Castello Bevilacqua in Bevilacqua, open JuneNovember.

Castello Bevilacqua rises from the Venetian plains near Verona, its Renaissance stonework and fortified towers commanding views across the Veneto countryside.

The castle operates as a working residence and event space, with 15th-century rooms, manicured gardens, and two centuries of continuous family stewardship.

Ceremonies take place steps from the 200-metre-distant Parrocchia di Sant'Antonio Abate, while receptions unfold across period interiors or beneath marquee structures in the lower grounds.

I had the pleasure of planning a very special celebration at Castello Bevilacqua in Italy over the course of about a year, and I cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience. From the very beginning, Andrea was incredibly attentive, responsive, and thoughtful. Throughout the planning process, he consistently accommodated my requests with care and professionalism, while also offering valuable suggestions and recommendations that truly enhanced my event. His experience and dedication made a meaningful difference every step of the way. As my plans evolved close to the event date, the team at the castle showed remarkable flexibility, sensitivity, and understanding. They were quick to adapt and went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamlessly adjusted, always treating me with kindness, respect, and genuine care. On the day of the event, everything was beautifully executed. The castle itself is absolutely stunning, rich in history, filled with character, and exquisitely decorated. Every corner offers a unique and picturesque setting, perfect for capturing unforgettable moments. It truly feels like stepping into a place where every detail tells a story. The food was exceptional, the drinks were delicious, and the desserts were equally outstanding. My guests consistently praised the quality and abundance of everything that was served. The service was impeccable, attentive, generous, and executed with great attention to detail. The accommodations were also excellent. The rooms were spotless, beautifully arranged, and each one had its own distinct theme and charm. The entire property reflects a high level of care in both decoration and maintenance. Most importantly, Andrea and the entire castle team were incredibly welcoming and gracious throughout the entire experience. Their warmth and professionalism made me and my guests feel truly special. It was an unforgettable experience for me, my family, and friends, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Castello Bevilacqua to anyone looking to host a meaningful and beautiful event. I am certain it will be just as wonderful as mine was.
