Venue Overview
Sitting on the banks of a glittering lake, close to the vibrant beaches of the Mediterranean coastline, the stunning villa commands unique views across the tranquil water and surrounding marshland wildlife reserve.
The unique Neo-Gothic style villa was built in 1869 as a hunting lodge and was much loved by poets and musicians.
A frequent guest to the villa was famous composer Giacomo Puccini himself who lived in the tiny hamlet and loved to spend time here with his artist friends composing his immortal operas and hunting coot.
The villa is surrounded by an immense park with mature pinewood and lake side lawns and the boathouse with a turreted tower offers a panoramic terrace for romantic wedding ceremonies.
Inside, the villa preserves the original frescoes and antiques including the piano Puccini loved to play.
The location is still frequented by artists and celebrities. Some past and present visitors include ex prime minister Tony Blaire and family, Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, Josè Cura, Sofia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Fred Astaire... to mention a few.
The villa is an extremely atmospheric location and couples can say their vows from the top of the boat house tower, along the lake-side gardens or inside the historic villa.
It is possible for couples to surprise their guests by arriving at the ceremony or reception along the shoreline by rowing boat.
