Villa del Vecchio Pozzo is a 17th-century aristocratic villa on the green Posillipo headland above the Bay of Naples, with bucolic terraced gardens, a fairy-lit lemon pergola and the antique stone well that gives the villa its name.
Villa del Vecchio Pozzo’s defining strength is a genuine sea-view garden setting on the Posillipo headland: bucolic terraced gardens, a fairy-lit lemon pergola and an antique stone well, available for exclusive use up to about 250 guests. Couples should know there is no accommodation on site, the wedding party stays in nearby Posillipo, Naples seafront or city-centre hotels, and legal civil ceremonies are completed separately at a Naples comune, with symbolic and blessing ceremonies held in the gardens. Catering is in-house only. Historical indicative catering pricing has started from about €110 per person; full pricing is offered on enquiry.
