Convento di San Francesco

RIETI, LAZIO

Convento di San Francesco is a historic monastery wedding venue set in the countryside between Rome and Tuscany, surrounded by 24 acres of mature parkland. The setting is quiet and self-contained, with a layout that reflects its monastic origins and lends itself naturally to structured, multi-part celebrations.

Dating back to the 16th century, the property has been carefully restored to retain its original character while offering modern comfort. Key spaces include a consecrated church, an elegant chapter house and a cloister, allowing for both civil and religious ceremonies on site.

The venue can host weddings for up to 300 guests, with indoor halls providing flexibility throughout the year and outdoor areas suited to ceremonies, aperitifs and dinners set within woodland and open gardens.

Located approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from Rome Airport, it is accessible for international guests while offering a more secluded countryside setting.

A perfect choice for couples looking for a historic monastery wedding venue in Italy with space, privacy and a calm, understated atmosphere.
