Villa Balbiano is a lavish Italian jewel and 400-year old historical palazzo magnificently restored to its original splendour by French designer Jacques Garcia, who undertook a five-year project to bring the villa to the standards of today. At over two hectares, Villa Balbiano is one of Lake Como’s largest properties. With a premier location, beautiful historical garden overlooking the lake, private access to the lake, a spectacular swimming pool, as well as luxurious furnishings and art from Sotheby’s and Christie’s within its walls, the venue is nothing short of dreamlike.
