Asked along the way.
Can we hold a religious ceremony on the property?+
There is no church within the villa itself, but a historic church stands just 1 minute away on foot. The villa's monastic origins create a meaningful spiritual connection. Alternatively, symbolic ceremonies can be held in the villa gardens or indoor spaces.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?+
For groups up to approximately 30 guests, indoor villa spaces provide full shelter. Larger groups can use a marquee installed in the internal courtyard, and covered porticos are available throughout the property, ensuring the event proceeds with elegance intact.
Can we bring our own catering team?+
The villa works with trusted external catering partners and can recommend preferred suppliers. You may bring your own catering team subject to prior written approval.
Is the villa accessible for guests with mobility limitations?+
Due to its historic nature, the property has limited accessibility. Some ground-floor areas may be accessible, but the villa is not fully adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Discuss specific requirements during booking.
What is included in the overnight stay fee?+
The overnight fee (€2,000 weekday / €2,500 weekend) includes accommodation across the villa's 5 suites. A final cleaning fee of €400 applies separately. Catering is arranged and priced independently through external suppliers.
