Location: Civita di Bagnoregio, Lazio. Best for: Micro weddings (2-8 guests). Why we love it: the location of Civita speaks for itself (it’s one of the most beautiful village in Italy, a place that can be reached only on foot) and the surrounding countryside is absolutely beautiful – we realize this is starting to be a very common feature of venues in this list! – but here you can enjoy a very unique experience in their ancient caves and in their green terrace.

Location: Brissogne, Aosta Valley. Renovated barn. Best for: Elopements. Why we love it: ’cause it’s a really unique and beautiful structure!

The surrounding woods and nature make it a true dream elopement location!
11. Honorable mention! Il Parco del Grep
Location: Monteu da Po, Piedmont. Cabins, treehouses and tents! Best for: Elopements, micro weddings. Why we love it: we’re breaking the rules here: this is not an AirBnB listing! However, the place is truly awesome and unique: here you can sleep in actual treehouses and hanging tents, and your elopement will be truly delicious, thanks to the adjoining tiny restaurant that can be booked for an intimate dinner with up to 10 people!
