Villa Augusta: Our featured wedding venue in Italy, this weekend!

Our staff at Italy Italian Weddings is always striving to bring to you the most beautiful, exciting and romantic wedding venues for your destination wedding in Italy. And with that in mind, we could not leave Villa Augusta out of this featuring series. And there is a lot to tell about this gorgeous Villa located in the countryside near Rome.

Travelling South of Rome, along the famous and historical Appian Way (la via Appia), we find the towns of Albano Laziale and Ariccia. And right on the border with them we find this magnificent Villa built in the first decade of the 20th century, in the Art Nuveau Style.

In 1953 the Villa hosted a very special guest: it was chosen to be the home of actor Gregory Peck while filming the famous movie "Roman Holiday", costarring with Audrey Hepburn. The Villa was selected out of hundreds of possible choices, because of its particular location and outstanding beauty with panoramic views over Rome-

Now the Villa has been recently restored, to bring it back to its former splendour and glory; it features a unique terraced garden overlooking the "Tomb of the Horatii and Curiazi", an ancient Roman archeological site of immense historical value, and the Baroque church of Santa Maria della Stella, where Catholic ceremonies take place.

The unique style and beauty of the building, along with the 7,000 square meters of parks that surround it, the views of Rome and the Tyrrhenian Sea you can admire from the terraces and balconies, make Villa Augusta the ideal venue to celebrate luxury destination weddings of all sorts: civil wedding ceremonies of legal validity, symbolic weddings and renewal of vows, Protestant and Jewish and other religious weddings, may all take place in the Villa's grounds. The Villa has another great feature and that is the wood fire pizza ovens, where the best catering services that cater events in Villa Augusta, can prepare all kinds of Italian pizzas, to impress your guests!

Take a peek at our pictures selection or visit the Villa's profile on our website, and make sure to contact our prestigious wedding planner Daniela Castellarin, to get more information! We welcome all your questions! We are looking forward to hearing from you!
