Common questions
Answers to the questions most couples ask before enquiring.
Villa Mediterranea — wedding venue in Sorrento, Amalfi Coast
Villa Mediterranea's origins reach deep into the cultural history of the Sorrentine Peninsula, occupying a site within the ancient walls of Sorrento that has been significant for centuries. The property's various garden areas preserve tangible connections to different historical periods, from the Pompeian-era canopies and frescoes of the Area Pompeiana to the Renaissance grandeur of the Scalinata Rinascimentale staircase.
Through the centuries, the villa and its extraordinary secret garden evolved into one of the most important private estates on the Amalfi Coast. The 20,000 square metre garden was cultivated with rare plants, centuries-old cypress trees, and the sweet-smelling lemon groves that are synonymous with Sorrento. Each area was designed to evoke a different atmosphere, from the mythological to the romantic, creating a garden journey that few other venues in southern Italy can match.
