Court Of Oranges in Molfetta, open June–October.
Guests arrive through tree-lined drives to a restored Puglian estate where terracotta roofs frame the Adriatic views.
Court of Oranges delivers the sensory immediacy of southern Italy—citrus groves, limestone walls, authentic regional cuisine—without artifice.
The property's 16th-century bones and modern event infrastructure mean your guests experience genuine Italian architecture alongside practical comfort.
Amazing place for a wedding! It is very romantic and has nice little hidden gems throughout the place - olive tree yard, wisteria arch leading to the building (I think it was wisteria but it was not blooming in October so I am not 100%sure), orange or hade right outside the dining area, cool and breezy poolside. I am not usually big fan of seafood but I enjoyed it quite a lot and more importantly so did my Italian friends and wedding guests which gives even more confidence in quality of the ingredients and cooking. The only regret is not starting with the deserts first - I simply had no space left and it was the course I enjoyed the most

Asked along the way.
Can we have both ceremony and reception on-site?+
Yes. The estate offers multiple ceremony backdrops—garden arbors, terrace overlooks—and separate climate-controlled reception halls, allowing timeline flexibility and guest flow between spaces.
Does the venue provide catering?+
On-site kitchen and restaurant operations mean full catering control. Menus emphasize Puglian specialties (orecchiette, seafood, local wine). External catering typically requires advance approval.
How many guests can stay overnight?+
The estate itself has limited rooms; however, Molfetta town (2km) and nearby coastal villages offer 50+ hotels. Most wedding groups book a mix of on-site and local accommodations.
What's the weather like in peak wedding season?+
April–May and September–October offer 18–24°C daytime temps and low rain risk. July–August averages 28°C with occasional afternoon heat; winter (Dec–Feb) is mild but rainy.
Are there backup indoor spaces?+
Yes. Two covered pavilions and a main hall (approx. 300 sq. m) accommodate rain scenarios without relocating the event.
