This post is about the best wedding venues in Puglia Italy.
If you’re wedding planning a destination wedding in Southern Italy, look no further than Puglia. Situated near the heel of Italy, Puglia is perfect for those looking for modern ‘Masserias’, rustic surroundings with ancient olive trees, and sandy beaches. It really is the perfect setting to celebrate your wedding day.
Puglia is known for its historic architecture, five-star hotels, incredible olive oil, and luxury weddings. You will find that most of the wedding venues in Puglia are masserias. These are traditional farmhouses usually set on hectares of olive groves that have been renovated into luxury hotels.
With the best venues in Puglia becoming more and more popular in recent years, expect prices to continue to rise.
There are endless masserias to choose from in Puglia, but here are our top 15 wedding venues in Puglia Italy.
1. Masseria Torre Coccaro
Starting the list of Puglia wedding venues off strong with Masseria Torre Coccaro. This is a family-run Masseria that dates back to the 16th Century when it was a fortified farmhouse. It is just a short distance from the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.
Torre Coccaro has 12 beautifully renovated rooms with whitewashed walls, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves. The villa has a gorgeous pool – perfect for a post-wedding pool party.
This property has 12 rooms and requires a 3-night minimum stay. It is quite a rare exception for a luxury Masseria in that you can do an event there without an overnight stay. They charge a ceremony fee for this.
2. Castello Marchione
The grand estate of Castello Marchione is an incredible place for your wedding ceremony. This 14th Century castle with its towers, intimate chapel, vaulted ceilings and Roman arches sets a romantic backdrop for weddings. It is the perfect venue for a unique experience and fairytale moment.
3. Masseria Moroseta
With its huge following on social media, you might already be familiar with Masseria Moroseta. Moroseta is without a doubt my favourite Puglia wedding venue. It’s known for its modern and minimalist design. This Masseria sits on the edge of Ostuni – a quaint historic town in Puglia.
Although the design is modern, Moroseta blends superbly with the rustic surroundings of olive groves and lush gardens. Like many of these luxury masserias, Moroseta pairs up with private beach clubs – guests can book out these spaces to host wedding events like rehearsal dinners or welcome parties. This way you can soak in the kilometres of coastline.
If Moroseta is slightly out of your budget or you’re looking for a more intimate wedding, check out these similar high-end Masserias La Piccola and Residenza. Note that all venues require a minimum 7-night stay.
4. Masseria Don Luigi
