Ca' Borghese in Ameglia, open June–November.
Ca' Borghese is a 16th-century Ligurian estate that has been meticulously restored to preserve its Renaissance architecture while accommodating modern wedding celebrations.
Originally built as a noble family residence, the property maintains its period stonework, terracotta details, and centuries-old gardens across its sprawling grounds.
Today it operates as an intimate destination venue where history and contemporary hospitality intersect along the Italian Riviera.
I went to this place with very high expectations because of the beautiful pictures and good reviews I saw here… but after my visit, I must say I’m more than disappointed. We came on time and were left with no choice but to wait for over an hour before somebody came and gave us the tour. The hospitality wasn’t great and we felt like we were treated very poorly. After this experience, I will take my wedding to another location.
