Rental prices for villas on Lake Como are generally fixed and do not vary by season. However, there are several ways to save on other aspects. Let’s consider them using Villa d’Este as an example. This magnificent complex combines luxury and elegance, offering the perfect venue for unforgettable events. For more details on this famous villa and event possibilities, see the "Venues" section.
1. Hall Rental Costs
The cost of renting halls at Villa d’Este is quite reasonable: from €6,000 for 60-80 people to €20,000 for 200 people. This allows for flexible budgeting depending on the scale of the event.
2. Event Scale
A grand and large wedding implies high costs for venue rental, banquet, and accommodation. A more intimate event requires less expense, allowing more focus on details that are most important to the couple.
3. Natural Décor
The luxurious Renaissance interiors of Villa d’Este, adorned with antique furniture, Canova sculptures, and old master paintings, alongside its magnificent gardens with colorful flowers, centuries-old statues, and a nymphaeum with polychrome mosaics, create a beautiful backdrop for the event, significantly reducing decoration and design costs.
