Photos de Villa del Balbianello | Balbiano | Photo | Shoot | Photoshoot, by Nadia Fraqair (IG: @nadiafraqair). There’s a beautiful place on the west side of Lake Como in Italy. The name is Villa del Balbianello. This stunning villa has appeared in many films, such as Star Wars. It is a popular choice for couples looking for a romantic photo shoot. The gardens are lovely, and the views are breathtaking, making it an ideal spot to capture unique pictures with your loved one.
I would be honored to help you capture your special moments at this famous “Star Wars” location on Lake Como. Check out Lake Como Star Wars: Villa del Balbianello. Contact me so I can help you with some tips. In fact, I’m in touch with the villa and the most pleasing wooden boat agencies.

What makes Villa del Balbianello a popular Photoshoot location?
Villa del Balbianello is a lovely place because it mixes well-kept buildings with lush gardens and stunning views of Lake Como. In fact, the villa features elegant terraces and intricate architecture, making it an excellent spot for photo shoots, including romantic engagements. For any Star Wars fan, it’s a must-visit.
It’s definitely one of the best choices for my clients who need a photo shoot or want to plan an event like a proposal or a wedding.

Best times for your Photoshoot at the Villa
For optimal lighting and fewer crowds, early morning or late afternoon are the best times to schedule a photoshoot at Villa del Balbianello. The soft, golden light during these times will enhance the beauty of the villa and its surroundings, creating a magical atmosphere for your photos.
However, visitor hours for the villa are mostly from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. So, how do you do it? A private boat tour is an excellent trick for catching these times. You can have a 1-2 hours photo shoot at the villa. Then, enjoy 1 hour on a classic wooden boat. I’m glad to help you with the whole package: villa, boat, and photo shoot.

How to book
So, let’s follow these steps for the booking! Firstly, you need to ask Villa del Balbianello for the photoshoot permit. Check out Villa del Balbianello Photoshoot Cost. It costs:
- 400 Euros if you are wearing regular clothes;
- 600 Euros if you are wearing a wedding dress.
I suggest to contact the villa at least one month in advance. Of course, it’s essential to make sure they have a time slot available for you. Then, you can contact me to book your private photo shoot. You can also contact me if you need help with the villa or the boat. How? You have four options to get in touch with me. Whatsapp – for texting, calling, or video calling – or my Instagram, are the ones I like most.
