Villa Marigola in Lerici, open June–November.
Villa Marigola stands apart as one of Liguria's few estates offering direct waterfront access to the Gulf of Poets, with period architecture dating to the 19th century that requires no artificial decoration.
Unlike neighboring venues confined to hilltop positions, this property commands both sea views and private beach frontage, making it distinctly suited for ceremonies at water's edge or receptions overlooking the Mediterranean.
My fiancé and I spent a week traversing Sicily on the hunt for the perfect wedding venue and the Villa Marigola was the second closest to perfection that we could find. It’s a stunning villa with grounds that were somehow even more beautiful.
