The story
Frescoed halls and an English-style park outside Verona
The estate has made wine since the first half of the 18th century and still does. Its neoclassical facade carries statues of Greek gods, and behind it lies an eight-hectare park laid out in the English style by the poet Ippolito Pindemonte, with centuries-old trees, a pond with an island and a walled vineyard from the 1500s. The villa is on one floor at ground level, which gives you plenty of ways to arrange a wedding.
Two rooms do most of the work. The Chamber of the Muses is three storeys high, covered in 18th-century frescoes, and holds 100 guests seated or 150 standing. The old barrel room, with its timber-beam ceiling, seats up to 160 for lunch and doubles as the cocktail room if the weather turns. Eleven more historic rooms are on hand, among them an 18th-century kitchen built around a huge hearth.
