The highlight of this unique villa is the internal courtyard. The villa wraps around the space on all four sides creating a totally enclosed and intimate place to hold your reception.
It is possible to put a marquee roof structure over the courtyard enabling use no matter the weather for up to 300 people seated.
After dark the courtyard really comes to life, full of greenery you feel as though you are sitting in an authentic Italian garden.
Dancing can be held outdoors until midnight, after which the party can move inside the villa's ballrooms on the ground floor.
The frescoed walls and marble floors make the most luxurious party back drop. The dimensions of the connecting rooms are prefect for a dance floor and bar/lounge spaces.
