About Villa Cortea
Villa Cortea sits on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius with direct access to 3 hectares of private grounds, a significant advantage for couples wanting ceremony and reception spaces separated by manicured gardens.
This restored Campanian estate handles 20-150 guests across multiple indoor and outdoor configurations, meaning your guest list won't force compromise on layout or intimacy.
The venue's proximity to Naples (25 minutes) makes it practical for international travel while maintaining the seclusion couples expect from a destination estate.

Questions about the venue
Can we host both ceremony and reception on the same day?+
Yes. The 3-hectare property has dedicated ceremony areas (gardens, chapel-adjacent terrace) separate from the main reception hall, allowing you to move guests between spaces without feeling rushed.
What's included in the venue rental fee?+
Tables, chairs, basic linens, and access to all grounds are included. Catering, florals, photography, and entertainment are typically arranged through preferred vendors or your own selections.
Are there lodging options for guests?+
Villa Cortea offers on-site rooms in restored outbuildings; capacity varies by season. Many guests also stay in nearby Terzigno or Naples and drive to the venue (20-30 minutes).
What's the weather like for outdoor ceremonies?+
May through September offer reliable dry conditions. April and October are mild but subject to rain. The estate has covered pavilions for backup if needed.
Are there restrictions on music or ceremony timing?+
Most civil and symbolic ceremonies can conclude by 6 PM; receptions typically run until midnight. Noise permits are managed by the venue for nighttime events.
