Civil Weddings

an unforgettable wedding ceremony at Villa Bossi, Lake Orta

Villa Bossi in Orta San Giulio is for sure one of the most evocative venues to set a civil bending in Italy.
It was built during the XVI century. The building is made up by a L shape house on three levels. The façade overlooks the lake allowing a wonderful view to Pella, Ronco, Madonna del Sasso Sanctuary and most of all precious mystic St Julius Island.

Villa Bossi was built on a pre-existing medieval building that is still part of its walls perimeter but it was renewed and enlarged during the centuries.
Nowadays the building houses Orta San Giulio town hall. The building is simple and sober but enriched with some lovely architectural elements such as the porch and the loggia.
The rooms inside are furnished with antique stunning furniture that you will surely love.

The garden is just charming and it is always opened to visitors.
Four flowerbeds, a wisteria pergola with some seats and a secular cypress and most of all the iron Ggate that face lakes waters make it up The garden flowers with many salmon roses: it is “Orta San Giulio rose” a new quality of rose created just for this wonderful village on the lake.

Villa Bossi is a unique place. You won’t find anything similar all over Italy. It is the favourite destination for bridegrooms coming from abroad. Here you can also celebrate the bending in the open-air garden facing the lake, the panorama will be the perfect frame for the celebration. Many romantic brides decide to arrive to the garden by oar or motorboat, only for them the precious iron gate will be opened.

Just imagine quiet and blue waters of the lake, St. Julius Island and a violin that plays just for you.

A short lane with petals all around will lead you to villa entrance, where, between two columns covered by flowers you will have the perfect bending for an unforgettable ceremony.

After the ceremony you could also decide to take the boat to have a short visit to St Julius Island where you could take some stunning wedding pictures that will be an indelible memory.
