Villa Feltrinelli stands just a few hundred metres north of Gargnano, and is the towns most famous historic building. Built between 1892 and 1899, some attribute its design to Francesco Solmi, and others to Alberico Belgiojoso. Surrounded by magnificent grounds, it is encompassed by a number of other buildings which were once used to house the groundskeepers and farm hands, who took care of the stables and the lemon greenhouses
The façade overlooking the lake is the most sumptuous part of the villa, whilst the park behind the building includes rare and valuable trees. Between October 1943 and April 1945, Villa Feltrinelli was the residence of Benito Mussolini, who lived there with his family.
Nowadays the building has become a luxurious Villa-Hotel: the Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli.

Villa Bettoni cannot be missed when you cast your eye over Bogliaco, a striking image that almost glows with light. The building is an exceptional example of architectural precision, reflecting the erudition of Lombardys aristocracy in the Eighteenth Century. Built in the early 1700s by the architect Adriano Cristofori, the villa was commissioned by Giandomenico Bettoni. The main body of the great mansion is embellished by a balustrade with statues from mythology, sculpted by Giovanni Battista Locatelli.
At the centre of the building, the great hall that separates the wings of the villa houses frescoes by Beniamino and Fabrizio Galliari, as well as other works, which together form a veritable gallery of baroque art. On the other side of the road, as if to reflect the magnificence of the building, is the spectacular giardino all'italiana(Italian garden), with its great exedra, nymphs grotto and flowerbeds. Beyond the garden there are some lemon greenhouses, and the park.
