My husband and I had the privilege of hosting our destination wedding at Castello di Bibbione, in early June The historic property is breathtaking with picturesque views, pools, trails, and quaint accommodations. The wedding was incredible and the perfect place to spend quality time with our friends and family! The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our welcome party, ceremony, reception, and brunch. The breakfast service was incredible and our guests enjoyed the pools, yoga class, and bike rentals. I wanted to provide updated insights to the security issues mentioned in other reviews - We asked the staff about the reviews prior to the event and they walked us through the various measures they took to enhance security on the property. At check in they ensured we knew how to lock the doors and windows. Each room has a safe with printed instructions. We saw several security cameras and private security monitoring the venue over night. We felt very safe and secure during our stay! I highly recommend Castello di Bibbione for weddings and even a weekend getaway. It was an honor to have just a beautiful place be such an important part of our lives and we hope to return in the future ❤️
