Villa del Balbianello – Official Rental Fees 2013
Italian Lakes Wedding Team now is happy to provide you the official rates of Balbianello Villa.
We tried to be the most exhaustive we could but please feel free to CONTACT US if you find something not clear or if you may need additional details.

Balbianello is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled Villas of the area reachable by boat thus giving your guests the opportunity of living a “different” experience.
FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano – Italian Environment Fund) preserves the most important Italian monumental Villas and gardens and it manages Villa del Balbianello too. It has agreed us the permission to use the Villa for our events.
We hope you will appreciate the uniqueness of this amazing setting and stunning view as much as we do!
The breath-taking ceremony can be celebrated outdoor overlooking the lake.
At Villa del Balbianello can be performed civil legally blessing ceremonies from Monday to Saturday.
Villa del Balbianello offers the opportunity of using the venue for:
- Only the ceremony (max 2 hours staying).
- Ceremony + aperitif / cocktail (max 3 hours staying).
- Ceremony + complete reception (max 6 hours staying) with option of extending the time till 2am at an extra fee charge or upon request and with extra charge some exceptions and extensions can be agreed.
Depending on the guests number, ceremony can be celebrated on one the Terraces or under the Loggia.
For groups smaller than 50 guests, the ceremony can be celebrated also while the Villa is still open to tourists (this option is cheaper than having the Villa in exclusive). This means in the afternoon, earlier than 6pm.
For groups over 50 guests, ceremonies are only allowed when the Villa is closed to public visitors (this has a higher cost) and therefore with the Villa in exclusive.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Villa del Balbianello has two small indoor rooms (Library and Cartographer room) available in case of bad weather or particular requests.
These rooms are one opposite to the other, at the two sides of the Loggia.
- The two rooms are both available only on Monday and Wednesday.
- During the other days it’s only available one or the other at your choice.
- Balbianello doesn’t offer any type of accommodations.
- Balbianello is open only from mid March to mid November.
- Balbianello is only reachable by boat, therefore there are extra costs for the transfers to and from the Villa to be taken in consideration.
We would like to suggest another opportunity too.
We can also advise to use this wonderful spot of Lake Como as an amazing set for your wedding pictures. In this case we could arrange for you the ceremony and reception somewhere else on the lake and then let you reach Villa del Balbianello afterward with a boat tour for your wedding pictures. This will involve a smaller budget but will let you enjoy the beauty of Villa del Balbianello anyway.

What a stunning venue – it would be amazing to photograph a wedding here!
WOW!! Amazing!!! These venues are wonderful!
I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
