We discovered this hidden place a year ago and completely fell in love with the place from the very first moment. From our first conversation with Marco and Paula, to every single communication along the way, it became clear that this was where we wanted to get married. Marco and Paula have been absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. They helped us find catering, answered all our questions, and were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful every step of the way. They truly opened up their home to us and made us feel so welcome. Our entire week there was absolutely unforgettable, and we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful or meaningful place to celebrate our wedding. We are so grateful to Marco and Paula for making such an important chapter of our lives even more special. This place will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and we hope to return one day! ❤️

Enormous hospitality. Rosaria takes the time to get to know you and works everything out according to your wishes. You decide for yourself how expensive you want to go. The food is fantastic. The wedding day itself was perfect. Rosaria and her husband were open to everything. As Belgians, we have different customs. Everything went smoothly.

Villamena exceeded every expectation we had, and we had high ones! We flew in from the U.S. for our destination wedding and can say without any hesitation that making the trip to Umbria was one of the best decisions we've ever made. The property is the kind of place that stops you mid-sentence. The views from the pool alone are worth the flight over, the food was exceptional, and the warmth of the staff made us feel less like clients and more like family friends who happened to be throwing a party. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Rafaela, Simona, and Stefano, who were genuinely irreplaceable throughout our wedding weekend. They anticipated needs we hadn't even voiced, were reachable whenever we needed them, and brought a level of care to every detail that you simply can't manufacture. It felt personal, because it was! My husband has spent over 15 years filming weddings across the U.S., so he's walked through a lot of venues and seen a lot of "special days." He said, without hesitation, that Villamena is one of the most beautiful and genuinely welcoming places he's ever set foot in. And he means that as someone who's seen behind the curtain more times than he can count. We got married here in June and came home with memories we'll honestly never stop talking about. If you're considering Villamena for your destination wedding or any special occasion, stop considering and just book it!

We had a wonderful wedding at the Abbazia and would happily do it all over again. From our first visit, Annalisa was warm and welcoming. She worked closely with Elisa, the wedding planner, and Eros, the chef, to help us plan a day that felt personal and thoughtfully organised. The whole team were calm, attentive and a pleasure to work with. The abbey offer homemade gifts and decorations, such as olive oil and soaps which is a lovely touch. The night before the wedding, the abbey hosted a family meal for 20 of us using homegrown ingredients, which was a lovely way to begin the celebrations. Annalisa and Elisa also grew the flowers for our wedding. We shared a general idea of colours and inspiration, and they created beautiful bouquets and decorations that suited the setting perfectly and felt very good value. It was very unique to be able to consult on what seeds would be grown for your wedding! Eros prepared a traditional Umbrian-style wedding feast with an aperitivo, buffet (with sliders and truffle eggs prepared live!), three-course meal, followed by cake, pastry mignons and fruit. The food was generous (seconds for all seated courses!) and we loved the grappa and coffee station. We also appreciated being able to have some guests stay on site, which made the experience more relaxed and connected. We used Eros' local wine choices, which were the best value. There were many lovely options for the ceremony location, which made choosing difficult. Throughout the day we were able to move guests to different gardens and locations, ending up with a party in the inner courtyard. The abbey's ancient frescoes and arches are striking, and the gardens are gorgeous and full of colour. In the week leading up to the wedding the weather forecast kept changing, which was stressful, but the team handled the adjustments smoothly, even with last-minute changes. Everything came together well on the day. Grazie mille — we hope to return again in the future.
