The Villa started as an ancient Cistercian woman’s monastery, which was built in the 12th century. The transformation in 1569 started with the Mornico family from Valassina, who owned the property for more than three centuries.

The peaceful former fishing town of Varenna is located on the eastern shore of Lake Como, Italy. You can walk the charming little streets, alleys and stairways leading to the interior of the village.
