Italian Lakes Wedding Planner

We introduced Villa Pestalozza on Lake Orta a couple of days ago.
This is one of the best venues on Lake Orta for sure. It has a wide park and grand rooms with frescoes and paintings. Villa – managed by owner Donna Giulia – has also a lovely and intimate atmosphere and a stunning view over the lake.
These are surely the main features of this venue located just above Orta in Miasino village.

Micaela and Corrado a lovely Italian couple coming from Milan fell in love with Villa Pestalozza at first sight and they chose it for their wedding dated 11 September 2010.
