Symbolic ceremonies can be arranged with the management, who will prepare a special outdoor area, weather permitting, to seal your commitment of love.

The castle's gates were closed to the public until around 1990. Only since then has it begun to come to life, for certain periods of the year, as a venue for vacation rentals and since 2001 for events and performances.

Magical. Start to finish.

I don't know where to start, but I guess I'll start with Julie. She held our hands from day one, putting in hours and hours of calls, emails, in person visits, etc. - and for a wedding planner, she truly listened, got to know us, and worked so hard to bring our vision to olife within mour bounds. ˜We really wanted to control costs, and she was so creative and steadfast in trying to make that happen for us. She and the fantastic team of caterers, florists, etc. that she reccomended and did all the interfacing with, were also so flexible and understanding - we changrd our mind a lot with the changing weather, and they were super acoomodating. Everything was perfect for the day of. You simply cannot to better for a wedding planner, she is perfection.
The castle - speaks for itself. Just like the images if not better. Them beds are SUPER comfortable! All of the castle staff was fantastic - kind, warm, helpful, unobtrusive, they went above and beyond.
The entire thing - wedding, Bˆ&B, venue, service, etc. etc. etc etc. - was magical.

Perfect (and easy!) Italian Wedding

We originally found Castle Borgia during an Airbnb search as we looked for non-traditional venues for our destination wedding in Italy. The owner, Julie, is also a wedding planner and from the first moment we reached out, she was so helpful and we knew we had made the right decision! Julie was able to help us plan everything remotely from the US. We took one trip to Italy 8 months before our wedding where she took us around town to choose flowers and decor, walk through the set-up of our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the castle, select a harpist for the ceremony, DJ for the party, and plan our menu – including midnight pizza made in the castle's tower oven! Planning was a breeze and we felt confident that Julie would ensure everything went smoothly. Our wedding weekend was perfect – the wedding was everything we dreamed of (and more!) and our friends and family had an incredible time. Our closest friends stayed with us at the castle and we were able to cook a delicious brunch the next morning, too. Everything was surprisingly affordable and convenient. We truly had an unforgettable wedding. We so highly recommend Julie and Castle Borgia for your Italian wedding!
