Landscape and Lakes Tapestries

Take the opportunity to view these beautiful and stunning tapestries of scenes and views found only around the area of the Lake of Como, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful corners of the world. These scenes have been reproduced from a late 18th century tapestry scene at Lake Como in northern Italy. The terrace and gardens are those of the Villa d’Este Estate: peaceful gardens that can still be visited today. This small and very charming village on the western shore of Lake Como has come to share the fame of Villa d'Este. Since the 1500's, the estate served as a royal residence before it was transformed in 1873 into one of Europe’s most fabulous and luxurious hotels.
