Castello di Vezio in Perledo, open April–November.
Castello di Vezio sits 300 meters above Lake Como, giving you dramatic water views and natural separation from guest accommodations—practical for ceremonies and receptions in different zones.
The 13th-century estate spans multiple levels with indoor and outdoor spaces, so weather won't derail your timeline.
Stone walls and period architecture provide authentic backdrop without requiring heavy decoration.
A stunning and well-preserved castle. While not particularly large, its simplicity adds to its charm. The hike to reach it took about 45 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. There is an alternative route for those arriving by car, but I opted to walk for a more authentic experience. The view of Lake Como was indescribable! Visited in September. Entry was €7.
