Frequently asked questions

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.
