Among the couples’ favourite locations that are organizing their destination wedding in Italy, the Italian borghi are “emerging” wedding locations, they have always more appeal and long to become the most chosen. 

 

They represent the perfect locations in which it is possible to celebrate a wedding in an exclusive and intimate way, but also to live the territory that welcomes the brides and grooms to be and their guests. 

 

Getting married in a borgo means being completely surrounded by Italian history, traditions, flavours and breath-taking landscapes. It signifies getting in touch with the most real and genuine Italy, the one made of limpid landscapes, uncontaminated nature, local food, legends and myths to discover and fall in love with. 

 

A wedding in a borgo is the ideal solution for those – foreign or not – who desire an exclusive reception, a luxury event although with a simplicity key.
