Villa Melzi proposal in the gardens of Bellagio
A Villa Melzi proposal with a photographer starts at €950 plus about €350 permit.
Villa Melzi has an English-style garden on the Bellagio lakefront with a small Japanese pond, maples and azaleas. The villa allows professional photography with a day permit but no decorations, set-ups or drones, so LAKE COMO FOTO plans the proposal around timing and a good hiding spot.

Villa Melzi charges about €350 plus VAT for a day of professional photography and does not allow decorations, floral set-ups or drones. Garden tickets cost about €10 per person. We book the permit and buy the photographer's ticket.
Best spots
The pond with red maples in spring and autumn, the plane-tree path along the water and the small lakefront pavilion give three frames within ten minutes' walk.
- April–May: azaleas and rhododendrons in bloom
- October: red and gold maples
- Early opening hour: fewest visitors
After the yes
Walk up the stepped lanes of Bellagio for portraits, then end at Punta Spartivento at sunset, where the lake splits into two branches.

Couples want everything settled before they fly.
The feedback is about clear planning, a moment caught on camera and a gallery delivered on time.
“She had no idea. The photographer looked like a guest on the loggia, and the first previews were in my inbox the next morning.”
“We knew the photographer, the timing and the total price before we flew. On the day we only had to show up.”
“The boat, the flowers and the photographer were in one agreement. I asked the question and the film caught every second of it.”
“Calm, quick and very precise with the light. The gallery arrived in five days, and every frame was usable.”
“Thirty years married and these are the first photos of us that we both love. The planning call made it easy.”
“Permits, boat transfers and the timeline were sorted for us. Our guests still talk about the terrace portraits.”
