AN ELEGANT ITALIAN WEDDING VENUE IN SICILIAN COUNTRYSIDE  

 

 

 

Villa Do' Luisa is a charming historic estate, now home to a renowned Italian wedding venue,

located in the heart of Sicily,

only half hour drive from the magnificent Valley of Temples,

an archaeological site and one of the main attractions in Sicily.

 

It was already known to be a farmhouse at the beginning of the 17th century,

when the Moncadas moved to Sicily from King of Spain's court.

It takes its name from one of the former owners,

the noble family that once owned it, Donna Luisa.

 

 

 

It has now been home to the Augello family since 1973,

who have renovated the villa and its magnificent gardens, 

 surrounded by over 70 hectares of wheat fields and  olive groves.

 

 

The estate features an astonishing courtyard, where you can have your welcome drinks,

oyster bar, caviar blinis and numerous other canapés, freshly prepared in front of you

 in typical Italian style "Angoli del gusto", or Aperitivo corners.

 

 

This is, in fact, the most popular Italian tradition of starting a party,

or a wedding reception in a more informal way: the Italian equivalent "happy hour".

It gets your guests relaxing and mingling over prosecco,

signature cocktails complemented by the most mouthwatering nibbles.
