Hi All!
I’m in love, and that’s
official. I’m sure you will be too after you’ve read this post!
Where have I been? Away scouring the corners of Lazio (and a little corner of Umbria too, I confess) for some GORGEOUS wedding venues to offer here at Country Weddings Italy. Take a seat. Here is the first…..
This place is truly a little corner of Paradise. Set on a
hillside facing west down on to the magnificent northern Lazio coastline, the
colours of the natural surroundings are truly a sight not to be missed. The
sunsets are also apparently magical. A photographer's dream!
The resort has been
created from a group of old agricultural buildings, which the owner, Signor
Gianfranco, bought some years ago and lovingly renovated and recreated to his
own personal tastes. Signor Gianfranco has a background in the architectural
and theatrical scenery creation sectors, and his expert touch is reflected in
the extremely original interior décor. He's known to be a wonderful cook too, and he has even offered to spend time with our guests teaching them the basics of Italian pasta-making.
The resort has an
indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, spa, Jacuzzi and Hammam area. This really is a place for a super holiday, with friends, rejuvenating mind and soul, and tastebuds (!), as the food is amazing.
Outdoors, the resort’s
grounds are filled as far as the eye can see with Mediterranean vegetation,
olive groves, woodland and vegetable gardens, the produce from which is used in
the resort’s daily cuisine.
The resort has private indoor function rooms for receptions,
or when the weather permits (a large part of the year here!) it is possible to
host wedding receptions and parties outside on the terrace. If you prefer a
more natural touch, tables can be placed in the olive grove, reserved for your
exclusive use, by the pool, all lit by candles and lanterns once the sun goes
down.
The hotel has a total
of 20 rooms, making the atmosphere discreet and refined. It is off the beaten
tourist track and the owner strives to maintain the exclusivity of both the
place and its style. Civil wedding ceremonies are possible just a few miles
away, in a castle museum (officially a municipality wedding hall) right by the
sea. Great for photos!
