Antico Borgo Carceri is a gorgeous wedding venue located in Umbria, Italy. It offers a picture-perfect setting for your long-awaited day, with its breathtaking view of St. Francis' Assisi and the Subasio Mountain. Marriage is an important life change. Elena and Stefano, the owners, also changed their lives by starting this adventure at the Antico Borgo Carceri, leaving Milan and their former banking careers.

History, Nature, and Hospitality

This wedding venue traces its roots back to the 14th century when it was probably a place of retreat and prayer for friars in the area. The name "Carceri" in Italian means "prison." As for the "Eremo delle Carceri" near Assisi, it was a place of peace where friars "imprisoned" themselves in prayer. Later, it was inhabited by farming families connected with the cultivation of the surrounding land. After a long period of abandonment, the hamlet was now a ruin... until its rebirth in 2000, thanks to a careful restoration that respected its historical soul. Today, the Antico Borgo Carceri has returned to its former glory, with interior spaces made even warmer and more atmospheric, manicured gardens and large terraces where friends and family can be welcomed in an authentic and relaxed atmosphere.

Just perfect place!

In June 2025, we had the perfect birthday celebration at Antico Borgo Carceri.
We were a group of 70 guests, and more than half of us stayed in the beautiful Antico Borgo apartments. Elena and Stefano took such wonderful care of us from start to finish. They even arranged delicious catering from a nearby restaurant — the food was just great.
Everything ran incredibly smoothly, and the communication couldn’t have been better. The location itself is stunning and ideal for hosting all kinds of events. There’s also a lovely pool area with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing.
The entire property is well maintained, spotless, and thoughtfully organized. It’s also very well located: the nearest restaurant is just a 1.4 km walk away and offers excellent food. Nearby, you’ll also find charming ancient towns worth exploring. And best of all, it's only a 2–3 hour drive from Rome.
I can give Antico Borgo Carceri my highest recommendation — both for accommodation and for hosting unforgettable events. A huge thank you to the amazing owners, Elena and Stefano!

Warm regards,
Outi from Finland
