Casale il Saùco
SANTA MARIA DI CASTELLABATE, CILENTO, CAMPANIA
Casale Il Saùco is an intimate countryside wedding venue on the Cilento Coast in Santa Maria di Castellabate—an area often described as one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Set just a few minutes from the sea, it enjoys views over the water on one side and rolling green hills on the other. Just across the bay from the Amalfi Coast, it offers a quieter, more relaxed alternative with the same southern Italian character.
The style is rustic and relaxed, deeply rooted in local tradition. Original stone walls and timber details are complemented by hand-painted Vietri ceramics, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere rather than a polished hotel aesthetic. On one side, the venue opens to sunset views toward the sea; on the other, it overlooks rolling green hills—making it an ideal setting for couples dreaming of a small, laid-back destination wedding in Italy.
Casale Il Saùco is best suited to intimate weddings of up to 50 guests, with 7 independent apartments accommodating up to 30 guests on site. Additional accommodation is available nearby. The venue is approximately 2 hours from Naples International Airport, making it easily accessible for international guests while still offering a truly off-the-beaten-path experience.
