Antico Casale stands apart in Sarzana by offering an authentic 16th-century countryside estate that functions as a full-service hotel, eliminating the complexity of coordinating separate ceremony, reception, and lodging venues.
This restored Ligurian manor retains original architectural details while providing modern hospitality across its 12 guest rooms, allowing wedding parties to enjoy a cohesive multi-day experience.
The property's positioning between the Cinque Terre and Portovenere coast makes it accessible to guests while maintaining genuine rural charm.
We had a truly lovely stay here, the bed was very comfortable and we slept very well.Breakfast was a big selection, delicious and was always kept stocked, and great coffee too. The service from Veronica was great too, very friendly and welcoming. Swimming pool was great too, with massage seats and sunbeds. Would reccomend to anyone wanting to visit Cinque Terre or the surrounding area.
