Wedding venue Como

The woodland alternative
to the lakeside villas

← Back to home

Under an hour from Como, Tenuta Passera Marchiotto offers what many lakeside villas cannot: a historic estate set in ancient woodland in Vergiate (Varese), in exclusive use for the entire day, with an open-air party with no curfew and receptions for up to 250 guests. And Lake Maggiore is ten minutes away for photographs by the water.

The backdrop
Woodland charm, not the usual postcard
The villas on the lake are stunning, but their photographs all look alike. The ancient woodland, the lime-tree avenue and the historic courtyard give you an album unlike anyone else's — and Lake Maggiore is still ten minutes away if you also want shots by the water.
Exclusivity
Truly all yours
No shifts, no other events running alongside yours: the estate hosts one wedding a day and is exclusively yours from start to finish, in complete privacy. And the open-air party goes on until late, with no curfew.
Logistics
Convenient for you and your guests
The A8 motorway is minutes away: about 50 minutes from Como, half an hour from Saronno, and Malpensa airport is a quarter of an hour away for guests who fly in.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from couples in the Como area

How far is the estate from Como?
About 50 minutes by car, via the motorway. We are in Vergiate (VA), minutes from the A8 Milan–Lakes motorway and fifteen minutes from Malpensa airport.
Why consider it as an alternative to a villa on Lake Como?
For the exclusive use of the entire estate, the open-air party with no curfew, and a backdrop — ancient woodland — unlike the images everyone already knows. Lake Maggiore is still ten minutes away for photographs by the water.
Can we do a photo session by the lake?
Yes: Lake Maggiore (Sesto Calende, Arona, Angera) is about 10–15 minutes from the estate, perfect for sunset shots without stealing time from the party.
What happens if the weather turns?
Our generous indoor spaces have the same charm as the outdoor ones: the party stays just as lively under cover, without squeezing guests into a single room.
