The property boasts an Italian-style feeling with its garden sculptures and painted yellow stone stucco on the main mansion structure. And to have its own ruins on property, it doesn’t get more special than that!
For your wedding ceremony, host your vows within the incredible ancient ruins located in the gardens of the estate. The timeless elegance this setting truly sets the tone for something magical to ensue. A ceremony here will not soon be forgotten by a single guest!
For cocktails, wedding groups have many options to choose from, depending on your personal preferences. I love the Versailles labyrinth-style gardens for drinks or alternatively, the olive tree garden areas. Both are beautiful, just different in appeal. And both fit nicely with the ceremony at a wedding venue with ancient ruins within it.
When it comes time to celebrate at the reception, I suggest dinner al fresco in the charming courtyard (for up to 100 guests), set in the amazing gardens of the property.
