Villa Balbiano

Villa Balbiano stands as a testament to timeless elegance and unparalleled beauty on Lake Como. This historic 16th-century palazzo, once owned by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio and later embellished by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, is now the largest private residence on the lake. Occupying over 2 hectares with extensive sumptuous gardens distinguished by the British Society of Garden Designers, the villa features spectacular 17th century frescoes by the Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva, museum-worthy antique furniture sourced from Sotheby's and Christie's, an outdoor swimming pool, private pier, and boathouse. Listed among the most prestigious venues on Lake Como by Harpers Bazaar and Vogue US, it offers an unparalleled wedding experience that transcends the ordinary.
