Wedding Itinerary
VILLA PIZZO
Rebels, Roses, and Romance
Perched on its spur between Cernobbio and Moltrasio, Villa Pizzo is no stranger to intrigue: 16th‑century warlord Speciano once flew his banner from the balustrades;
plague refugees chiselled the very terraces that now blaze with Banksia roses; Alessandro Volta was honoured here with the world’s first monument in his name;
rebel cannon fire from Pizzo thundered over Como in 1848;
Villoresi’s yew tunnel still delivers guests to a Beltrami‑designed mausoleum and the grand dock where Volpi launched the prototype Vaporino runabout; divers are still fishing WWII ordnance from the deep just offshore;
and, most recently, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen crowned the villa’s kilometre‑long lungolago with two star‑studded ceremonies—proof that six centuries on, Il Pizzo remains the lake’s most storied stage.

PLACES TO VISIT
VILLA CARLOTTA
Visiting Villa Carlotta is one of the best things to do in Lake Como if you’re looking for a half-day of sightseeing. Nestled in the Tremezzina Riviera, Villa Carlotta is incredible for its lush gardens and world-renowned paintings and sculptures. The beautiful villa was built at the end of XVII century by the Milanese marquis Giorgio Clerici in a natural basin between lake and mountains, facing the dolomite Grignas and the peninsula of Bellagio.
VARENNA
is a small fishing village located on the eastern shore of Lake Como. The historic center of the village is amazing, starting from the square of S. Giorgio, an ancient Roman forum, and the narrow streets and stairs leading down to the lake. Walking along the "Passerella degli Innamorati" you can enjoy a breathtaking view directly on the lake and the village full of cafes.
VILLA MELZI
The Gardens of Villa Melzi d’Eril rise along the shores of Lake Como near Bellagio, harmoniously inserted into the hilly landscape between the two branches of the lake. The Gardens of Villa Melzi are a splendid expression of the Neoclassical style, and have been declared a national monument.
VILLA DEL BALBIANELLO
You can’t miss visiting this world famous villa in Lenno town. Many legendary Hollywood movies were filmed here, like James Bond and Star Wars. This elegant, romantic 18th century mansion and its magnificent garden have hosted writers, scholars and travelers, including Count Guido Monzino, the last owner of the Villa.
NESSO
is a picturesque village sitting on the banks of Lake Como. Its history goes back to the ancient Roman times, although most of its interesting historical landmarks, such as the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo, belong to more recent times. Ponte della Civera, a Romanesque bridge made of stone, is a perfect place to enjoy the waterfalls.
VILLA MONASTERO
The complex was initially a Cistercian female monastery founded in the late twelfth century which at the beginning of the seventeenth century was transformed by the Valsassinese Mornico family and subsequently renovated in an eclectic style, in particular between 1897 and 1909 by its last owner Walter Kees.
BELLAGIO
Bellagio is a small jewel located on the promontory that separates the two southern branches of Lake Como. It is one of the most glamorous and romantic destinations in Lombardy. In fact, the well-known “Pearl of Lake Como” is home to a colorful historic center, beautiful gardens (parks of Villa Serbelloni and Villa Melzi), charming neighborhoods (such as Pescallo or San Giovanni), and much more. We recommend hiking to the top of Salita Serbelloni (pictured above) for one of the most famous views of the town.
MENAGGIO
Menaggio is a small and picturesque town ten-fifteen minutes north of Tremezzo. Just a few minutes from the town’s pier is Piazza Garibaldi, the heart of Menaggio. Here, and in the surrounding small squares, there are many bars, restaurants and ice cream parlors with lake views.
You absolutely cannot miss a walk along Menaggio’s lakefront Viale Benedetto Castelli (pictured above), in our opinion, one of the most beautiful on Lake Como.
VILLA D'ESTE
The Villa d'Este is a former Renaissance patrician residence in Cernobbio on the shores of the southern portion of Lake Como. Now a luxury hotel, it is best known for its icon garden and stone arches, this place also has one of the most beautiful patios to enjoy a few cocktails or a high-end dining experience at its Veranda restaurant. Advance bookings are a must if you are not a guest at this hotel.
