This hidden Italian wedding villa is actually part of the larger Villa Erba estate, though it’s truly spectacular in its own right. The incredible gardens make you feel like you are in a home in Provence, covered in ivy everywhere. Though it lacks a lake view, the view is still gorgeous – one of luscious green grass and well-appointed gardens.
Villa Gastel
NOTES FROM
Alejandra
The property is currently owned by a noble Italian family who still uses the home for their private holidays, when it is not rented for exclusive events. The family has exquisite taste; all the reception rooms are decorated with Epoque furniture and immaculate details. All of the rooms are connecting and all of the reception rooms have direct access to the gardens. One of the exterior highlights is a charming interior courtyard full of ivy climbing the walls. It’s ideal for al fresco dining and late night dancing (which can go on until 5am since the home is surrounded by gardens).
This Provence-chic style villa is perfect for couples wanting a touch of France in Italy!
The price of the venue depends on the number of guests. Since there is no rain plan inside except for a cocktail dinner up to 150 guests, we highly suggest a rental of 3 to 4 days in order to have an alternative backup plan. And a crystal top above the interior courtyard will feel like anything but a backup plan!

Insider tip
We have organized various welcome dinners and brunches here, the day before and after the wedding, due to its close proximity to the best wedding venues on Lake Como. Family and friends typically stay close by, making the location ideal for groups of all sizes.
