Villa Taranto
Villa Taranto Review
Quaint Verbania is across the Gulf of Pallanza from its touristy neighbor Stresa. It is known for the Villa Taranto, which has magnificent botanical gardens. The villa was acquired in 1931 by Scottish captain Neil McEachern, who expanded the gardens considerably, adding terraces, waterfalls, more than 3,000 plant species from all over the world, and broad meadows sloping gently to the lake. In 1938 McEachern donated the entire complex to the Italian people.
