Trust us, we know what we’re talking about when we say that an elopement in Piedmont in a beautiful countryside villa is the perfect way to celebrate your love for each other in a romantic and intimate setting! The stunning views, delicious cuisine, and rich culture of this region make it the perfect destination for an unforgettable elopement. So why wait? Plan your dream elopement today and start your life together in this beautiful and romantic corner of the world.
In case you don’t know what we’re talking about: Piedmont, a beautiful corner of the northwestern part of Italy, is known for its rolling hills, vineyards, and charming towns, making it the perfect backdrop for a stunning elopement. In Piedmont, you don’t want to miss the famous world-class wines, such as Barolo and Barbera, and traditional cuisine, which includes dishes like truffles, polenta, and risotto.
Moreover, Piedmont is rich in history and culture, and there are many activities and sights to see in the area, so your elopement will easily transition into the honeymoon vacation of your dreams! You can take a wine tour and visit some of the famous wineries, go on a truffle hunt, or explore charming hilltop towns such as Barolo and Barbaresco. And if you love the great outdoors, there are also many opportunities for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding in the region. Here on the Lonely Planet website you will find even more reasons to make Piedmont the perfect setting for your Italian elopement!
Piedmont has many beautiful wedding venues (here’s some!) as well as some cozy and charming Airbnbs – check out some we featured in this post about Airbnb weddings! However, in our opinion La Villa Hotel in Mombaruzzo definitely stands out from the crowd as one of the very best wedding and elopement venues in Piedmont.
Surrounded by acres of vineyards and rolling hills, which will certainly provide a serene and peaceful environment for your elopement, La Villa is a beautiful, historical building that has been renovated to include modern amenities while still retaining its charming character. La Villa has a spacious, luxurious and lovely furnished rooms, as well as beautiful gardens, a courtyard and a pool area with a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. There’s even a newly added spa, which is perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area together.
One of the highlights of eloping in Piedmont is the opportunity to enjoy the local cuisine. The villa has a private chef who can prepare a delicious, gourmet meal for you, featuring local ingredients and traditional recipes. This will undoubtedly be a highlight of your elopement: after an intimate ceremony in a special spot overlooking the vineyards, you will be able to dine in the elegant dining room, or under a tiny private porch.
Each time we happen to photograph an elopement at La Villa Hotel, we just can’t be happier! As you probably know by now, we are huge fans of La Villa’s beautiful setting and relaxed vibe, and we truly love the intimate feeling and the relaxed pace of an elopement. In the photos below, you will see what we mean! This day spent with Celene and Sean was very emotional, cool and relaxed, and we really enjoyed being with them: they are a lovely couple with a long and touching love story, coming to Italy to finally say yes, in the most intimate and romantic way ever, after many years together.
Enjoy their pictures and the beautiful video made by the talented Valovideo wedding.
