About Villa del Grumello

Villa del Grumello is at Via per Cernobbio 11, Como. Rebuilt in the late 16th century by the Milanese banker Tommaso d’Adda, it was among the first country villas of Como’s nobility on the lake; Ugo Foscolo, a frequent guest of the Giovio family, has a bust in the garden. Today the villa and its park are a cultural centre with a season of jazz, dance and talks.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Villa del Grumello before you go.
