During the weddings, access to Villa del Balbianello, is exclusively allowed from the Lake. You are welcome by the motto “Fay ce que voudras” (do what you want) which the Cardinal Durini wanted to be engraved on the small pier.
When at the end of the of the eighteenth Century he took care of the renewal of the Villa to transforming it in the ‘place of the delights’.
From the little pier, a steep stair leads to the gardens and then to the Villa, which is located a little higher.
