Villa Fano del Poggio Ricevimenti in Cassano delle Murge.

Villa Fano del Poggio Ricevimenti operates as a working restaurant within an Italian countryside setting in Puglia, offering couples the authentic experience of hosting celebrations in an active culinary space rather than a dedicated wedding venue.

They act kind of posh, but the substance is actually not. No Internet, no phone signal. Kind of a pain. Food was ok.
