Villa Paolina in Pontelatone, open April–August.
Villa Paolina welcomes 250 guests across vineyard-lined grounds in Campania, where arrival from Naples takes 40 minutes and the day unfolds from a countryside church ceremony to wine-country dining.
Your guests arrive at a working estate, move through gardens for vows, then gather in a glass pavilion framed by mirrored walls that dissolve the boundary between celebration and landscape.
Catering remains in-house after a decade of partnership, with the kitchen calibrating menus for allergies and preferences across Italian and international repertoires.
Our wedding at Villa Paolina was truly enchanting. The venue itself is breathtaking, with a thoughtful layout that made everything flow effortlessly from the ceremony to the reception, dinner, and dancing. It felt like every detail was designed to make the day special. Gianfranco Alois and his team were amazing—professional, thoughtful, and always ensuring everything was just as we wanted. The menu had plenty of options, and they worked closely with us to stay within budget. And then there’s the wine. Surrounded by vineyards, Villa Paolina serves their wine that capture the essence of Campania’s terroir, making it feel truly authentic. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. If you're looking for a venue that's both stunning and backed by a caring, professional team, we wholeheartedly recommend Villa Paolina. It exceeded all of our hopes and dreams! Cheers, Natalia

Asked along the way.
Can we bring our own florist and vendors?+
The villa operates with trusted, long-standing supplier relationships but does not impose restrictions. The on-site florist knows every corner of the property and can execute custom designs. Coordination through the venue ensures seamless logistics.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?+
The glass-enclosed interior room seats up to 200 and features mirrored walls, so you maintain views of the vineyards and surrounding estate landscape while remaining fully sheltered, climate-controlled, and comfortable.
Do we need to book accommodation at Hotel dei Cavalieri?+
No. Hotel dei Cavalieri is a recommended option 20 minutes away with capacity for 150 guests and proximity to Caserta's Royal Palace. Villa Paolina can arrange transportation from the airport, hotel, and venue. Three on-site double rooms are held for the couple and closest family.
Can we hold a civil ceremony at the villa?+
Yes. Symbolic civil ceremonies take place in the villa gardens—an intimate, natural setting steps away from the dining and reception areas. Italian or international ceremonies can be arranged.

The standard minimum is 100 guests. Winter weddings may qualify for exceptions to this policy.
How far is the venue from Naples?+
