Milan’s Hidden Gardens

  1. Villa Invernizzi
    Start off your day with an unexpected sight. Head to Villa Invernizzi, one of the many beautiful villas in Milan, and take a stroll around the garden fences to catch a glimpse of the pink flamingos and exotic plants! Enjoy the peculiar sight from outside the fences while taking in the grandeur of this stunning Milanese villa’s architecture and lush garden.
  2. Casa Manzoni
    Why not visit an enchanting garden which inspired one of the writers of the world’s masterpieces? Casa Manzoni, the residence of the Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni, apart from being a prime example of grandiose architecture, also includes a beautiful garden, filled with ornamental basswood and the sweet floral fragrance of magnolia blossoms.
  3. Villa Necchi Campiglio
    Villa Necchi Campiglio is yet another example of a 1930s majestic architectural gem. Located in the heart of the city center and commissioned by the wealthy and respected family Necchi Campiglio family, this villa invites you to wander around the impressive swimming pool, tennis court, as well as its art deco furnishings and interiors.
  4. Villa Reale
    Looking for a little piece of England during your visit to Milan? Head to Villa Reale’s garden, a beautifully designed Milan garden where you can admire ancient ruins. The villa itself, built in 1796, is considered to be a masterpiece of Milanese Neoclassicism, complete with a beautiful lake alongside the stately villa.
  5. Indro Montanelli
    Don’t miss Milan’s botanical garden, Indro Montanelli, one of the city’s historic parks. Within its massive grounds, you will find historic buildings, such as the Natural History Museum and the Planetarium, as well as monuments scattered throughout.
