Location

Villa Ottavia

Lake Garda, Italy

The villa sits above the western shore of Lake Garda, among olive groves and old cypress alleys, with the whole lake below.

Please come a little early: the garden is worth a slow walk before the ceremony.

Dress Code

Black tie optional

Evening dresses and dark suits. The garden has gravel paths: block heels are your friend.

Transportation

Getting there and back should be easy.

A coach leaves Piazza Malvezzi in Desenzano at 15:15 and brings everyone straight to the villa.

At night it takes guests back twice: at 00:30 and at 01:30.
