Featuring the largest lakeshore gardens in Como, northern Italy, Villa Pizzo’s dense history lends its grandeur and mythical ambience to this luxury Lake Como wedding venue. Built during the 14^th century by wealthy merchant Giovanni Muggiasca, Villa Pizzo has been in the property of the family until the 16^th century when it reached the top of its glory, as the large collection of the villa’s neoclassical furniture was created by John the Baptist, the last Muggiasca heir and then Bishop of Como. Since then and through the 18^th century the villa came into possession of international royalty and aristocracy.

Villa Pizzo is considered among the best Lake Como wedding venues due to its stunning location and incredible view of the lake and imposing mountain landscape. The villa’s characteristic façade in powder pink and sun-bleached peach hues, mirroring the building’s long history and architectural tradition of the area lends a romantic and airy ambience to the estate, seemingly out of a fairy tale. The Villa Pizzo main building is surrounded by vast Italian style gardens, alleys shaded by deep green trees leading to the docks and private terraces overlooking the lake, an orange grove and the longest garden area attached to the Lake Como shores, styled in English fashion.
