About
Situated on the western shore of Lake Como, Villa Balbiano is a lavish estate designed to cater to the wishes of even the most discerning guests.
Spanning nearly three acres, it serves as an idyllic location for an unforgettable destination wedding or any other special occasion. The property boasts meticulously maintained lawns and gardens, with rows of cypress trees and towering hedges framing the villa and picturesque mountains providing a scenic backdrop. Among its notable features are a magnificent rose garden, an organic vegetable patch, a grand ornamental pool, charming pergolas covered in wisteria and jasmine, and a collection of impressive mature trees scattered throughout the grounds. Adding character and charm are delightful statues and water features tucked away in various areas. Guests can take advantage of the outdoor pool for a refreshing swim or hop on a boat from the private pier to explore the lake. Additionally, there are ample opportunities for al fresco living and dining or hosting intimate outdoor gatherings. Notably steeped in history, Villa Balbiano was once home to Cardinal Durini - renowned art collector - and hosted banquets, dances, concerts, and literary discussions in the 18th century.
