Hotel Villa Cipressi, by R Collection Hotels

Villa del Balbianello is a historic residence located in Lenno, along the western shore of Lake Como. It stands on the extremity of the peninsula of Lavedo, a suggestive promontory covered with vegetation that juts into the waters of Lake Como and that owes the name of “Balbianello” to this villa.
Villa Balbiano, a jewel of Lake Como dating back to the late sixteenth century, is one of the most refined locations for exclusive weddings. The villa overlooks the lake and boasts an elegant Italian garden with breathtaking views. The interiors, rich in art and period furnishings, express all the charm and glamorous style that have made her famous in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue US.
Villa Melzi d'Eril
