One obviously, is the proximity of Rome, which makes it possible for your guests to arrive to Italy through the main two international airports, Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino, flying from any city in the world and even taking advantage of low cost fares from many European cities.

Being so close to Rome also allows you and your guests to enjoy of the ancient capital of Italy in your free time between the wedding events, or before or after the celebration.

That's where the botanical park of  Tenuta San Liberato is located, designed in the 60's by famous British landscape architect Russel Page.

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!

Castle Vincigliata in Tuscany: Our special wedding venue in Italy featured today!

Italy is the land of "amore", and from North to South, it is synonym of romance. But at Italy Italian Weddings we believe there isn't a more romantic setting in Italy, than a medieval castle located right at the ever rolling emerald hills of Tuscany, overlooking Florence.

Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and undulated landscapes, upon the hills of Fiesole and only 10 minutes away from the center of Florence, we find Castello Vincigliata, and exceptionally romantic historical wedding venue, perfect to celebrate luxury fairy tale wedding receptions. 

The castle features chambers and halls, finely decorated with frescoes from the Florentine Renaissance period, more specifically from the 16th century and even an Armoury displaying antique arms. All rooms and halls may be used by the couple as they prefer.

Castle Vincigliata is also the ideal location for outdoor celebrations: the courtyard can host up to 120 guests at a unique sit-down dinner. The veranda -with its breathtaking views of Florence and the Florentine countryside- can accommodate up to 160 guests and there is also a Winter Garden with a capacity of 140 guests. The beautiful gardens which provide a perfect background welcome cocktails, and the paved terrace, perfect for wedding ceremonies  and after dinner dancing.
