Stone terraces and tree-lined pathways create distinct spaces for ceremony, cocktails, and dining.
Amazing place. Thanks to all the staff of Villa, and especially Diletta, our wedding day was the best event that happened with is this year. From all the suggestions on the correct places to sit (due to unpredictable weather in Rome) until the very end of the party, me and my husband felt like real guests of honour. The dishes were sooo good that I still reveive compliments to the chef from our guests. Really huuge thanks to all the staff. Grazie!
