The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Villa Sola Cabiati is an 18th-century private villa just up the road from sister property Grand Hotel Tremezzo, available for exclusive-use rental as a six-room residence. Frescoed ceilings, original Sevilla porcelain, antique furniture, and a lakeside terrace make it feel like staying in a friend's noble Italian family home — and Tremezzo's full team handles everything from chef to butler to vintage Riva captain. For a multi-generational honeymoon, an elopement, or the ultimate splurge, nothing else on the lake compares.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
All six bedrooms are part of the exclusive-use rental, so the question is which to use as the principal suite. The Master Suite on the piano nobile with original frescoed ceiling, antique bed, and direct lake-facing terrace is the obvious honeymoon choice.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival
Helicopter from Milan directly to the Tremezzo helipad, then short transfer to the villa. Welcome champagne on the lakeside terrace and a first dinner prepared by your dedicated chef in the frescoed dining room.
Settle in
Slow morning exploring the villa, garden, and private jetty. Use Tremezzo's facilities next door — pool, spa, restaurants — or stay on property for a quiet day with the chef preparing all meals.
Bellagio by Riva
Take a private vintage Riva Aquarama across to Bellagio for a long lunch and a wander through Villa Melzi's gardens. Return for sunset cocktails on the villa terrace, then a candlelit dinner under the painted ceilings.
Como silk and town
Boat down to Como for the Duomo, silk shopping at Mantero or A.Picci, and lunch in the historic center. Return for an afternoon on the terrace and dinner served by the villa team.
Cernobbio and Villa d'Este
Visit the gardens of Villa d'Este (by reservation) and walk Cernobbio's lakefront promenade. Lunch at a backstreet trattoria, return by boat, and dine at sister property Tremezzo's La Terrazza.
La Scala detour
Helicopter to Milan in the late afternoon for opera or ballet at La Scala, with a pre-show dinner in Brera. Return late by helicopter or private transfer to find the villa lit and waiting.
Farewell
Slow breakfast on the terrace, one final wander through the antique-filled rooms, and helicopter or private transfer back to Milan.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Exclusive-use only — pricing reflects a whole-villa rental, not per-room.
Six bedrooms means it's best as a full-buyout for a wedding party, multi-generational trip, or major splurge honeymoon.
Antique furnishings and frescoed ceilings demand respect — not the place for casual lounging in wet swimwear.
Open seasonally, with some winter availability for whole-villa hire.
