H
ome to the legendarily romantic story of
Romeo
and Juliet
, Italy couldn’t be a more perfect place to
escape to for a truly epic symbolic ceremony. Villa
Giona offers exactly what you would expect from a luxury
Italian retreat – verdant gardens, beautiful fountains, and
architecture that will take your breath away.
A tranquil retreat in the lush Valpolicella area, the villa
has the added bonus of being only ten minutes from the
vibrant city of Verona – meaning getting there is as easy as
enjoying yourself will be. You’ll be able to move seamlessly
from your wedding celebrations into your honeymoon –
the villa is a mere 25 minutes from Lake Garda, with a
selection of golf courses, quaint little villages, idyllic
mountain ranges and theme parks. Why not spend a day
or two in spectacular Venice, only an hour away, taking the
time for a leisurely gondola ride together through the
winding canals of the city.
The picturesque 16th century villa has been lovingly
restored to offer elegant surroundings and plenty of
modern luxuries. With gorgeous suites, characterful
orchards, and unrivalled hospitality, you’ll be treated to
nothing short of perfection. Their menus are all crafted
from seasonal, local produce – and you’ll even get a chance
to sample fine wines produced on the estate itself. When
the big day is at an end, you can unwind in a luxurious
open-air pool, sipping glasses of champagne and enjoying
each other’s company.
Whatever you choose to do, their dedicated, in-house
wedding planner – Marion Hunter of Villa Giona Weddings
– is on hand to make sure every little detail goes according
to plan. Marion, who is originally from Scotland, moved to
Italy nearly 20 years ago, and has since built up an
impressive repertoire of wedding industry and tour
operator contacts both in the UK and Italy. She boasts an
extensive knowledge of the local area, and will be on hand
24/7 to help you craft your own unique, bespoke wedding.
Fluent in Italian and with a passion for both the
wedding industry and the villa itself, you’ll be assisted
with everything from flowers to music to food – she’s even
at your disposal to help you with your travel
arrangements. All the stress of planning a wedding
overseas will be taken off your shoulders, so you can
concentrate on what’s really important – having the
fairytale day of your dreams. In Marion’s own words, ‘Here
at Villa Giona, we don’t follow trends – we set them.’
