Asked along the way.
Can we hold our ceremony and reception at the venue?+
Yes. Civil ceremonies are available on-site in various atmospheric spaces. The deconsecrated church accommodates ceremonies and receptions for up to 300 guests. For religious ceremonies, the Church of San Pietro Apostolo is located in Cuccaro Vetere village. Receptions can be held across the property's terraces, cloisters, or indoor spaces depending on weather and guest count.
How many guests can stay at the venue itself?+
The hotel has seven double rooms accommodating up to 14 guests on-site. Additional accommodation is available in bed & breakfasts within the village and luxury resorts along the Cilento coast, 15–20 minutes by car.
Who handles catering?+
The in-house kitchen manages all food and beverage for weddings up to 60 guests. For larger celebrations, the venue partners with a curated selection of external caterers to offer options ranging from fine dining to informal menus.
What happens if it rains?+
Multiple covered spaces protect your event: a deconsecrated church (300 capacity), a fully enclosed frescoed chapel, and covered cloister walkways. Rain contingency planning is built into the venue's design.
Is the property accessible for guests with mobility challenges?+
Due to its 14th-century structure, full accessibility is limited. The property features an adapted access point from municipal renovation work, but many areas—external terraces, event spaces, and interior sections—are reached via stairs or narrow passages. We recommend discussing specific needs with the venue directly.
What are the payment terms?+
A non-refundable 30% deposit confirms your booking. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your event date.
