Lake Como, Italy · 19 June 2027
Giulia & Matteo
Our story
We met at a lakeside bar in Varenna, over a plate of pasta neither of us had ordered. Eleven years on, it is still the best mistake we ever made. This June we are bringing everyone we love to the lake to say yes, eat far too much and dance until the boats stop running.
The day
Dress code: summer best. Linen, colour, sunglasses, and shoes you can dance in on the grass.
Boats leave Varenna every twenty minutes for the villa jetty.
On the lakeside terrace. Bring sunglasses, and tissues if you must.
Spritz, olives and a toast that will go on a little too long.
One long table under the lemon trees, and far too much pasta.
Until the last boat leaves. Flat shoes welcome.
Getting there
Fly to Milan Malpensa or Linate, then take the train from Milano Centrale.
Milano Centrale to Varenna takes about an hour, with trains all day.
We send a private boat from Varenna at 15:00 and bring you back at midnight.

The honeymoon fund
Truly. But if you would like to treat us, we have set up a small fund for a month of pasta, boats and doing nothing at all. And if you cannot make it, you can still raise a glass from afar.
Good to know
Of course. There is a garden, a babysitter and a very patient grandmother on site.
If your name came with one on the invitation, then yes, happily.
The dinner moves under the villa arches. The party does not stop.
Summer best. Linen, colour and flat shoes for the grass.
Leave the car in Varenna. The boat is much more fun.
Our friend Sofia has every answer, on +39 000 000 000.
