Historical notes

Built to control Turkish raids, such as that of the corsair Dragut, Viceroy of Algiers, and Lord of Tripoli, La Spagnuola Gavotti was one of Legino's six watchtowers. In later centuries, it was transformed into a noble palace that hosted personalities such as the Viceroy of Naples in 1653 and Napoleon with his officers in 1796.

The best day of our lives

The venue of our dreams. We always dreamt of a beach wedding and my husband was born in Liguria Italy, so this venue seemed a great fit. We decided to contact the venue, who were quick to respond and from the moment we spoke to Ludovico (owner of the venue) we felt at ease. We are a couple based in London and luckily for us, Ludovico was also working in London at the time, so we arranged to meet with him in person to look through the venue brochure together. We then decided to visit the venue in person where we had a lovely tour by Ludovico’s Mum. Even though it was winter the venue still looked beautiful and we could definitely envision our day there. One of the most helpful aspects of this venue is that they provided us with recommendations for vendors who had worked with them before. This meant we could plan the day ourselves, with their help and no need for an expensive wedding planner! Our day was magical, everything went as planned, the venue team were on hand to help with the vendors and it just meant the day was effortless and perfect. Would recommend this venue 1000%.
