VILLA MERIGGIO: A HAVEN OF ART AND CULTURE Villa Meriggio is a historic residence with timeless charm, built in 1917 during a time filled with contradictions. This magnificent historic dwelling was renamed "Villa Meriggio". The name refers to the warmest hours of the day, when the sun is high in the sky. For Greeks and Romans, these hours were considered particularly favorable for a theophany, or a "divine manifestation".
Location and Spaces The villa's horizon opens onto the Mincio river valley, the "valley of the gods" according to a possible etymology of the name Valeggio; and the protagonist of the landscape is the Visconti Bridge, which extends from west to east near Borghetto sul Mincio. The typical elements of Art Nouveau architecture are evident, such as the stucco decorations depicting lion heads, or the rams on the capitals of the colonnade. Symbols also recur in the historic fountains that could be traced back to the zodiac signs of the first owners, as was the fashion of the time. The restorations that have followed over time have maintained the original splendor and spirit, reflecting a timeless elegance that gives guests a unique and unforgettable experience, marked by beauty and culture. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of Art Nouveau combined with modern interior design; each room with its details is surprising and evocative. The vast external park and terraced spaces offer guests the possibility to enjoy the Villa also during the summer period, enjoy special sunsets and organize delightful buffets, moments of leisure or spectacular shows. Today the Villa is a place that hosts events of excellence with the intent to give a different meaning to the time of those seeking wonder and inspiration.
