Some places look like a film set, and Villa Melzi on the shore of Lake Como is one of them. In picturesque Bellagio, it combines neoclassical architecture, spectacular botanical gardens and a quiet that invites daydreaming.
A relaxed experience in Bellagio, Italy
We arrived at Villa Melzi at the end of autumn, an ideal moment for couples who want privacy. With no crowds of tourists, we could walk freely and photograph easily, enjoying every corner of the gardens. For this session the soft November light and the warm colours of the season created the perfect frame. My style focuses on authentic moments, and the quiet atmosphere let us create natural images where the focus was the connection between the two of them.
Why choose Villa Melzi for couple photographs?
If you plan to visit Italy, a photo session on Lake Como is an experience in itself. Villa Melzi d’Eril is not just a garden but a symbol of Italian elegance. From the lakeshore, where mountains reflect in the water, to marble statues and the Moorish pavilion, every corner offers a new, refined perspective. Whether it is an intimate elopement or a pre-wedding session, Italy always surprises. The best photographs are the ones where the couple feels free to be themselves, in a setting that inspires romance at every step, in any season.
