The hotel is surrounded by a terraced garden covering over 4,000 m², crossed by a little creek (the Italian word “ruscello” means “creek”) and with direct access to a private beach equipped with a dock.
Guests can relax in the gazebo area with tables and chairs and organize barbecues using the equipment provided.
The garden of the Hotel Villa Ruscello is spread over two levels: a lakefront area and an uphill area, offering unique views of the Borromean Islands and the Borromean Gulf.
The garden of Hotel Villa Ruscello is partly lake side and partly mountain side. The lake side garden overlooks the Borromean Islands and includes a large private and free parking which at night time is closed by an electric gate. For motor bikers: our hotel has garage space to store motorbikes. Next to the parking area there is a relaxation area which includes a gazebo equipped with a table and chairs, and a brick barbecue.
In addition, there is a small private beach with a dock, where you can relax in the sun and enjoy the gorgeous view of the Borromean Islands.
The mountain side garden is a typical terraced Italian garden enriched with geometric flowerbeds and full of camellias, azlaeas, rhododendrons and palm trees. The palm trees are Livistona Chinensis, a variety originating from China and introduced in Europe in 1818.
Between the Villa and the Dependence there is a creek, the Riale Corto, which springs from Monte Croce della Tola (977 metres above sea level) located beneath mount Mottarone (1491 metres above sea level). The creek, with a few waterfalls, flows into Lake Maggiore.
The garden has two accesses to the street. The gates are closed during the night.
