Nestled in Cernobbio on Lake Como’s enchanting shores, this sumptuous historic residence perfectly embodies the union of prestige and Italian dolce vita. Envision a Villa Erba wedding by the water, lulled by lapping waves and gentle summer breezes, a cocktail reception gilded by sunset light, and an evening beneath the frescoes of a villa that has hosted renowned artists and filmmakers.
Picture this: exchanging vows facing the lake on an elegant platform that appears to float on water. A gentle breeze lifts your veil ever so slightly, rattan chairs stand in perfect alignment, and delicately scattered rose petals add that poetic touch we adore. The ambiance is soft, almost suspended in time, with only the gentle lapping of water and the first notes of a violin breaking the silence. Magical, isn’t it?
After this cinematic ceremony, the celebration begins! While your guests discover the villa’s century-old gardens, an elegant champagne bar awaits beneath the trees, accompanied by an array of refined canapés. A musical duo performs in the background, creating that enchanting atmosphere that makes all the difference.
And for a truly memorable moment, why not surprise everyone with a spectacular boat arrival after your photo session? Imagine emerging across the waters, champagne in hand, to the applause of your loved ones.
Prefer an elegant, intimate atmosphere? The villa’s historic salons, with their frescoed ceilings and majestic chandeliers, provide the perfect setting for a refined, intimate dinner. Here, every room breathes history and elegance. Your guests will discover meticulously set tables, floral arrangements harmonizing with the décor, and ambient lighting that enhances the entire scene. The effect is immediate: whispered conversations, admiring glances, moments savored.
For those dreaming of dining under the stars, the main terrace beckons. Picture long tables illuminated by suspended string lights, a gentle summer breeze caressing faces, and an unmatched view of the sparkling lake in the distance. Service flows effortlessly, dishes are refined, and the atmosphere is relaxed, almost bohemian, yet invariably chic. This versatility defines the charm of a Villa Erba wedding.
