A beautiful Italian countryside venue with fabulous food!

I really want to take the time to share the incredible experience myself and my new husband had getting married at San Pietro this July, 2023. I would honestly recommend it to any brides looking for a destination wedding! It was so dreamy more beautiful than I could have imagined.

We are from London, UK and dreamed of an Italian countryside wedding weekend with all of our nearest and dearest. We were 56 in total, and wanted to have an exclusive venue, with only our guests on-site. We did a welcome pizza party Friday, the wedding Saturday and then a pool party bbq on the Sunday. The venue absolutely delivered on all of our requirements.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, it’s extremely peaceful, filled with birdsong and greenery. There is also so much history and art which adds to the uniqueness and prettiness of the venue. There are so many beautiful locations to make use of; the cloisters, the rose garden, the park (with amazing mountain views), the pool area (with toilets and changing rooms), and more! This made it great for hosting the guests in new and different locations all weekend. Plus so many locations for photo opportunities: The steps leading to the pool covered with flower arches was my personal favourite! Also the lighting in the hallways overlooking the cloisters was gorgeous! Every part of the venue was well nurtured and looked after. We made use of the spa with the bridesmaids and groomsmen on the morning of the wedding and it was the perfect way to unwind ahead of a busy day! We all felt very pampered!

The food was absolutely fabulous, and so plentiful! We are huge foodies so wanted to make sure our guests were well-fed with good food. San Pietro exceeded our expectations! We had the freshest oysters served during the aperitif, and the most tender veal sirloin served with dinner, I don’t think I have seen wedding food done so well and all our guests were raving about it! It’s obvious that the team work really hard on ensuring high quality menus with fresh and local produce! We had lots of dietary requirements to cater for but this was not a problem for the San Pietro kitchen, who gave our guests really lovely alternatives and made them feel included.

The venue’s wedding coordinator (Sara) was amazingly helpful, she did everything in her power to execute on our vision, and contributed great ideas! She was so responsive though-out, and we never had any doubts because she made us so comfortable. I am so grateful for all the staff for the impeccable service, and being so adaptable! We happened to get married during a big storm in Perugia and I will never get over how much Sara, Diego and team supported us with meticulous re-planning to make the day as perfect as possible! Luckily the venue is beautiful inside and out, with lots of sheltered options indoors which are equally as beautiful, so the weather didn’t take away from the day! Honestly, we were so glad to share our special day with all the venue staff, we really got to know them well over time.

San Pietro were able to sleep 36 of our guests on-site, and provide nearby accomodation recommendations as well as organised transfers for all of those staying offsite, so the coordination of guests arriving on time for events was perfect and simple.

We also worked with a celebrant recommended by the venue and he made all of the legalities really straightforward and easy to manage, so we were able to legally get married in a civil ceremony. But I also understand there are options for a religious ceremony in the lovely chapel.

Overall this venue was the best decision we ever made with regards to wedding planning. We intend to come and visit as often as we can.

If any upcoming brides or grooms would like to speak to us directly about our experience then we are more than happy to share, any excuse to talk about how fantastic it was!

Clarity and smart planning, our wonderful wedding in Umbria from US

Planning a destination wedding from the U.S. can feel overwhelming, especially when you want to stay in control and make thoughtful decisions. What we appreciated most about San Pietro sopra le Acque was the clarity from the very start.

We always knew what to expect, how to prioritize, and how to plan realistically — not just for the venue and food, but for the overall experience. That transparency allowed us to relax and focus on what truly mattered, without last-minute surprises or stress.

The team was honest, supportive, and incredibly professional, guiding us with experience rather than pressure. By the time we arrived in Umbria, we felt prepared and confident — and the wedding itself exceeded every expectation.

If you’re planning from abroad and value clarity and trust, this place truly delivers.

A big hug to all the staff of San Pietro from

Immersive experience

From the very start, our biggest priority was our guests. Many were traveling from Ireland, and we wanted everyone to feel relaxed, cared for, and free to celebrate without worries. San Pietro sopra le Acque made that possible in the most natural way.

Having so many guests stay directly on site was a gift. Others were accommodated nearby, and the fact that the team helped us organize transfers to and from the airport — and daily transportation for our guests — took an enormous weight off our shoulders. No one had to think about logistics; everyone could simply enjoy the experience.

Over three unforgettable days, the place came alive with laughter, shared meals, long conversations, music, and yes… plenty of pints. It felt less like a “wedding event” and more like bringing all the people we love together in one place, fully present.

The warmth of the staff, the beauty of the setting, and the seamless organization allowed us to live every moment deeply. These memories will stay with us forever.

Thoughtful planning and effortless celebration

From the very beginning, we felt that San Pietro sopra le Acque had a clear and well-structured approach — and for us, that made all the difference.

We are detail-oriented people and appreciated being guided through a thoughtful planning process, with clear timelines and a technical planning document that helped us see the whole picture months in advance. Knowing that everything was carefully mapped out made us feel calm and confident throughout the journey.

On the wedding day itself, everything unfolded naturally and smoothly. One moment we will always remember is just before the ceremony, when Sara was there with me, offering quiet guidance and reassurance as I prepared to walk in. That presence was incredibly comforting for me in that specific moment.

A stunning venue, a highly professional team, and an organization that allows you to truly be present and enjoy every moment.

Unforgettable day!

My husband and I got married at San Pietro Sopra Le Acque on 7 July 2024, taking advantage of elements that we considered essential in choosing the location: the possibility of getting married with a religious ceremony on site at the church which the structure is equipped with, our proximity and that of our guests (being almost all from the area) and holding the reception in the park area. Our day was exactly as we had imagined it, so much so that our friends often remember it as one of the happiest weddings they have taken part in (we are probably biased in describing it that way too!). The weather initially didn't seem to be on our side, only recovering shortly before the ceremony took place and for this I will never stop thanking all the staff who did their utmost (despite the now tight deadlines) to allow us to have an outdoor reception as we wanted. We will never forget it!

An Exceptional Wedding Experience

Our wedding at this venue was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism — always kind, attentive, and quick to respond to any questions or requests. Their genuine care and dedication made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free.

The venue itself is breathtaking. Its beautiful setting provided the perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and reception, and our guests were thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and attention to detail throughout.

The catering was outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, reflecting a clear commitment to quality and excellence.

Overall, we could not have been more pleased. The combination of exceptional service, a fantastic location, and wonderful food made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to any couple seeking a perfect and memorable celebration.

Perfect place for a Dream Wedding

Our wedding at San Pietro sopra le Acque was simply perfect. The place is breathtaking and has an unique Italian charm. Everything was beautifully organized, yet it all felt relaxed and effortless.

The ceremony in the garden was stunning, the food was incredible, and the team was both warm and professional. Our guests and we felt completely at ease. Sara our Wedding coordinator helped and supported us over a year with everything. She is just lovely. But the whole team is incredible nice, supportive and sweet.

It was a day full of joy, emotion, and genuine beauty – exactly as we had hopped for.

A Dream Wedding

We chose San Pietro Sopra le Acque as the location for our wedding, and we couldn’t have imagined anything better. Everything was simply fantastic: every idea and expectation of ours was respected and enhanced, with constant support throughout the decision-making process.

Living abroad, the help of Sara, our wedding manager, was fundamental from start to finish: always available, precise, and attentive to every detail. The venue is breathtaking, with a fairytale-like atmosphere and an incredible level of hospitality that made all our guests feel welcomed and cared for.

It was everything we wished for our wedding… and even more.

Our Dream Wedding

It took us some time to write this review, because we wanted to make sure to properly put into words just how incredible our wedding at San Pietro Sopra le Acque was. From our initial meeting with Sara, we felt there was something special about this venue and our instincts were absolutely right. As a couple from the United States, we planned our wedding entirely remote, which at the start was a nerve wracking concept. However, Sara made the entire process so easy and seamless from start to finish. She was so communicative and thorough with all aspects of our three-day event, from connecting us with the best local vendors to making recommendations for our dinner selections when we were unable to visit in person for our tasting.

From the moment we stepped foot on the property it was every bit as beautiful as we had dreamed. The venue not only blew us away with its beauty and location, overlooking incredible views of Umbria, but also with the amazing staff that made us and our guests feel right at home. Sara and the rest of the staff truly cared to make every day of our event so special and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our stay.

If you are a couple planning a destination wedding, we recommend San Pietro Sopra le Acque a million times over. Our wedding is something we will forever cherish and never forget. Thank you to Sara and the team at San Pietro Sopra le Acque for bringing our dream wedding to life!

5 Stars, The Wedding of Our Dreams!

Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming—especially when you're not on-site to oversee every detail. But choosing San Pietro Sopra Le Acqua Resort & Spa was the best decision we made.

From day one, Sara and her team were phenomenal. They met with us multiple times over Zoom, welcomed our in-laws for a tour and tasting, helped us select the perfect vendors, and brought our vision to life with ease and elegance.

On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly—and if anything didn’t, we never knew it. Sara and her crew handled everything with such calm and professionalism that we were able to relax and fully enjoy our celebration. Their ability to manage details behind the scenes is unmatched.

If you're dreaming of an outdoor garden wedding with breathtaking views of Umbria, at a venue that offers exceptional service and value, look no further. San Pietro is the perfect destination.

We couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. Thank you, Sara and team—you made our wedding unforgettable!

Location magica...

Una location che sceglierei 1000 e 1000 volte ancora.... Abbiamo scelto questo meraviglioso posto per il nostro matrimonio, abbiamo provato sensazione meravigliose subito appena arrivati e sono state confermate passo dopo passo nella scelta di ogni cosa. Il personale professionale, educato, premuroso e ti fanno sentire veramente in famiglia. Il cibo è tutto di un livello altissimo in particolare la torta nuziale, i nostri invitati ancora né parlano. La cura per i dettagli è strabiliante non so come altro descrivere il tutto se non con pura magia. Non smetterò mai di ringraziarli per tutto quello che hanno fatto per noi. Il nostro giorno più importante non poteva essere così perfetto neanche se lo avessimo dipinto! Lo consigliamo senza ombra di dubbio!

Splendid Experience

San Pietro Sopra Le Acque is simply THE PLACE for for a fantastic and special wedding. The venue is outstanding, the landscape surrounding the resort is breathtaking. The facility is very well organized and classy, the park and the rose garden are just the perfect additions to create a fairytale.
The organization of our wedding was perfect. The staff is very professional, easy to work with, always available and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. They were able to accommodate all of our needs and to host amazingly 150 guests. The bottom line is, they executed flawlessly the all event, from the welcoming guest, to the ceremony, to the dinner and all event management. Special shout out to the Event Planner Sara Posati which fondly assisted us in everything we needed. Big kudos to the chef and his team for the exceptional food typical of Umbria region. We have been getting non- stop compliments from our friends and families about how awesome they wedding was. Can’ t thank San Pietro Sopra Le Acque Team enough!
