Villa Balbiano

Wedding at Villa Balbiano

Villa Balbiano, built at the end of the 16th century, is one of the most evocative wedding venues on Lake Como. The main building is a small palace, beautiful and elegant, which directly overlooks the shores of the lake. An Italian garden extends all around the villa and lets you enjoy an incredible panoramic view. It is a privileged observation point, the ideal setting for an exclusive wedding.

Everything about Villa Balbiano is glamorous: from its history to the charm it transmits to every visitor, to the interiors furnished with original art objects and period furniture. It is no coincidence that the villa was published by Harpers Bazaar and Vogue US among the most prestigious locations on Lake Como.

Villa Balbiano, luxury venue in Lake Como

For couples who choose to get married at Villa Balbiano there are 6 suites, each cared for in every detail and with design furnishings. It is possible to stay overnight inside the villa for the entire wedding weekend or use its rooms for the preparations before the ceremony: wear the dress, put on your make up and style your hair, but also take wonderful photos of these moments so full of emotions.

This venue also has a private pier with boathouse and two pools, outdoor and indoor. The real pearl of the property, however, is the garden. At the entrance to the villa there is a long and wide “green” corridor which leads to the gardens and to the square where you can set up the wedding banquet.

Wedding ceremony and reception in Lake Como

On the back of Villa Balbiano there is a splendid terrace overlooking Lake Como. It is a perfect space for hosting ceremonies, the only rite allowed for marriage is the symbolic one, but religious blessings can also be organized. The space is large enough to accommodate up to 100 guests.

In summer, the party can continue in the gardens or in the entrance square, while in the colder months or in case of rain, the tables can be set up inside the villa in the rooms decorated by the Recchi brothers and with the statues of Agostino Silva.
