Hotel where Dara Rolins and Pavel Nedvěd said "I do": Private beach, historic park and weddings worth millions
The wedding of Dara Rolins and Pavel Nedvěd was undoubtedly one of the most watched social events of this year. When they said their "I dos" on September 2nd, attention was focused not only on the newlyweds themselves, but also on the place where the ceremony took place. The choice fell on Villa Porta in the Italian Colmegna by Lake Lago Maggiore, which is known for offering its guests primarily peace, privacy and beautiful views.
It's no wonder that the couple chose it for their big day.
A resort where you feel the world has stayed behind the gate
Villa Porta doesn't feel like a typical hotel complex. It resembles more of a private estate hidden among greenery and the lake surface. The historic villa surrounded by an extensive park allows guests to rent the entire grounds just for themselves. In practice, this means a minimum of strangers, controlled access, and an environment where you can truly hide from the outside world.
Such places are becoming increasingly popular among well-known personalities. If Dara and Pavel wanted to experience a wedding without unexpected visitors and photographers' lenses around every corner, they could hardly find a more suitable location.
Private beach, lake views and romantic corners
The resort is located directly on the shore of Lago Maggiore and its greatest asset is the contact with the lake. The complex includes its own beach, pier, wellness zone with sauna and hot tub, and extensive gardens that reach all the way to the water.
One of the most impressive places is the Torretta tower standing on a rocky promontory above the lake. From here, views open up that are among the most beautiful in the area. Visitors have also grown fond of the new glass-roofed Ballroom Limonaia hall, which was opened only a few years ago and quickly became a sought-after venue for weddings and social events.
What makes Villa Porta so exceptional?
Villa Porta has earned a reputation as one of the most prestigious addresses at Lago Maggiore thanks to several details that are not commonly seen. Guests can rent the entire resort and enjoy complete privacy. At their disposal is also the modern social space Ballroom Limonaia as well as separate villas and residences with hotel service. The combination of private accommodation and luxury hotel services is today among the most sought-after forms of travel.
How much does a wedding with a view of Lago Maggiore cost?
Such a backdrop naturally comes at a price. The wedding venue rental alone starts at approximately 3,800 euros according to available information. However, that's just the base. The final price is of course influenced by the number of guests, catering, floral decorations, music, or length of stay.
It's therefore not unusual for the budget of larger weddings to easily climb over a million crowns.
The resort offers approximately three dozen rooms and apartments, and there are also private residences for guests who prefer greater comfort and discretion.
Lago Maggiore attracts those seeking tranquility
When talking about northern Italian lakes, most people think of Como. However, many travelers prefer Lago Maggiore. It is quieter, less crowded, and has still retained the atmosphere of an elegant resort.
It is no coincidence that European aristocracy fell in love with this area as early as the 19th century. Historic villas and luxury residences still stand here today, with prices running into millions of euros.
A region set to become their second home
Moreover, the choice of location was not just a matter of aesthetics. Dara Rolins and Pavel Nedvěd have a personal connection to the area and it is here that they are building their future home. According to available information, they invested a sum close to one million euros in land near the lake.
The wedding was thus not only a romantic event, but also a symbolic step in a place where they want to spend more and more time.
Elegance over toughness
Pavel Nedvěd in our recent interview among other things revealed that he prefers elegance, even though according to his words he hasn't achieved it yet. These words also aptly describe the decision to hold the wedding outside traditional Czech or Slovak destinations.
Villa Porta does not attract guests with ostentatious luxury. Its charm lies rather in the atmosphere, space and privacy. And these are precisely the values that many people today consider the greatest luxury.
Perhaps this is why Dara Rolins and Pavel Nedvěd chose this place on the shore of one of the most beautiful Italian lakes for their big day.
