La Chiesa di Santo Stefano provides an idyllic venue for weddings - whether for small, intimate groups who want the unique ambiance of a wedding in the property's very own small chapel, or for larger groups who are looking for a very special location for their wedding reception. Italy is said to be the second most popular venue for overseas weddings after the Caribbean, and its proximity to the UK - with daily flights throughout the summer months - makes it readily accessible to wedding guests.

There have been many weddings held at Santo Stefano in recent years - and each has had a different feel. From garden party to sophisticated and elegant to roaring twenties, the villa has been

able to accommodate the diverse wishes of its clients. The addition of a large and stylish gazebo on the rear terrace provides seating for up to a hundred - although larger gazebos could be accommodated elsewhere in the grounds.

Parties of less than 50 tend to have their wedding ceremony in the chapel - but for larger groups the stunning Sala del Consiglio in the town hall in nearby Treia offers the perfect solution.

Santo Stefano is already a popular venue for weddings - but for a keen entrepreneur the opportunities to expand this into a full time business are endless.
