Please join us on 12 June 2027 at Villa Bissiniga, Salò, as we begin this next chapter together. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

We appreciate that a destination wedding might not be easy, so we have created this website to hopefully make it as smooth as possible. Here you will find the programme, information on how to best get to the location, a list of accommodations close by the venue, and a guide with tips for sightseeing and restaurants in case you are planning to make a holiday out of it. For anyone who is around on Friday night already, we are organising a pizza party at the venue for all our guests.

For our friends with children, we welcome you to bring your little ones along and enjoy the day together! We'll have a supervised play area with babysitters, so both children and grown-ups can make the most of the day.

Dresscode: First and foremost, we want you to wear something you feel comfortable and confident in. That said, if there's ever a reason to dress up, this is it! We'd love you to bring out your fanciest and most colourful outfit for the occasion, dress to impress! That sparkly jumpsuit, bold suit or fabulous dress that's been waiting for the right moment? This is it! Feathers, sequins, glitter, capes... all is fair game. Just keep in mind that Italy in June might be hot.

We're so excited to celebrate our wedding with our favourite people!

Accommodation

There is a lot of accomodation in the same street, and a couple streets down the road towards town. Some of these are on booking.com, but it’s worth having a look on Google Maps as well as you might have to book on their website, or give them a call. Some places have not yet opened their bookings for next season, and will open their bookings late August/early September.

Below are some accommodations that are in the same street. Other accommodations in the town centre of Salò are about a 30 minute walk from the venue.

Travel tips

Below we’ve tried to make a list of recommendations for anyone who’s planning to make a holiday out of their trip to Italy, from closest to farthest away from the venue.

Sirmione (& Desenzano del Garda)

If you have some time to explore the area around Lake Garda, make sure to pay a visit to Sirmione. It's set on a narrow peninsula jutting into the water, with a castle, lovely little streets, and some of the best views on Lake Garda. At the very top of the peninsula Jamaica Beach offers shaded spots next to the water where you can rent a stretcher for €15 a day and relax all day long. For dinner we can recommend the nicely hidden Osteria al Torcol. We recommend you go to Sirmione during the week, as during the weekend it can get VERY busy. Close by you can find also Desenzano del Garda (birthplace of the groom’s mother!), wich is worth to visit if you have half a day to spare!

Verona

Verona is one of those cities that just feels effortlessly Italian. Beautiful buildings, lovely squares, and excellent food around every corner, its atmosphere inspired Shakespeare and acted as setting to his iconic Romeo & Juliet. It's close enough for a relaxed day trip, and we'd absolutely recommend adding it to your itinerary if you have the time. Make sure to stop by the Arena, a roman theatre 40 years older than the Coliseum in Rome, and if you have time, walk up to Castel San Pietro, from where you get a panoramic view of the whole city.

For a spritz with a beautiful view, you can stop at Terrazza Bar al Ponte. If you want to explore the local cuisine and are up for a slightly more upmarket lunch or dinner, have a stop at Caffè Monte Baldo.

Valpolicella

If you're looking for an excuse to drink good wine in the sunshine, this is it. The Valpolicella region is just a short drive away and is famous for its stunning red wines, like Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso and Amarone. There are plenty of wineries around that offer wine tastings, and even dinners where the wine is part of the dishes served (like Massimago Wine Relais).

Milan

Milan is the heart of Italy’s economy and fashion industry, but behind the industrious residents and the luxury, there is a beautiful city to discover. You can walk from Parco Sempione towards Piazza del Duomo, passing by Castello Sforzesco, or enjoy an aperitivo at bustling Navigli. Its central location (and great international connection) makes it easy to reach and gives also easy access to several sightseeing places around it, from Lake Como to Lake Garda.

Alps/Dolomites

Salò lies just beneath the beginning of the Alps range, and offers easy access for those who would like to escape the heat and seek refuge amongst the highest mountains in Europe. If you’re looking for the most stunning landscapes and amazing hiking routes, no place is better than the Dolomites, a little further East (3/4h drive) but definitely worth the time.

Padova

If you have some extra time, give Lorenzo’s home city a visit! It has a lovely city centre with cosy squares lined with small bars and local restaurants. You can explore some real gems, like the Scrovegni Chapel, chock-full of murals from 1305 by famous painter Giotto, or the Botanical Garden, active since 1545. If you have multiple days, the hills just south of Padova (Colli Euganei) are a beautiful place for a relaxing hike and a taste of a local specialties like pasta with boar ragù.

Venice

We know Venice is not directly around the corner, but it’s one of the places we love most and we have some tips that we cannot not to share with you! Try to avoid Venice on the weekends, and weave through the side streets instead of the main street to avoid the biggest crowds.

If you want the real local experience and like a drink, carve out an afternoon for a bàcaro tour. All you do is walk around the city while stopping at tiny bars (bàcari) for a small glass of wine and a cicheto, a small snack on the side often in the form of sliced baguette topped with fresh local ingredients.. Find our Google Maps list of Bàcari here (One of our favourites is Osteria Al Squero where you can watch the gondola makers across the canal!). For a dinner, we loved Ristorante Antica Mola.

If you have ample time in Venice, make sure to take the ferry to the islands of Murano and/or Burano. Burano is one of our favourites.
