Events

The whole villa, entirely yours, for your event.

I · YOUR STAY

Your Stay During an Event

Ten guests sleep at the villa on the night of your event

During an event, up to ten guests are welcomed across four of the villa's bedrooms: the Watchtower, the Dome Room, the Stairway Suite and the Orangerie, each one yours to explore with a click.

For a party larger than ten, if the number stays modest we take care of it ourselves, finding room for the rest nearby. Just let us know in good time, and everything will be ready well before your date.

II · CEREMONY

Ceremony

Symbolic ceremonies, in the open air

Divino Maniero hosts symbolic ceremonies only, held outdoors wherever you like: before the fortified entrance, for instance, or on the lawn beside the pool, under its arch of bougainvillea. The villa comfortably holds around eighty guests for the ceremony and the celebration that follows.

For a more dramatic ceremony, the fjord, symbol of Furore, is the perfect setting: the same inlet where Roberto Rossellini filmed L'Amore in 1948, and where Anna Magnani stayed in one of the houses above the water. It is the most romantic spot on this coast, doubly so for anyone who knows the story.

Tell us the size of your group and we will find the best way to welcome it together: every ceremony we host is shaped around the couple in front of us, never a fixed template.

III · CATERING

Catering

Every caterer is welcome

Bring your own trusted caterer, and we will welcome them warmly, subject to our approval and the same insurance and access conditions as any other supplier. Or simply trust us: we know the finest names on this coast and are happy to recommend them.

We simply put you in touch, so you can settle every detail together: write to us to find out more before deciding.

IV · OUR TERRACES

Our Terraces

One long table, four places to lay it

The terraces are the heart of the evening, the place to set your long imperial table: the Olive Grove before the fortified entrance, the Terrace of Lemons at sunset, the shade of the age-old pine, or the lawn beside the pool. The choice is yours.

Every terrace is dressed and arranged by your own wedding planner and suppliers: we provide the space and the view, and the table, the linen and the flowers stay entirely your own choice.

V · BACK UP PLAN

Back Up Plan

A covered hall for thirty, a marquee beyond that

The Event Space overlooks the pool, with its own entrance and an independent sound system, and opens straight into the Pool House beside it: together they form the villa's covered back-up, comfortably holding thirty guests. Past midnight the same room becomes the dance floor, with its own stereo system, even if the weather outside turns less kind.

For a party larger than thirty, a removable marquee can be raised in one of the gardens: rented separately, at your own expense, arranged in advance alongside the rest of the event, never left as a decision for the final week.

VI · GENERAL INFO

General Info

What we charge, and what to know before you write

A few practical points, gathered here so that nothing is a surprise once you are further along in planning.

What we charge: the villa, and a Private Event Fee on top of the stay, scaled to your guest count. Nothing else is invoiced by us: write to us and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.
Quotations: we are unable to quote until we have spoken with you directly about the style and tone you have in mind.
Planner and concierge: a wedding planner and a dedicated concierge are necessary for the event and, as a villa, we do not provide that service ourselves; florists, musicians, photographers and other local suppliers are arranged, contracted and paid directly.
Music: outdoors until midnight; indoors, in the Event Space, for as long as you like.
Access: on foot only, down about sixty steps from the road. There is no parking directly on the property, though private parking is available right next door, and the villa is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
Deposit: a security deposit is required for a stay with an event, returned after departure; contact us for the current amount.
