We recently had our wedding reception at Villa Antiche Mura, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The venue exceeded our expectations in every way, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to get married or host an event in Sorrento. Planning a wedding from England without a planner could have been daunting, but thanks to Michele and Claudia, the entire process was incredibly easy, smooth, and enjoyable. Their communication was 10/10—prompt, efficient, and attentive to the finest details of my requests. Michele was particularly patient as I navigated countless questions and requests when meeting him at the Villa in the days leading up to the wedding. His understanding and support alleviated any stress and reassured me that our day would be perfect, and it truly was! On the wedding day, Michele went above and beyond by arriving at the ceremony venue to assist with my dress preparation and help my bridal party. When my veil got stuck while walking down the aisle, he was right there, saving the day! The Villa itself is breathtaking, and our guests were blown away by the fabulous views. Many of them told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, a testament not only to the villa's beauty but also to the incredible team that makes it all possible. When my husband and I arrived at the villa, Michele greeted us with a refreshing glass of water—such a thoughtful gesture that showed his experience in handling weddings, especially in the heat. The decorations were set up perfectly, addressing my previous concerns as I personally transported all the decor from the UK. Every detail was executed flawlessly, even better than I could have achieved myself. We also booked the food through the Villa, and it was hands down the best we’ve ever tasted! As frequent diners at fine restaurants, we can confidently say the food at Villa Antiche Mura topped them all. The catering team even accommodated last-minute dietary requests from some of our guests without any fuss. The entertainment was phenomenal as well! We booked a band, a violinist, and a saxophonist through the villa, and they were incredibly talented. Our guests were thoroughly entertained throughout the entire day and evening, with many enjoying themselves so much that nobody left early! The entire team, especially Michele and Claudia, ensured that everything ran like clockwork. They thought of the little touches that made our day even more special, creating a seamless experience for us. Thank you so much to everyone at Villa Antiche Mura for your hard work and dedication in making our dream wedding come true! If you are considering a wedding venue, look no further—you will not be disappointed!

One of the most dreamiest places I've stayed at. Pure paradise. They only have a few rooms which makes this villa very exclusive. The staff are very friendly, kind and courteous. They're attentive and kind. The room will stayed in was clean, modern and very comfortable. The balcony gets a lot of sunshine, so much that we can just hang out swimming clothes out to dry in just a few minutes. Be sure to check out the pool and terrace deck. If you look down, you'll see a beautiful private beach.

We got married at the villa in September 23. Wow, it is stunning! As you arrive & walk out onto the balcony the view is breathtaking. We didn’t book directly as we had a wedding planner but we met with a Michele a few times & he showed us around & was extremely helpful. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. It was set up exactly as we wanted and looked stunning. They offer so many little extras which made our day unique. The fountains during our Prosecco pour & the ice cream cart really added something special. Our guests were blown away by the venue & have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you to a Michele & The Villa Antiche Mura Team.
