The magnificent Villa Balbiano, overlooking lake Como, is the perfect Italian villa for rent for all those seeking the wedding venue of their dreams. Conveniently located twenty kilometres away from Como and reachable by land or lake, this historical top luxury villa is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped century-old garden and it offers all the charm of the past. Villa Balbiano was built in the 16th century and enriched by the art patron and collector Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini in the late 18th century with spectacular baroque frescoes by famous painters of the time. Cardinal Durini also extended the garden to the edge of the lake, embellishing it with statues and fountains making it the perfect setting for high society events attended by artists, poets, musicians, and writers. The villa has been carefully restored while preserving the elegance and characteristics of the Baroque Era, and the interiors feature antique furnishings of rare beauty.
The majestic Villa Balbiano spreads over three floors, recently renovated by the French decorator Jacques Garcia. For a detailed description of the layout of the property, we invite you to visit the Villa Balbiano page.
The magnificent and immaculate lawns and gardens offer several idyllic spots for a romantic ceremony, a chic aperitivo, and a gorgeous dinner reception with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
The private boat pier is ideal for the bride’s grand entrance and for the couple’s departure at the end of the party. What better way to start their honeymoon and the rest of their life together?
Villa Balbiano is a location straight out of a fairy-tale for an upscale wedding sure to leave fond memories of your special day on you and your loved ones.
