 Accommodation

While Villa Rota does not offer on-site accommodation, the villa's elegant frescoed salons are reserved for the couple's preparations on the wedding day. Bathed in natural light and rich in historic character, they provide a beautiful setting for those special moments before the celebrations begin.

 Wet weather

The ceremony can take place outdoors in the park on sunny days or be moved indoors to the elegant piano nobile, framed by the villa's magnificent central window overlooking the gardens.
The spacious interiors of the historic villa, including both the ground floor and the piano nobile, provide refined settings for drinks receptions, dining and celebrations. At the heart of the park, the contemporary Garden Pavilion is fully enclosed, climate-controlled and heated, allowing guests to enjoy the feeling of dining surrounded by nature throughout the year, whatever the weather.

No

 Catering

Villa Rota offers an exclusive in-house catering service, with every aspect of the dining experience prepared and coordinated by the estate's own culinary and hospitality team.
Led by Chef Walter Bianconi, each menu is thoughtfully crafted using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and tailored to reflect every couple's tastes and preferences. Vegetarian, vegan, allergy-friendly and other dietary requirements are accommodated with the same creativity, care and attention to detail as every other dish.

 Supplier policy

Villa Rota's exclusive in-house catering service is an integral part of the wedding experience and is therefore required for all celebrations. Couples are otherwise free to work with their preferred photographers, florists, musicians and other wedding suppliers.
For those seeking a seamless planning experience, Villa Rota also offers a dedicated wedding planning service and is happy to recommend a trusted network of experienced professionals who know the estate well, helping every celebration unfold with ease and attention to every detail.

 Booking policy

Villa Rota is exclusively reserved for one wedding per day, ensuring complete privacy and the full enjoyment of the estate throughout the celebration.
Wedding dates are secured upon signature of the booking agreement and payment of a deposit. Final guest numbers are confirmed shortly before the wedding, with the remaining balance due prior to the event.
Our team works closely with every couple throughout the planning process, with all booking terms and event details shared transparently from the outset to ensure a smooth and personalised experience.

 Where to stay

Casa Gugù – A beautifully restored boutique guesthouse in the heart of Ravenna's historic centre, featuring six elegant rooms and an intimate atmosphere, ideal for couples and close family members.
Hotel Cube – A contemporary four-star hotel located just a short drive from the villa, offering spacious accommodation and modern amenities, making it an excellent choice for larger wedding parties.
Sei Sequoie Nature & Charme – An elegant countryside retreat surrounded by nature, combining refined hospitality with a peaceful setting, perfect for guests seeking a relaxing stay in the Emilia-Romagna countryside.

 Accessibility

The ground floor reception rooms, the Garden Pavilion, the surrounding park and the outdoor event spaces are all fully accessible, with step-free access throughout. An accessible restroom is also available on the ground floor.
Please note that the historic piano nobile is accessible only via a staircase and is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users. The team is always happy to assist with planning the event layout to ensure that all guests can comfortably enjoy every moment of the celebration.

 Max wedding guests

Up to 150 guests

 Church

Villa Rota does not have a consecrated church on the estate for Catholic wedding ceremonies. Within the historic park, there is a charming private chapel that forms part of the estate's heritage, although it is not used for religious wedding services.
Several beautiful churches are located just a short drive from the villa, including those in the historic centre of Ravenna and the surrounding villages, offering a variety of options for couples planning a religious ceremony.

 Civil ceremony

Civil wedding ceremonies are available at nearby town halls and authorised civic venues in the Ravenna area. Many couples choose to complete the legal ceremony before their wedding day and then celebrate their union at Villa Rota with a beautifully personalised symbolic ceremony.
