Villa Regina Teodolinda sits directly on the shore of Lake Como in Laglio — the exclusive village famously home to George Clooney — and carries a history that stretches back to the 6th century, when Queen Teodolinda of the Lombards made it her residence. Today this storied property is licensed for civil ceremonies and accommodates intimate weddings of up to 80 guests across flower-filled gardens, a lakeside pool, and elegant interiors. The villa's most enchanting feature may be its private dock: guests arriving by boat across the lake, stepping onto the terrace with the mountains reflected in the water behind them, experience one of Como's most unforgettable moments.

Villa Regina Teodolinda — wedding venue in Laglio, Lake Como
The villa's origins trace to Queen Teodolinda, who resided here between 589 and 616 AD. Teodolinda was later beatified as a saint, and her name has been inseparable from this stretch of Lake Como's western shore ever since. The property has been described as 'the house that George Clooney couldn't get' — a testament to its prestige even among the grand villas of this famously exclusive lake.
Through centuries of private ownership, the villa has been maintained as one of Lake Como's most distinguished residences. Its conversion into a licensed wedding venue has made it accessible to couples seeking something genuinely extraordinary — a place where fifteen centuries of history meet the timeless romance of the lake.
