Honestly, my mother should write this review - she hasn't stopped telling me what a fairytale it…read morewas to experience 3 days of wedding festivities here, and it's been nearly two months since. That alone made me thrilled to have selected the Borgo for my wedding!
This beautiful farmstay is about 30 minutes from the city (Rome). Once you arrive, you can literally feel the mayhem of the city and any concerns just melt away. It's serene, it's lush, the air is fresh and the accommodations are comfortable. The entire staff are among the most accommodating hosts I've ever met and put me at total ease when making decisions, changing plans, or dealing with unexpected issues. They were also just incredibly kind to me, my husband, and our guests.
We got married at the end of December and it was still beautiful (especially the light at dusk), so I can only imagine how lush and romantic any other time of year is here. This is a charming location for a special event - they will accommodate a large or small party. The food was beyond delicious (especially because I hadn't eaten pasta, dairy, or sweets for months before arriving) and the wine was always fantastic (I think we depleted their stock;)). The farm area is set back from the buildings - about 5+ minutes walk following a path - and it was such a pleasure to greet the goats, chickens, pigs, and rabbits during a morning walk (also perfect if you have children with you).
Mind you, if you're considering the Borgo as a wedding venue, it's quite reasonably priced - and it's an experience you will never forget. In fact, we would have easily spent double to host our guests back in NYC for 1/3 of the time (we were there three days).
As you can tell, we're totally enchanted! In fact, our friends want to come back in a few years time to do it all again:)
