Villamena Reviews

If you are looking for an unforgettable wedding experience, book Villamena.

My wife and I were married at Villamena this spring. We were looking for a venue that would allow us to host our friends and family on site, help us explore Assisi and the countryside, and be a very special place to get married. Villamena was all of that and more.

We rented the villa for four days leading up to our wedding and used it as an excuse to invite our friends out for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. Raffaella and her team made the entire process incredibly easy. They have a selection of events to choose from and took care of essentially all of the planning. It made our five day celebration fun and easy – it was clear as soon as we arrived that we could just sit back and enjoy all of the events without taking care of any last minute planning.

As to the week itself, first and foremost, the food that they served us was fantastic. Each evening, Villamena served us home cooked, three course meals with great wine. From the woodfire barbecue, to pizza, to pasta made from scratch, we were continually impressed with the quality of the food. The highlight was undoubtedly the wine tasting that Villamena arranged for us, which featured an impressive selection of Umbrian wines and cheeses, which was both delicious and helped us appreciate the region’s rich viticulture. And the villa was easily able to accommodate our guests’ dietary restrictions, making sure everyone had great food to eat that met their needs

Second, the lodgings were modern, updated, and exceptionally comfortable. Each apartment included a kitchenette, comfortable beds, and at least one antique piece from Raffaella’s family, lending them all a really special ambiance. The villa’s commitment to creating a comfortable environment was evident throughout.

To top it all off, the villa hosted our wedding on our final night, which was very special. The venue itself - overlooking the Italian countryside - was an amazing backdrop. Raffaella and her team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was flawless. The food was (somehow) better than what we had eaten during the week, including Raffaella’s special Villamena Tortelloni, a recipe that her family has passed down over generations. The cake was gorgeous, the DJ kept the celebration going with a great playlist, and Stefan kept the cocktails flowing. It was nothing short of spectacular.

We cannot recommend this villa or Raffaella highly enough. This was the perfect destination wedding. The combination of exceptional cuisine, beautiful surroundings, and an attentive team made it an absolute gem in Assisi. We hope to be back soon.

My husband (Belgian) and I (American) just celebrated the most amazing 3 day wedding weekend with about 80 guests. We currently live in Denmark and therefore needed a space where all of our friends and family (from multiple countries) could easliy gather and enjoy a long weekend together. We almost all stayed at Villamena or nearby at Sole Luna and Nizzi. The weekend was perfect! The venue was even more beautiful than we had imagined (we didn't see it before) and our guests kept asking how we found such a wonderful space. The meals were all delicious and Rafaella and Simona always know whats best to do- trust them. The drinks and bar were flowing all weekend, big thank you to the staff for all of your hard work! We had so much fun dancing until past 3am!

We had a gelato cart come on our "recovery day/ pool party" which was a big hit among guests- highly recommend! We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate our marriage, thank you Villamena for such wonderful memories!

Addl: Our guests loved visiting Assisi too- no one had really heard of it before and thought it looked like a postcard

We had our wedding at Villamena in July and it was better than we ever imagined! Rafaella, Simona and all of the staff were amazing and made our 3 days with all our friends and family more than we could have wished for.
We booked the venue without seeing it, and it was a risk worth taking as everything was perfect.
Even though the rain set in for some of the time we were there, we were confident that Rafaella and Simona would still make our wedding the best it could be - and they did. The flowers, food, scenery, accommodation, pool, the villamena cocktail and staff were some of the highlights for us. Thank you to all of the team. We wish we could do it all over again!

Our wedding in Villamena was the best time we've ever had!

Rafaella and her team took care of everything so we could relax and enjoy the weekend with our friends and family. Besides planning the wedding day, they also planned and executed a BBQ night to welcome our guests, a wine tasting with a very talented sommelier with great English and a pizza party.

Our guests took advantage of the facilities and arranged morning yoga by the pool with the fantastic view, a tennis tournament, a football tournament and trips to explore Assisi.

The apartments were nice (newly renovated), and the breakfast basket was a good way to welcome guests with some food (bread, biscuits, eggs, juice, Nutella etc.) and make sure they had something to eat as guests have travelled far. Throughout the days, guests could mingle at one of the terraces, in the garden and by the pool, or relax in their apartments, which was a nice way to accommodate guests' social preferences.

On the day of the party, the most beautiful flower decorations began to show up in the garden and at the dinner table. Villamena had speakers at their disposal for the ceremony. The reception, dinner, cake, and party went extremely well. We can recommend the DJ, who got the party started - and was good at including the songs we sent beforehand in his set. The bar was fabulous with a big selection of drinks.

Villamena was the perfect setting for our wedding, and we cannot recommend it enough.

Thank you, Rafallea and team for an unforgettable weekend.
