Villa Carlotta is a villa and botanical garden in Tremezzo known for its magnificent gardens and collections of many great sculptors. It is located at the top of a terraced garden, from which there are views of Bellagio and also the mountains surrounding the lake. It consists of three floors (two of which are open to the public). The works of art on display are mainly located on the lower floor, while the upper one, which has an elegant gallery, provides views over the lake. Villa Carlotta was a wedding present. In 1843, Princess Marianna, the wife of Prince Albert of Prussia, bought the property. In 1847, Princess Marianne gave the property to her daughter Charlotte as a wedding present upon her marriage to Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914). The house was re-named Villa Carlotta

The Melzi d'Eril family was a prominent Milanese aristocratic family in the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the most prominent members of the family was Francesco Melzi d'Eril, who served as Vice-President of the Italian Republic under Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also a renowned collector of art and antiquities and commissioned the construction of a magnificent villa in Bellagio on the shores of Lake Como. The Villa is set in English style gardens enriched by monuments, artefacts (amongst which are a Venetian gondola transported to Bellagio expressly for Napoleon, and two precious Egyptian statues), rare exotic plants, ancient trees, hedges of camellias, groves of azaleas and gigantic rhododendrons, the villa, the chapel and the glass house constitute an ensemble in which the neoclassical style reaches one of its highest peaks. The Villa Melzi d'Eril is now a popular tourist destination and the family's legacy for their contributions to the cultural, political, and economic development of Milan and its surrounding regions continues to be celebrated in Milan and throughout Italy.
