A historic convent with its own church and cloister, for large weddings in the Lazio countryside between Rome and Tuscany. Set within 24 acres of parkland, Convento di San Francesco is perfect for a ceremony in its own consecrated church and a reception across its cloister and dining rooms, with the surrounding Lazio countryside as the backdrop. It has the feel of a self-contained monastic retreat, with air-conditioned rooms seating up to 280 guests indoors and on-site bedrooms sleeping 16 of the wedding party, 1 hour 15 minutes from Rome airport. Good to know: Convento di San Francesco requires couples to book through its own wedding planners to coordinate the event and its suppliers, which keeps such a large historic property in experienced hands.
