A location for brides dreaming of a VERY special Italian wedding event that exudes refinement and elegance...

Possibly the finest luxury 5* villa and palace hotel on Lake Maggiore and certainly one of our favorite venues for a spectacular Italy Lakes wedding reception and honeymoon.  The Villa interiors, gardens and location are simply magnificent for an unforgettable event.  It is no wonder that famous names have sought solace here such as : Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.

The Villa & Palazzo overlooks the enchanting Borromeo Gulf, with stupendous gardens and terraces - perfect for a wedding reception and aperitifs.  Inside the villa's natural park, you can enjoy romantic walks surrounded by majestic trees, gorgeous flowering azaleas and rhododendrons which create a riot of intense colors.  The interiors, completely renovated in 2000 by the owners, drip with sumptuousness. Marble columns, aubusson tapestries, and walls decorated with luxurious fabrics create an atmosphere of opulence.  Light and the incredible views filter in from the huge bay windows allowing you to drink in the panorama, wherever you are.

The dining room is our favorite hall. You must see it to truly appreciate what a remarkable room it is and how incredible the views are. The Isola Bella, the Isola Pescatori and Isola Madre, romantic and amazing places, are directly in front of the Villa creating a marvelous panorama for you and your guests to enjoy while sipping on champagne.

The rooms are regal, no expense has been spared for guests' comfort with lavish bathrooms.  But the piece de resistance of this property is without a doubt the SPA. In our travels we get to see quite a few luxury spas but we think this is the ULTIMATE SPA; "the" place for a bride and wedding party to be pampered before their big day!  The design and golden mosaics are one of a kind.

A very accurate restoration has taken place throughout the Palace.  Period décor, precise in every detail, welcomes and envelops guests. Drawing rooms and salons segue into one another, frequently featuring “impromptu” lakeside views…

The Park....

As with most of Lake Como's historical villas, the hotel is surrounded by a beautiful century-old park, all ablaze with colourful flowers and plants which change with every season.  The 20,000 sq. mt park is criss-crossed with romantic footpaths and steps that wind gently up the Belvedere, which is adjacent to the spectacular Villa Carlotta gardens.  Rare ancient magnolias stand among palms in this wondrously Riviera-like climate. Clouds of azaleas, tulips and geraniums, hedges of rhododendron and beds of hydrangea alternate with expanses of pinks and reds, purples and blues that leave breathtaking glimpses of the lake beneath.

The tranquil greenery of the park hosts one of the three pools, a clay tennis court and the panoramic trail, perfect for early morning jogging or just a gentle stroll to fill the lungs with fresh air amidst the stunning scenery.

The magnificent Hotel Danieli is one of the premier Venice wedding venues enjoying spectacular views of the islands and Gran Canal.  It overlooks the Palazzo Ducale and is only a few steps away from the Bridge of Sighs and the iconic Saint Mark’s square.  

The three palaces which comprise the hotel date from the 14th, 17th and 19th Centuries: Palazzo Dandolo in Venetian Gothic style, once home to the noble Dandolo family; Palazzo Casa Nuova, previously the city’s treasury; and Palazzo Danieli Excelsior. From its romantic rooms with balconies guests can admire the views of the lagoon.  Without a doubt this is one of the finest wedding venues in Venice.
