Frequently asked questions

Can ceremonies and receptions happen on the same day without moving guests?

Yes. Villa Yiara's tiered terrace design allows the ceremony to occur on the upper platform while staff resets the lower terraces for reception—all within sight lines of the sea.

What's included in venue rental versus what costs extra?

Venue fee covers space and basic tables/chairs. Catering, bar service, florals, photography permits, and guest room rates are billed separately. The website (villayiara.it) provides itemized packages.

How far is the nearest airport?

Naples International (NAP) is 60km away—roughly 90 minutes by car. Villa Yiara can arrange private car service or helicopter transfers from the airport directly to the property.

Are there restrictions on guest count or season?

Minimum 20 guests; maximum 150. The venue operates year-round, though April-May and September-October offer optimal weather and are most available.

Can we bring our own vendors (photographer, florist, DJ)?

The venue maintains a preferred vendor list but permits outside professionals with prior approval and liability insurance. Coordination fees may apply.
