We had our wedding at Villamena over the weekend of 2nd-5th June and we can't stress enough how brilliant Raffaella and Simona were, not just on the day, but in the two years of planning and build up.

I read in another review before our wedding: "trust them". And this truly was the right advice. They really know what they're doing and their sometimes relaxed attitude is simply because they have done this 100s of times before. They are both incredibly kind and welcoming and really made our wedding feel important to them. Nothing was too much trouble and all my requests were met with a 'sure no problem'.

The planning process was generally very smooth. We went out to visit once but otherwise conducted all of our planning over Zoom and email. We opted to book our own photographer and string quartet but otherwise used all of the suppliers provided by Villamena.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful and just as we'd asked for and they set up these incredible 'starry sky' fairy lights in the terrace which were absolutely stunning and well worth the extra cost.

The most impressive thing was definitely the food - it was absolutely incredible across the whole weekend - from the BBQ to the wedding dinner, to the pizza and pasta on Sunday. It was all simply amazing and they catered brilliantly to all of our guests' many dietary requirements. I can't eat gluten and had the best gluten free pasta and pizza I've ever eaten!

On the day, we were very unlucky and experienced some of the worst hail and rain ever for that time of year. But Raffaella and Simona had ordered in this amazing marquee to link the refectory and the terrace and we were able to move the ceremony at the last minute to keep everyone dry. I was so touched by the effort they'd gone to to ensure our wedding was still special despite the insane weather! It was truly magical and now I couldn't imagine it any other way.

This was truly a wonderful place to get married. Our guests all raved about the venue and the surrounding beautiful countryside. The apartments are really beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had breakfast baskets supplied in every room which were amazing and ensured everyone had plenty to eat outside of the wedding events. We also hired the nearby Sole Luna which was really convenient if you want to have a few more guests staying nearby.

Overall, we both truly recommend Villamena as an amazing wedding venue. We will never forget the weekend we had and will be coming back in years to come for our anniversaries!

Our wedding in Villamena was the best time we've ever had!

Rafaella and her team took care of everything so we could relax and enjoy the weekend with our friends and family. Besides planning the wedding day, they also planned and executed a BBQ night to welcome our guests, a wine tasting with a very talented sommelier with great English, and a pizza party.

Our guests took advantage of the facilities and arranged morning yoga by the pool with the fantastic view, a tennis tournament, a football tournament, and trips to explore Assisi.

The apartments were nice (newly renovated), and the breakfast basket was a good way to welcome guests with some food (bread, biscuits, eggs, juice, Nutella etc.) and make sure they had something to eat as guests have traveled far. Throughout the days, guests could mingle at one of the terraces, in the garden and by the pool, or relax in their apartments, which was a nice way to accommodate guests' social preferences.

On the day of the party, the most beautiful flower decorations began to show up in the garden and at the dinner table. Villamena had speakers at their disposal for the ceremony. The reception, dinner, cake, and party went extremely well. We can recommend the DJ, who got the party started - and was good at including the songs we sent beforehand in his set. The bar was fabulous with a big selection of drinks.

Villamena was the perfect setting for our wedding, and we cannot recommend it enough.

Thank you, Rafallea and team for an unforgettable weekend.

We had our wedding in July 2022 and I am still in awe of Villamena. We wanted a destination wedding in Italy and spent many, many months looking for the perfect location and we found it at Villamena. Organizing a wedding in itself is extremely daunting, and then adding on the fact that we are based in US made it all the more complex, however Raffaela and Simona truly made the experience easy. The location is perfect for those looking for a destination that is truly inspiring. The Villa is surrounded by the Mount Subasio park and from every angle you are emerged in natural beauty. The Villa has been recently renovated and each room is uniquely designed, which was perfect for us, our friends and family that stayed with us.

We had our wedding at Villamena in July and it was better than we ever imagined! Rafaella, Simona and all of the staff were amazing and made our 3 days with all our friends and family more than we could have wished for.
We booked the venue without seeing it, and it was a risk worth taking as everything was perfect.
Even though the rain set in for some of the time we were there, we were confident that Rafaella and Simona would still make our wedding the best it could be - and they did. The flowers, food, scenery, accommodation, pool, the villamena cocktail and staff were some of the highlights for us. Thank you to all of the team. We wish we could do it all over again!
