My favourite castle!

Wonderful location, it can host weddings

Nice Castle but did not find entrance

If you are looking for the perfect wedding destination - look no further...you have just found it! The most difficult part of wedding planning was actually finding a place to marry. I am from Canada, my husband is from Austria and we live in England. It was going to be a tough choice - in the end, we decided on Italy in the end – the perfect combination between good food & wine and stunning landscapes.  We spent hours doing online research on various wedding venues throughout Italy, but due to our restrictions (size of our wedding being one of them) we were able to limit our list of venues down to 8 venues.  We flew across to Italy one weekend to do a 'roadshow' of these venues.  We started in Venice and travelled north.  Our second venue of the weekend was Castle Ivano in Ivano-fracena.  We met Sabrina, the events coordinator at the castle - she was incredible knowledgeable and she just understood immediately what we were looking for. As most couples do, we had big plans and big expectations and with Sabrina all of these and more were met.  She is so much more than an events coordinator at the castle, she is an organiser, a wedding planner, an idea generator and most importantly, in the end, a very good friend.  I started this review by saying that the most difficult part of wedding planning was finding a place to marry, and the reason for this is clearly is that because after we chose Castle Ivano Sabrina made everything so easy. My husband and I were able to have the wedding of our dreams at Castle Ivano.  It is a spectacular venue that can suit every budget.  It is a place that has the flexibility that you need to make your day exactly what you want.   It goes without saying that the backdrop and the setting of the castle is unparalleled.  In fact, it is a place from our dreams! We highly recommend this to any couple that are looking to design THEIR day.  This was a huge point for us, we did not want someone else's wedding - we wanted OUR wedding and we were able to get this at Castle Ivano.

What's life like living on the grounds of a castle? Well, when you visit Castel Ivano and the Terre del Lagorai winery housed there, you will quickly discover the intrigue. Pristinely manicured gardens welcome you as you meander up the gravel walking path. Once inside the entrance, enjoy a guided tour of the castle grounds and sip tantalizing wines at a wine tasting. As if there isn't enough in Trentino and Valsugano to entice you, this is a top-notch venue to soak in and savour.

This XV castle has been turned into an awesome Bed and Breakfast that has a little chapel and a great deck overlooking the valley below. If you want the grand tour of the castle, you'll have to call ahead.

We have been here for a wedding. The place is magic, and it was raining, I can not immagine how beautiful is with the sun. They made us a quick visit of the castle with the prisons and the winery. I would suggest it for events in general, the view is really nice from here.
