Wedding villas Lugano

The wedding villa in Italy,
one hour from Lugano

← Back to home

Many couples from Lugano look for a wedding villa in Italy for one precise reason: freedom. One hour by car, Tenuta Passera Marchiotto in Vergiate (Varese) offers the elegance of a historic residence set in ancient woodland and an open-air party with no curfew, with a wedding in full Italian style — in-house cuisine and unlimited wine at the table — what is nearly impossible to find across the border.

Why Italy
The freedom you are after
Where the rules say the music must go down early, the party ends just as it gets going. Here you dance outdoors in the historic courtyard until late, beneath a cascade of warm lights: no curfew, no compromise.
The estate
A historic residence in the woods
The courtyard, the avenue of centuries-old lime trees and the refined interiors offer the elegance of a period villa; the ancient woodland all around turns it into something more. And the estate hosts one wedding a day, in exclusive use.

From Lugano it takes about an hour on the motorway, from the Chiasso crossing forty-five minutes: guests can drive home in the evening, and those who stay find Lake Maggiore ten minutes away. Malpensa is a quarter of an hour away for those who fly.
