Photoshoot Experience at Villa Monastero

Our couples love Villa Monastero because it provides a unique blend of elegance and natural beauty. The gardens stretch along the lake, offering countless corners for portraits framed by cypress trees, flowers, and panoramic views of the water.

One of the villa’s most exclusive features is the famous panoramic balcony, which can be reserved for private use — a truly magical location for a wedding proposal or an intimate photo session.

Exclusive balcony reservation, ideal for proposals: €1,000 per hour

Villa Monastero entry fee for photoshoot: €300 per hour

Our Photography Services

We provide professional photography at Villa Monastero with a standard rate of €560 for a 2-hour photoshoot — photography only.
For couples who wish to add videography, we also offer combined photo + video packages at a higher rate, tailored to your needs.

This flexibility allows you to design your perfect experience — whether you prefer a more intimate photography session or want to capture your story with both photos and cinematic video. Early mornings and weekdays usually offer softer light, fewer visitors and a calmer atmosphere.

Villa Monastero is a perfect choice for couples who want more than just beautiful portraits. In one location, you get elegant architecture, lakeside gardens, panoramic views and a refined Italian atmosphere that works beautifully for engagement photos, anniversary sessions and romantic couple portraits.

The villa is especially strong visually because every part of the route feels different: quiet garden paths, historic details, lake-facing terraces and the famous balcony overlooking Lake Como. This gives your gallery variety without needing to move between many locations.

If you are planning something more emotional, such as an engagement or a surprise proposal, Villa Monastero also gives you a naturally elegant setting with enough space to create a calm and private experience.
