Questions about the venue
Can we have a ceremony and reception in the same venue?+
Yes. The convent's interior spaces accommodate both ceremony (in the chapel or dedicated room) and reception. Many couples use the main hall for evening celebrations while utilizing courtyards or adjacent rooms for the ceremony.
What's included in the venue fee?+
Clarify directly with the hotel, but typically venue hire includes access to ceremony and reception spaces. Catering, bar service, and accommodation are usually separate line items. Contact http://www.hotelalconvento.com/ for current packages.
How many rooms does the hotel have for guests?+
The property functions as a small hotel with limited rooms. Confirm exact room count and availability for your wedding dates when booking, as rooms fill quickly for destination events.
Are there outdoor spaces?+
The property includes the piazza and restored courtyard areas. Weather contingencies should be discussed with management, especially for spring and fall events.
What's the nearest airport?+
Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) is approximately 90 minutes away by car. Some guests may prefer Pisa International Airport (2 hours), which offers more flight options.
