The villas are connected to one another through walkways, roads and steps, surrounded by an enchanting vegetation.
Villa Roccabruna is the heart and soul of the resort and was not only the favourite destination of many 18th century aristocrats, but also the home of the lyric diva Giuditta Pasta. She was the first soprano to play Norma, Vincenzo Bellini's opera, and thus became also the first "Casta Diva" of the Hymn to the Moon, written by Bellini especially for her - the "moon" of Lake Como.
Villa Roccabruna was built in the late 18th century and rebuilt between 1906 and 1910 by the Milanese architect Carlo Formenti.
