01 · In a sentence

Villa Walter Fontana in Capriano.

Villa Walter Fontana sits on the Lombardy border where Lake Como meets the Brianza hills, giving couples a 45-minute drive from Milan instead of a lengthy destination trek.

This restored estate spans multiple manicured gardens and period rooms, eliminating the need to rent a separate ceremony and reception space.

The venue accommodates intimate gatherings and substantial celebrations on its 3+ hectare grounds.

Amazing place and magic scenario, with a beautiful swimming pool. Immerse in the hills, opposite the Alps. The food is simply the best and the service is absolutely great with such fantastic and attentive staff!!
