Welcome

Vows beneath the wisteria

A villa in the hills of Brianza where the park, the frescoed rooms and a slow weekend of celebration belong to one wedding.

Vows can be exchanged beneath a canopy of wisteria, in the gardens or on the terrace, with the Italian countryside around the guests. Jasmine, roses and cypress trees frame the gardens and the golden sunsets, and make a natural setting for vows and photography. Indoors, the panoramic glass veranda overlooks the gardens and gives the ceremony a setting under cover that is still connected to the landscape. After the ceremony, the terrace and pergola areas are used for toasts.

Cocktail hours begin on the terrace and in the pergola areas. The ceremony and champagne reception are organised by the villa team, and a plan B is worked out when the weather turns. The villa seats up to 70 guests for receptions and ceremonies. Dinner can be a formal seated meal beneath chandeliers or an outdoor feast under strings of light in the gardens.

Dining

Italian menus from the villa kitchens

Menus celebrate Italian cuisine, using seasonal ingredients from local farms and markets. The villa has professional-grade kitchens for private chefs, and all wedding dining is handled by the in-house culinary team.
