Villa Maria

Villa Maria is set in the middle of 3,000 acres of private gardens and parklands - perched above Lake Pepin in Historic Old Frontenac, Minnesota. Frontenac is nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills, providing residents and visitors with a scenic backdrop. It's situated about 65 miles southeast of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and 12 miles southeast of Red Wing, MN, making it accessible yet remote enough to offer a tranquil atmosphere. Frontenac is known for the Frontenac State Park, which boasts stunning vistas of the Mississippi River, as well as hiking trails through the hardwood forest and limestone bluffs. The town maintains a quaint, small town charm with historic buildings, with numerous buildings on the National Register. The surrounding region is known for its vineyards and wineries. Frontenac and nearby areas are part of Minnesota's burgeoning wine country, with several vineyards offering tastings and tours.
