PC: India TodayDeepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh - Bollywood's golden couple - are just hours away from tying the knot. The preparations at the Lake Como venue are underway in full swing. Chefs from Switzerland were also flown in to join the catering team and help with desserts and the wedding cake. On Monday morning, florists were also specially flown in from Florence to decorate the venue, Villa del Balbianello.
However, the couple and the families are not staying at Villa del Balbianello but at a luxury resort in the village of Blevio, on the eastern side of the lake. The resort has been fully booked and is also being decorated by the florists.
The resort has 75 rooms, 4 restaurants and bars, including an al fresco terrace overlooking the lake, 4 conference rooms, a spa, indoor swimming pool, outdoor floating pool and is surrounded by a botanic park spread across an area of 26,000 sq m, as mentioned in a report in India Today. The resort is a 40-45 minutes drive from the venue, but is a shorter commute by boat.
The average cost of a room at the property is 400 euros or Rs 33,000. Factoring in that the resort has 75 rooms and that Deepika and Ranveer have fully booked the place, they are spending around Rs 24,75,000 per day, which comes to more than Rs 1 crore 73 lakh for a week.
