One day, four lights.
The villa keeps the hours for you. From the first vow to the last dance, the light moves through the house — and the day follows it.
The garden · 15:04
15:00
Act I · Ceremony
Vows under the lindens
Chairs on the lawn, the lake quiet below. Afternoon light through the leaves — the garden needs no decorating.
The terrace · 18:42
18:30
Act II · Aperitivo
Golden hour on the terrace
The sun leans into the water and the terrace holds its last warmth. Glasses up, shoulders down.
The hall · 20:15
20:00
Act III · Dinner
Candlelight in the hall
Long tables under low flames. The season writes the menu; the room keeps its voice down.
The garden, again · 23:30
23:00
Act IV · The party
Dancing under the lights
The garden turns into a dance floor. String lights, an open sky, and no reason to end early.
Three rooms, one house.
The day moves through the villa as the light does. Each space is yours in its hour — never shared, never hurried.
The garden
Ceremonies under the lindens, and the late-night floor.
The terrace
Aperitivo above the water, west-facing for the last sun.
The hall
Dinner under the old beams, candlelight by house rule.
Cooked here, for this house.
The kitchen is ours and it cooks for no one else that day. Menus are written with the season, tasted with you months before, and served at the pace of a good conversation. Whatever can come from the lake and the valley, does.

Drag through — slowly, the way the day went.
In their words.
“The villa held a hundred and twenty people and still felt like ours. When the lights came on over the garden, the whole day made sense.”
“No timeline on a clipboard, no rushing. The house simply moved with us — garden, terrace, table, dance floor.”
“Our families still talk about the light on the water during the aperitivo. You cannot plan that. Apparently, they can.”
Tell us the day you have in mind.
We host one celebration at a time. If the villa is free on your date, it is yours alone — garden, terrace, hall, and every hour of light between.
Visits by appointment, Tuesday to Saturday. The terrace is at its best an hour before sunset — we suggest you come then.
