Hotel Villa Emden is a ten-room villa on the Brissago Islands in Lake Maggiore, hosting weddings of up to 120 guests with civil ceremonies in the Red Room and symbolic ceremonies in the botanical garden.

The story

A villa among the Brissago Islands gardens

Hotel Villa Emden stands on the Brissago Islands in the Swiss part of Lake Maggiore, in the middle of the island's botanical garden and with views of the lake on every side. The villa has ten rooms, renovated in a contemporary style, and for a wedding all ten are reserved for the couple and their guests. Anyone beyond that number is directed to partner hotels in Ascona.

Civil ceremonies take place indoors in the Red Room of the villa. Symbolic ceremonies and aperitifs are held in the garden, which offers several settings, among them the eucalyptus garden and the Roman Bath with its elegant pool. The Veranda Brissago holds a seated dinner for up to 120 guests, and the evening can continue with a party in the same spaces.

Frequently asked

Good to know.

Where is Hotel Villa Emden located?

Hotel Villa Emden is in Brissago, on the Swiss shore of Lake Maggiore in the canton of Ticino — a southern Swiss region with a distinctly Italian character and a mild, Mediterranean-influenced climate.

What makes Brissago special for a wedding?

Brissago is one of Switzerland's warmest and most picturesque lake towns, with palm-lined shores, the Brissago Islands botanical garden just offshore, and the relaxed, luminous quality that only Ticino can offer.

When is the best time of year for a Lake Maggiore wedding?

Late spring through early autumn (May to October) offers the most dependably warm and sunny conditions — the lake is at its most beautiful in May and September when the summer crowds have thinned.

Is Brissago easy to get to for international guests?

Milan Malpensa Airport is the nearest international hub, roughly an hour's drive. Locarno is the closest Swiss town with a railway connection; from there it's a short drive or boat ride to Brissago.
