Hotel Villa Cipressi is a 4-star hotel. It is situated in the heart of Varenna, one of the most characteristic towns on Lake Como.
Villa Cipressi can hold civil or symbolic ceremonies on the lower terrace facing the lake. This venue is perfect for small, intimate weddings and larger parties of up to 80 guests.
To have exclusivity you would need to hire all the rooms for a minimum stay of two nights (24 rooms, 4 junior suites and the bridal suite). It is perfect as all your guests can stay under one roof. Having exclusivity means that you can dance and party after the reception meal until 1 am. If you were not to have exclusivity then the wedding would need to end by 11 pm.
Villa Cipressi is perfect for those who desire a destination wedding with a true Italian feel.
