This beautiful Medieval Village in the Modena region is set among verdant hills, and will give your wedding a true taste of ancient Italy.
MEDIEVAL VILLAGE
A simply stunning location
Our medieval borgo venue is considered to be the most beautiful village of its kind in the Modena region, set amongst verdant hills, vineyards and cherry trees.
Entered by the original main gate you will find prettily restored medieval streets leading to the hill top castle and bell tower.
The spectacular integral church with its extraordinarily preserved frescoes and unique atmosphere is again considered one of the most beautiful and magnificent of its genre.
Suitable only for catholic ceremonies.

YOUR RECEPTION
Following the catholic ceremony in the magnificent 12th century church in the medieval borgo of Savignano Alto, the reception may be held outside in the castle grounds – where our creative team will design the most beautiful setting overlooking the hill top village- or alternatively in the ancient hall or in any of the other Specialo reception venues nearby.
YOUR CEREMONY
Built into the walls of the medieval castle, the church of Beata Vergine Assunta, with over a thousand years of history, is dedicated for catholic ceremonies which are performed by our lovely father Pier Giovanni.
