BUSTLE EVENTS’ TOP 5 ITALY WEDDING VENUES

I’m sure you’re already envisioning the rolling Tuscany countryside, sparkling waters of Lake Como, and the strikingly blue Amalfi Coast. Or, maybe the beautiful architecture in Rome and Milan, cities steeped in the country’s vibrant history. Italy has something for everyone. Here are a few of our favorite venues by scenic region: 

TUSCANY: THE LAZY OLIVE

You can find endless villas and estates that serve as wedding venues throughout Tuscany, but The Lazy Olive features unparalleled panoramic views of the entire countryside. Perched atop a hill, it’s the perfect place to say “I do,” beneath the Tuscan sun. Plus, they have an organic restaurant that serves the freshest dishes in Tuscany, and all the necessary amenities (plus plenty of extras) of a high-end wedding venue.

LAKE COMO: HOTEL VILLA CIPRESSI

This rustic villa rests above Lake Como’s blue water for amazing lakeside views. Hotel Villa Cipressi is perfect for a small to medium-sized romantic wedding. The historic residence offers:

·      Two restaurants

·      Botanic garden

·      Suite spas

·      Green terrace for gorgeous outdoor weddings

·      …and more

*This venue stays booked, so we recommend having the ceremony on a weekday OR booking at least one year in advance.

AMALFI COAST: VILLA CIMBRONE HOTEL

This historic and highly prestigious hotel boasts amazing views of the Mediterranean and a bespoke experience. In addition, Villa Cimbrone features ornate architecture, colorful frescoed décor, a romantic ambiance, and lots of space to explore and enjoy the lush gardens, quiet alcoves, and views throughout the property. The hotel’s 19 unique guestrooms each showcase their own luxurious design and style. You can expect a completely personalized and all-inclusive wedding experience.

ROME: ROME CAVALIERI 

Take in the Eternal City from this luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel perched along Monte Mario Hill. Above the city lights, you can see the Vatican in all its glory.  

This full-service hotel boasts several distinctive terraces, including Terrazza degli Aranci, the highest private terrace in Rome, so you can do all of your sightseeing from one spot if you wish. You’ll have unobstructed views of iconic buildings like St. Peter’s Dome and more. Rome Cavelieri also features three lower terraces: Le Belle Arti, Monte Mario Terrace, and Tiepolo Terrace. 

In addition to its terraces, the hotel’s vast collection of art makes it stand out among the rest, with over 1,100 original works from Italy!

FLORENCE; THE OLD MILL

Let’s head to wine country! Looking for warm Italian charm and world-famous wine? Florence is your place—more specifically, The Old Mill Agriturismo, Resort, and Winery. The Lavacchio organic family farm and estate will take you back to a simpler time with good wine, good friends, and good views. However, the quiet farm is still just minutes from the bustling city of Florence if you want to enjoy the art, architecture, and nightlife. 

The Old Mill is ideal if you want to experience it all! The property features:

·      Vineyards

·      Olive groves—with cozy chairs and sofas

·      Stone patio

·      Swimming pool
