Perched gracefully above the shores of Lake Como, Villa del Grumello is one of the region’s most enchanting villas—a historic villa embraced by centuries-old trees, terraced gardens, and panoramic views of the lake’s silver-blue surface. Just a short stroll from the city of Como, this neoclassical gem offers more than architectural beauty: it invites the spirit to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
Each summer, the villa opens not only its gates but its soul to a thoughtful series of wellness events—immersive mornings of yoga, qi gong, and mindful movement in harmony with nature. Hosted in the villa’s magnificent park, where cypresses and camellias sway gently in the breeze, these sessions invite participants to ground themselves in the rhythms of breath, silence, and stillness.
Each event begins at 10:00 a.m., allowing you to rise with purpose and arrive with ease. Participation is guided by experienced practitioners, whose approaches range from classical Raja Yoga to playful martial exercises for young minds and bodies.

Qi Gong for Adults & Martial Games for Children
Led by Roberto D’Agostino

The Villa del Grumello park becomes, in these moments, more than just a botanical marvel—it becomes a sanctuary. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a curious traveler, these Sunday morning sessions offer a rare and gentle way to experience Lake Como: not just with your eyes, but through presence, breath, and movement.
To participate or learn more, early booking is recommended, as space in the garden is limited and intentionally intimate.
