Villa del Balbianello

Villa Balbianello wedding
overlooking Lake Como

Villa Balbianello wedding overlooking the lake and spectacular views where to set the most exciting moments of the day. The perfect location for a classy wedding party.

Villa Balbianello is a historic home overlooking the enchanting Lake Como. It is considered one of the most spectacular wedding venues in Como.

Surely, the view from the top of the building is a perfect set for memorable shots. Villa del Balbianello enjoys a privileged position compared to other buildings overlooking Como Lake, as it rises on the wooded peninsula of Lavedo and it juts out over the placid waters of the Lario, the other name for the lake.

Since 1988, it is part of FAI – Fondo Ambiente Italiano artistic heritage. Guido Monzino was its owner. When he died he entrusted the management of the property to this italian institution. The interiors tell the adventurous story of Monzino, the first Italian to reach Everest peak as well as he was a passionate traveler and collector. While walking through the rooms of the villa you can admire travel memorabilia, maps and pieces of art he recovered during his explorations all around the world.

However, what fascinates more about Villa del Balbianello wedding is the chance to set the party in its luxuriant garden. The tree-lined paths flanked by classical inspiration statues, the panoramic terraces overlooking the lake and the eighteenth-century loggia frame the most evocative wedding photographs that we had the pleasure of realizing during our career.

We are certain that a Villa Balbianello wedding is the perfect match for those in search of a suggestive and elegant location to celebrate a classy party enclosed in a unique landscape.
