The historic hall
The heart of the villa: high ceilings and an atmosphere no marquee can imitate — for the reception, or as an elegant plan B if it rains.
San Pietro in Cariano · Valpolicella · Italy
Your vows, in a villa from 1623

The villa
A first look
Why here
Four centuries of history. One couple at a time.
Three things that are simply true.
Built in 1623
The estate dates from 1623, when Valpolicella's hillsides were dotted with the country houses of Venetian nobility. A careful restoration has brought it back to life — the stone, the proportions and the quiet remain.
In the Valpolicella wine region
All around lie the vineyards of Amarone and Valpolicella. Verona and its Roman arena are twenty minutes away, Lake Garda half an hour — and Verona's airport is within easy reach for guests flying in.
Exclusively yours
We host one wedding at a time. No parallel events, no strangers at the bar: the villa, gardens and courtyard belong to you and your guests.
The golden hour
The light does half the work
Evening sun pours through the arched windows of the hall and falls along the columns of the loggia. It is the light your favourite photographs will be made of.
The spaces
Where your day unfolds
The garden
Green lawns around the villa, for an open-air ceremony and an aperitivo as the sun drops behind the vines.
The courtyard
Enclosed and quietly theatrical — made for the cutting of the cake and dancing under the stars.
The loggia
Stone columns and long shadows around the courtyard — the covered walkway that carries your guests through every moment of the day.
How it works
Three steps to your date
Your enquiry
Tell us your rough date and guest numbers. We reply within one working day with availability and details.
A private viewing
Come and walk the villa with us, with no obligation. Many couples plan it around a weekend in Verona or on Lake Garda.
Your date
You receive a clear proposal. Once you are happy, the date is reserved for you — and no one else.
The suites
For those who stay the night
The villa has a small number of suites opening in summer 2026: for weddings after the opening, they can be reserved for the couple and closest family. There are excellent places to stay nearby for everyone else.

Will we need a car?

If they stay a few days

Questions
What couples ask us
How many guests can the villa host?
The hall, garden and courtyard suit both very intimate ceremonies — fifteen guests or so — and larger receptions. Give us your estimated numbers in the enquiry and we will confirm the right arrangement straight away.
Will we have the villa exclusively?
Yes. We host one wedding at a time — on your day there are no other events and no other guests.
How does catering work?
In two ways: with the trusted professionals we work with, or with a caterer of your own choosing — we are open to both. We discuss it at your viewing and settle it together.
What does it cost, and how do we get an estimate?
Every wedding is tailored: the cost depends on guest numbers, the season and the shape of the day. Send us your approximate date and numbers and we will come back with a clear estimate within one working day, with no obligation.
Can guests stay overnight at the villa?
The villa has a small number of suites opening in summer 2026. For weddings after the opening, they can be reserved for the couple and closest family; there are excellent places to stay nearby for everyone else.
How far in advance should we book?
May to October dates are the most sought after, and many couples enquire more than a year ahead. Since we host only one wedding at a time, the calendar is naturally limited — write to us as soon as you have a period in mind.
Where exactly is the villa, and how do we get there?
In San Pietro in Cariano, in the heart of the Valpolicella wine region: twenty minutes from Verona, around half an hour from Lake Garda. Verona's airport is roughly thirty minutes away, and both Venice and Milan are within comfortable reach for international guests.
