The 1st November and 22th November in Varese: breathe the breath of history at Villa Bossi

villabossiIt’s like if Villa Bossi would be waiting for you.
There goes toe-to-toe as in other historic homes, but with the slow and sure, you feel almost at home.
Only your breath linger, in order not to disperse the scent of old wood and stone, in an attempt to restrain itself the image of the garden, the row of poplars by the window glass, light on the gallery. Villa Bossi oozes history, care, elegance and refined simplicity.
To accommodate this Mansion is like indulging in the arms of your mother, which in its most hidden recesses preserves a place for you too.
Has vibrating deep cavities, such as the ancient wine cellar, which whispers love sounds even without orchestra.
There are so many rooms by opening in the soul on invisible worlds, in perspectives that lead the eye away, without any anxiety along the lines of flight.
It is easy to think that the people who live there are made of the same beauty.
(taken from the site of Villa Bossi)

Two-hour guided tour of the home, between laboratories, collections of historical instruments, the magnificent cellar with its precious frescoes. The true spirit of the story narrated by its protagonist, an appointment that you can’t miss to …

At the end of the visit a light fragrant dinner to round off the evening.
