The estate offers three rustic country houses sleeping 49 guests, ceremonies beneath ancient oaks or in manicured gardens, and receptions in an atmospheric courtyard or the elegant Orangerie with its vaulted glass ceiling. The cuisine, prepared by one of Le Marche's finest chefs using organic vegetables from the estate and freshly caught Adriatic seafood, is reason alone to choose this venue.

Relais Villa Giulia — wedding venue in Fano, Marche
The estate dates to the Napoleonic era, with the main villa welcoming its first guests in 1808. For over two centuries, the property has served as a place of hospitality in the Le Marche countryside near Fano, evolving from a private estate into one of the region's most distinguished relais.
The landscape of the estate has been shaped over generations — olive groves planted decades ago, ancient oaks that predate the villa itself, Mediterranean gardens designed to complement the rolling Adriatic hills. This is not a venue that was built for weddings; it is a place where celebrations happen because the setting demands them.
