With love
Your presence is the gift
If you would like to give something, we are saving for a slow autumn in Sicily.
In October we're heading south for a slow honeymoon in Sicily: lemon groves, Baroque towns and a boat to the Aeolian islands. A contribution to a boat day, a cooking class or a night on Salina would make us very happy.
Your presence on the lake is gift enough.
Questions, answered
A little more detail
Everything guests often ask before a lake wedding.
How do we get to the villa?
Only by boat. Our boats leave Lenno's lakefront at 17:45 and 18:00.
What if it rains?
The ceremony moves into the covered loggia and dinner under a marquee on the terrace.
Should we rent a car?
Useful for exploring, not needed for the wedding: ferries, taxis and our boats cover everything.
Can we swim in the lake?
Yes, in September the water is still warm enough for a brave dip.
Is the villa accessible?
The paths are steep in places. Tell us what would help and we'll plan it with the villa.
