This Villa, one of the most impressive in Europe, is built on the promontory of a peninsula and set high on the mountains that encircle Lake Como. Access from the lake is the favorite way of reaching this sanctuary. The peninsula is covered with woods and extends far into the lake; the view is breathtaking! A loggia with three arches adorned with vines and sided by two rooms, a music room and a library, is the unique focal point of the complex. Two separate square shaped buildings housed the living quarters of the previous owners. The spectacular classical style terraced garden, perfectly adapted to the terrain, has been voted the second most beautiful garden of Italy. Chosen for shooting Star Wars: Episode II and other movies, this marriage location has a magical atmosphere and is the perfect backdrop for your wedding pictures!
