Since Villa Feltrinelli can only accommodate approximately 40 guests at a time, visitors can enjoy the beauty and solitude of the surroundings without intrusions.

There are no special facilities for children, nor is there a fitness center — two more good reasons for guests to truly relax here.

Note: Out of consideration to other guests, couples who insist on bringing children to Villa Feltrinelli will not be housed in the main villa but in one of the guest houses on the property.

Weddings at Villa Feltrinelli

The Villa can accommodate small wedding parties. Its boat house is a popular venue and the Villa’s private dining room, which seats up to 14 guests around the original family table, provides an extraordinary setting for a reception or rehearsal dinner lit by an enormous crystal chandelier.

Walls are covered in a fabric hand painted with baskets of figs, a traditional symbol of fertility.

The Villa also houses a private wine cellar, which can accommodate up to eight people. As a wedding activity, guests can enjoy a private wine tasting.
