Borgo Gallana in Oria, open June–September.
Borgo Gallana is a restored Puglian estate in the heart of Salento, occupying a centuries-old fortified compound near the town of Oria.
The property has been carefully preserved to retain its architectural character while offering contemporary comfort for intimate celebrations.
Three luxury houses on the grounds provide accommodation for up to 8 guests, creating a private retreat for destination weddings of smaller scale.
I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at this truly beautiful venue in Italy, and it was an absolute dream to work in. From the moment I arrived, the hosts were incredibly accommodating, kind, and attentive, nothing ever felt like too much trouble, which makes such a difference on a wedding day. From a photographer’s perspective, it’s a joy to work in a space like this. The light, the scenery, and the flow of the day all came together effortlessly thanks to how well the venue is run. The property itself is breathtaking. Every corner is thoughtfully maintained, with timeless architecture, natural light, and stunning surroundings that photograph beautifully throughout the day. It offers such a calm, elegant atmosphere while still feeling warm and welcoming for couples and their guests. I would absolutely love to return and highly recommend it to couples looking for a refined, romantic farm stay setting in Italy. Ellie Rose McLean Photography x
