931, the myriad of colours and scents the marvellously landscaped garden offers continues to enchant visitors from March to October.
