Affiliate disclosure
VillaDelBalbianello.org is a participant in the GetYourGuide affiliate programme. When you book a ticket or tour through a link on this site, I may earn a small commission - at no extra cost to you.
What this means
The booking links and widgets on this site go to GetYourGuide, a licensed online travel agency. If you book after clicking one, GetYourGuide pays me a small percentage of the price. You pay exactly what you would pay going to GetYourGuide directly - and in the case of the €15 garden entry ticket, exactly what the villa’s own ticket office charges.
How it affects my recommendations
It doesn’t set them. I recommend tickets based on what they cover, what they cost at the gate, and what travellers report - which is why the most-booked product on this site carries my most critical review, and why the garden vs villa page tells plenty of readers the cheapest ticket is the right one. The reviews are honest about what works and what doesn’t.

Frequently asked questions
Do I pay more when I book through your links?
No. GetYourGuide pays the commission out of its own margin; the price you see is the same with or without my link. The garden entry ticket even matches the €15 gate price - the prices page puts the gate table and the bookable products side by side.
Does the commission change your ratings?
No. The ratings and review counts on this site are GetYourGuide’s published traveller figures, and my verdicts follow the evidence - see the Bellagio boat review, where the most-booked product gets the bluntest treatment.
Who is the affiliate partner?
GetYourGuide, a licensed online travel agency that resells the villa’s tickets and the boat tours. I’m not paid by the villa, by FAI or by any operator - more on that on the about page.
