The property consists of 8 apartments and 2 independent villas, carefully furnished and distributed throughout the estate, with a total capacity of 44 beds, plus 8 additional sofa beds. This configuration makes Fattoria Antica an ideal solution for large groups wishing to stay together while maintaining comfort, privacy, and independence.
Within the property, several indoor and outdoor spaces are available, thoughtfully designed to harmoniously host every phase of an event: from the ceremony to the aperitif, from the dinner to the evening party and open bar. The variety of settings allows for smooth space management, adapting to the logistical and stylistic needs of each individual event.
The property does not work with an exclusive catering service; therefore, guests are free to choose their preferred caterer, ensuring maximum customization of the culinary experience (please note that hiring external chefs or external catering companies is only possible if communicated to and approved by the owner in advance).
