This edifice, situated on a hillside overlooking Lake Alserio in the lake country of the highlands of Brienza, is comprised of a seventeenth-century central building, one of the so-called “Villas of Delight” typical of the era in Lombardy, to which an eighteenth-century neoclassical wing was later added. The gardens, known for their very old beech and cypress trees, enjoy a beautiful view of Grigna and Resegone, often covered with snow in the winter. The house has a library separate from the main living spaces, which the owners also use as a music salon.

“It was an enormous pleasure to meet the owners of the Villa and to be able to work in such a friendly and inspiring environment – Villa Vittadini Mandelli is a wonderful place to rehearse, perform, photoshoot and work on multiple artistic matters. The area is extremely safe and beautiful – both the villa’s garden and the landscape around. The place is well connected with bigger cities in terms of public transport, which it makes it easy to reach from every location.
The owners took very good care of us, we felt at home for the whole week. Spending time with the owners at all the (excellent) meals, engaging conversation both with the owners and the unique audience and exchanging knowledge and experience from different cultural backgrounds made the residency very special and educational, for which we are extremely grateful both to the Mandelli family and to Le Dimore del Quartetto. We are very honoured we could be a part of the history of this unique Villa, which has been a part of Le Dimore del Quartetto since the very beginning.”
