LAKE COMO PROPOSAL
Everyone wants their proposal to be special and memorable, so finding the perfect fairytale location is key, and Lake Como certainly fits the mould. Set against a spectacular green mountain backdrop, it is famous for its beauty and for the many pretty villas that are set around the lake.
It’s also renowned for its glitz and glamour. A particular favourite haunt of celebrities for many years, Lake Como is synonymous with elegance and luxury. If you’re looking to show your loved one how much they mean to you, there is no prettier place to pop the question.
Here’s how to get started with planning the proposal of your dreams!
Keeping the ring safe
Unless you happen to live near Lake Como, the chances are that you’re going to be travelling by air or public transport at some point in your trip.
As you’ll be carrying your engagement ring with you, you need to make sure that it is packed safely, and correctly insured.
Not only is an engagement ring worth a lot of money, but it will have huge sentimental value. Make sure that you check if it’s covered on your home insurance or travel insurance policy before you set off.
You should also keep it close to you at all times – not just for security, but also so that your partner doesn’t find it and ruin your carefully planned surprise!

There are plenty of beautiful spots to ask the big question around Lake Como.
One of the most popular locations is Villa Balbianello, set for world-popular movies such as Casino Royal or Star Wars: Attack of the clones.
Villa Balbianello is also one of the most popular Lake Como wedding venues because of its unique position: the villa is located at the tip of a small and wooded peninsula which is part of Tremezzina.
For those that want to go all out with a big gesture, I’d suggest to take a private boat tour to whisk you away across the water and admire the shores of Lake Como from a unique perspective.
