Zia Cathy's Country House in San Lorenzo I.
Guests arrive at a centuries-old country house in Viterbo's rolling countryside, greeted by stone archways and cypress-lined grounds.
From the moment you pass through the entrance, you're transported to a place where Italian rural tradition meets genuine hospitality—the kind where the owners actually know your names and remember how you take your coffee.
This is where weddings feel like intimate gatherings rather than productions.
Incredible spot in Civita Castellana. Great food, great people, great location. We will be back 👍🏻

Asked along the way.
Can we sleep guests on-site?+
Yes. The property functions as a hotel with multiple rooms available for wedding parties. This keeps guests integrated into the experience rather than dispersed across the region.
What's the realistic guest count?+
The venue comfortably handles 20–150 people depending on ceremony and reception layout. Larger groups can use multiple terraces and adjacent halls.
Are there restrictions on catering?+
The property works with select local caterers and encourages regional cuisine. You're not required to use their kitchen exclusively, but partnering with their recommended vendors typically results in better logistics and pricing.
What's the weather like in different seasons?+
Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) offer the most stable conditions. Summer heat can exceed 30°C. Winter requires heating arrangements and is less common for outdoor celebrations.
How accessible is the venue for elderly guests?+
The main buildings are accessible; however, some terraces involve stairs. Staff can direct guests to accessible routes and seating areas—discuss specific accessibility needs during planning.
