    Hi Beez!

    We are considering a desination wedding in Italy.  Part of my family comes from the south, but we would consider any location in Italy.  There would likely be 20 to 25 guests.  We'd love to find a villa to rent, suitable for the ceremony, reception, and accommodation for 25 to 50% of the guests.  Any experiences or advice to share?  We have only just started to think about this, so any ideas would be great!

    Thanks!

    Lisa

    Italy generally restricts ceremony locations; look into those first.

    Check out http://www.caspin.com/apartments.php. This is a Tuscan farmhouse and it is gorgeous. When we stayed the owners were hosting a reception for about 40 people so there is definitely space. The grounds are gorgeous and the owners are wonderful. You can pm me if you'd like some pictures.

    I am doing a destination wedding in Italy in a Tuscan villa and have been working with the most AMAZING wedding planners ever.  If you PM me I can send you my wedding website that has photos from the 11(!) villas we visited last year when venue hunting and can also put you in touch with our planners.  Good luck!

    It's not a Tuscan villa, but I fell in love with this Portofino, Italy wedding on Style Me Pretty.
