Questions about the venue
Can we get married outside peak season?+
Yes. Weddings are hosted year-round with no seasonal closure. Room accommodation is available mid-April through mid-October, but the venue hosts ceremonies every month. For winter weddings, guests can stay in nearby Lecce (10 minutes away) or other surrounding areas.
What happens if it rains?+
A greenhouse structure with 300+ square meters can seat up to 200 people and is available for an additional fee. Outdoor spaces are mostly accessible, so partial relocations are also feasible for smaller guest counts.
Who provides catering?+
There is no in-house catering. You select an external vendor that fits your budget and style, or bring your own caterer as long as they follow the venue's supplier policy, which is open and flexible.
What is the minimum stay requirement?+
Two nights minimum mid-April to end of June and early September to mid-October. Three nights minimum July and August. Winter months have no stated minimum, though room rates vary by season.
How far is it from the airport?+
Brindisi airport is 43km (approximately 30 minutes by car). Bari airport is 160km (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes). Both are accessible, with Brindisi being the more convenient option.
