Como, set in the north-east of the Lombardia region and renowned for its famous lake, has been for centuries a prestigious holiday destination frequented by famous people and extremely popular on the international scene. Como is also known as “silk town” and historic residences overlooking the lake are often the setting of high-end fashion shows. 

A site part of FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) association and its most visited one in Italy, Villa del Balbianello can boast an elevated position on cape of Lavedo which offers a spectacular view on the Lario and on the green hills that surround it. The “loggia”, with its characteristic three arches covered by vines, and the beautiful garden are the perfect romantic setting to have dreamy wedding receptions. Unsurprisingly, it has been often chosen by Hollywood directors as location for famous sagas such as Star Wars and 007. Nothing quite like getting here by boat.
