Villa Revel Parravicini hosts weddings and private receptions for up to 70 seated guests, symbolic ceremony included, or 120 guests standing. The villa stands on the lakefront in the center of Como, at Via Museo Giovio 6, with a garden that opens straight onto Lake Como.
Weddings and receptions
The villa is offered first as a wedding venue. A typical day runs from a symbolic ceremony and a seated dinner in the Sala delle Colonne to an aperitivo in the garden, with the lake behind the guests. The same format suits an anniversary, a family celebration or a private dinner on the lake.
A dedicated team coordinates each event, from the first visit to the day itself. Private visits can be arranged by appointment on weekdays or weekends, and the team also offers video calls from the villa for couples who cannot travel before booking.
Every event is quoted to measure, based on the date and an approximate guest count.
Rooms and capacities
The Sala delle Colonne is the main room: tall columns, natural light, frescoed ceilings and mosaic floors, for up to 70 seated guests. It holds both the symbolic ceremony and the dinner.
The garden on the lake is used for the aperitivo and for standing receptions. The villa states 120 guests as its standing capacity. Wisteria flowers there in spring and white hydrangeas in summer.
If it rains, the four staterooms of the ground floor take the reception indoors. They keep their 19th-century frescoes, their mosaic floors and their view of the lake.
The villa also has direct access to the lakeshore and to the pedestrian path along the water, which is rare in this part of the city.
History and setting
The site dates back to the 14th century, and the present house took shape from the 18th century. Its neoclassical facade has a columned portico that faces the lake. In the early 1900s the estate was bought by General Thaon de Revel, a figure of the Risorgimento who received Italy's highest royal order. In 1910 it passed to the Parravicini Sossnovsky family, who still own and look after it.
The house belongs to Ville Parravicini, the family's group of historic estates on Lake Como and in its countryside, alongside Villa Parravicino Sossnovsky.
Getting there
The villa is in the heart of Como, right on the lakefront and a short walk from the historic center. The site puts Milan about 40 minutes away by road. Guests arriving by train can use the Como stations and finish on foot, and the lakeside promenade leads to the garden gate.
A virtual tour on the official site shows the rooms and the garden in 3D before a visit.
