What is included in a venue rental?+
Rental typically includes access to grounds, main hall, gardens, and parking. Catering, florals, and entertainment are arranged separately through preferred vendors or your own selections.

Are there nearby hotels for guest accommodation?+
The surrounding neighborhood has modest lodging options 1–3 km away. Many destination wedding couples arrange accommodations in central Rome (15–20 minutes by car) and use arranged transportation.
What is the cancellation policy?+
Policies vary by booking date and season. Contact the venue directly at http://www.villagiovanelli.it/ for current terms.
