Vecchio Borgo — wedding venue in Grottaferrata, Rome
Grottaferrata sits in the Castelli Romani, the volcanic hills south of Rome that have served as a retreat from the city since ancient times. The borgo captures the essence of this landscape — stone buildings, garden courtyards, and the unhurried pace of the Roman countryside.
Vecchio Borgo brings the intimate scale and romantic atmosphere of a countryside village to a location that is remarkably accessible from Rome. For couples who want the beauty of a rural Italian wedding without requiring guests to travel hours from the airport, it offers an ideal compromise.
