Garden Alpinia in Alpino

Beautiful place for a short stride with lovely views

The ratings may be a bit unfair as this is an alpine garden and I went in June and the flowers were a bit sparse but the views are nice and the garden is pleasant with tranquil music coming from rock like speakers. To get to you need to take the cable car from Stresa to the first station and then it a 10 minutes walk to the gardens .

The view is amazing. If you are expecting to see a lot of flowers so this is the wrong place. Here you can see all the wild flowers and plants of the Alps without climbing any mountain. It's a lovely place for those who like wild plants and like to discover new plants. P.S. it depends on what time of the year you visit this place, some seasons has more flowering than the others.

We had a drive of 40min to get there, only to find out that it was chiuso. According to the opening hours they should have been open, but instead they had a sign hanging at the gate saying they'd arrive shortly. After us waiting for 3 hours nobody came to open up.

Not worth for 5 Euros entry fee. You can get similar lake views from other places as well. There is nothing to see and do in the garden.

Price is quite high for the place (5€ in November23) size and content. The view is fantastic but you can get it also from surrounding areas for free

Simply stunning. Very much like a National Trust property. No access to the house though.

There isn't a lot to see, but it was pleasant to wander around on a hot day and to admire the views. One area, obviously newly created, was very attractive and wheelchair accessible. Other areas were less well looked after, and were a bit tatty. We spent about an hour in the garden in all.
