Villa Balbiano – wedding venue in Lake Como, Italy
Nestled right by the famous Lake Como, Italy with the backdrop of the mountains is the beautiful Villa Balbiano. This iconic venue, also seen in the movie House of Gucci, has hosted endless grand banquets, festivities, and soriées throughout history. And now, it is an exquisite venue to host your dream wedding or celebration. As luxury destination planners, we have had the honour to plan and design this intimate wedding at Villa Balbiano, featured on renowned BRIDES.
Why do we love planning and designing at Villa Balbiano?
Villa Balbiano has so much beauty to offer, both indoors and outdoors. Expansive English gardens that are meticulously kept, private access to the lake and an outdoor pool gives it a luxurious yet relaxing ambiance. Stepping inside the villa, the interior has been fully restored to its elegant beauty with an abundance of intricate artwork, furniture and fixtures. Each and every room is full of history and it’s easy to get lost in all the elegance and beauty.
What makes Villa Balbiano Special?
Villa Balbiano is grand and opulent but it also has personal areas where it feel private for different photo opportunities. The views of the venue and from the venue are breathtaking and it provides a great visual experience for guests. The variety of scenes you can create at Villa Balbiano is what makes it special and unique.
If you would like to stay the night or have your celebration for more than a day, then Villa Balbiano would be a wonderful fit for you. The villa offers accommodations for you and your guests up to 12 people in their luxurious suites. Each of these suites are lavishly designed complete with marbled bathrooms. Extra accommodation is also available for guests such as the Villa Villino on site.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces at Villa Balbiano
With its expansive outdoor space, there are various areas to host your ceremony. One of the most popular locations is hosting it right by the lake where the water and mountains gives a majestic and grand backdrop. For smaller celebrations, we like to use the front area of the house. Here there is a long fountain fixture that leads up to the front with the iconic villa as the backdrop. Both the lake and villa view is sure to give your guests a memorable experience as they celebrate the special occasion with you.
This villa can host up to 200+ guests and receptions can be held under a tent for a romantic starry night dinner and dance. For small celebrations, we absolutely love the small outdoor area that is covered by a canopy of greenery. With a classic stone table and built-in fireplace area, it is the perfect intimate space for a warm and memorable night.
The Villa Balbiano Couple
If you are a couple looking for a venue that is both elegant and timeless with just the right amount of Italian and European flair, this is the perfect place. It’s truly a breathtaking place to celebrate with your family and friends where not only will you make beautiful memories, but also give your guests an unforgettable experience.
