Villa Raimondi Minoprio is a historic 18th-century noble residence in neoclassical style. It was originally conceived as a country residence and hunting lodge for the wealthy Raimondi family. Although the building dates back to the 18th century, its main façade features later additions, such as the tympanum and a loggia of honor. Today, the villa is the headquarters of the Minoprio Foundation, an institution dedicated to education and research in the fields of horticulture and the environment. The property is particularly renowned for its vast and valuable 17-acre Botanical Park, which houses a rich collection of over 300 trees and several greenhouses with exotic species.

Even though it is often crowded, with bicycles, pedestrians, scooters and runners, the choice to ride on the cycle path overlooking the lake is a winning one. In that stretch the provincial road is in fact always very busy and dangerous.
