Five Hundred years of history come alive in the halls and gardens of this castle at the gates of Rome.
Still owned by the original family, in the Fifties it was opened as a museum during the day.
Far from being cold and impersonal, this castle is lovingly kept and no expense has been spared to make it a comfortable setting for a wedding.
Close to Rome, on the shores of Lake Bracciano, this property is the finest private castle in Italy and a perfect example of a medieval castle. Spectacular costume events are still organized in its ancient halls.
This imposing, yet harmonious, fortified structure is not only an excellent example of military architecture, but the interior contains a series of highly refined living areas.
Because of these features, the halls, grounds and gardens, this lake venue has become the ideal setting for weddings and fashionable events.
