The most beautiful villas to get married

Just say yes

wedding locations in Italy

If you want romance, then you're heading to Italy, right? Serenades under your balcony, full wines, and fluttering skirts on a rolling hill. It's not surprising that almost everyone has Italy as their dream wedding destination. For everyone who wants to say ‘si, lo voglio’ (yes, I do, but in Italian) one more time, we are selecting the finest villas. Start dreaming. And saving...

1. Villa Cimbrone, Amalfi Coast
Stunning hotel, helipad, beautiful gardens, terrace with seaview. All equally magnificent.

2. Palás Cerequio Barolo Cru Resort
Built on a wine cellar above 6000 bottles of the best wines. Quite nice and crisply decorated by Italian standards.

3. Villa Aurelia, Rome
On my favorite hill in Rome, Gianicolo, a villa overlooking the city. Think lemon trees and gold-trimmed baseboards.

4. Villa Carlotta, Lake Como
Botanical gardens, a private museum, but mainly the villa and the view itself. Everyone will be talking about this for years.

5. Villa del Balbianello, Lake Como
Favorite film location (Casino Royale, A Month by the Lake, Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones) Beautiful palazzo in the town of Ossuccio in the western part of Lake Como.

6. Aman, Venice
Beautiful palazzo (if you don't like rococo, I would skip this), private gardens (quite unique in Venice), two restaurants and two boats. George and Amal Clooney celebrated their nuptials here, or exchanged their vows here. Ah, you never want to leave, it's so beautiful.
