Villa Polvese Resort and Oil Farm occupies Isola Polvese on Lake Trasimeno, with a medieval castle, an Olivetan church, a villa by Tomaso Buzzi and twenty-one rooms in a 75-hectare park.
Villa Polvese Resort and Oil Farm stands on Isola Polvese in Lake Trasimeno, within the municipality of Castiglione del Lago in Umbria. The island combines the ruins of a medieval castle, an Olivetan church and a villa designed by the architect Tomaso Buzzi, set in a 75-hectare natural park. More than 6,000 olive trees, some of them very old, supply the resort's own mill, and a small vegetable garden and fruit trees feed the restaurant, where lake fish and regional produce feature on the menu.
Weddings can be held on an exclusive-use basis. A civil ceremony licence is held, and the spaces include the indoor restaurant of the Dolce Agogia resort for about 50 guests, the Fiorito gazebo for about 200 guests and the twelfth-century castle. A typical wedding menu opens with finger food and Umbrian specialities on the lawn above the lake, followed by a seated meal and a dessert buffet, with sparkling and local wines. The resort has twenty-one rooms, all with lake or countryside views, and the Suite is given to the couple on their wedding night.
