Villa Balbiano

Super

Its pretty. There is a small stream flowing into lake Como, people go swimming there

Beautiful place, good views

We booked,paid a 50% deposit to secure in January prior to the pandemic. The wedding was scheduled in June when there were travel restrictions by the US and Italy. Unfortunately, for my daughter we has to cancel her wedding. The airline cancelled our scheduled flight and fully refunded us our airfare. There are two provisions in the contract that clearly state the given the pandemic we were entitled to receive our deposit. This reprehensible landlord has displayed more standard business ethics and has refused to reimburse my daughter her deposit. I appears that she needs my daughters $10k more than doing the right thing. I will tell you we don’t conduct business or treat visitors to the USA in this kind of despicable manner. I wouldn’t do business with this landlord if it were the last place on earth. If she would do this to my daughter under the pandemic,there is no telling how she will treat you,probably won’t get your security deposit back. I highly discourage booking this venue for any type of special occasion. How convenient in the landlords response she fails to mention paragraph 10 of the contract which addresses cancellation due Force majeure Event or local government doesn’t allow which during this pandemic was totally applicable. Given the uncertainty of the pandemic and asking guest to spend their hard earned money to potentially expose them to the virus “rescheduling” just isn’t a casual option as you suggest. This wasn’t a birthday party ! Not to mention the fact that that we would have had to quarantine 14 days upon arrival. What’s your answer to that ? In addition, I know that my daughter isn’t the only couple that this has happened to so buyer beware.

Just an amazing place with amazing view of tue lake

Nice but no access for tourists, - reply to tour comment: the comparison with my private house is strange, as i dont rent my house to other people (for example wedding celebrations).

I would like to visit the place as a tourist - can I? And where is the entrance - I did not find thanks

Probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. What a treat. Would recommend touring this not only as a destination but when visiting Lake Como.
