Seminars and company events
Casale 500 hosts conferences, product launches, team-building days and year-end parties, with a main hall seating 150 and several smaller rooms and gardens around a historic farmhouse. The estate is on Via di Valle Caia in Pomezia, south of Rome, between Pomezia and Ardea at the foot of the Castelli Romani hills.
The corporate offer covers conventions and conferences in equipped meeting rooms with technical support, press conferences and launch events for clients, and gala dinners or themed parties at the end of the year. Team-building activities draw on the farm itself: collecting eggs, making fresh pasta by hand, or hunting for truffles among the olive trees. Treasure hunts and creative workshops are also offered for larger groups.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main business. Civil ceremonies can be held on site, since the casale is approved by the municipality for them, and the team helps couples who want a religious service find a church nearby. Outdoor ceremonies take place on the Terrazza dei Limoni, in the vegetable garden or on the Dehor in front of the house, and the citrus courtyard is used for the antipasto buffet. The estate also runs a destination wedding service for couples coming from abroad.
Rooms and capacities
Sala 500 is the main hall, with 150 seats and a view over the inner courtyard garden. The Sala Scuderie occupies the former Torlonia stables, refitted in Provençal style for gala dinners, fashion shows and conferences. La Cascina, a converted farm shed, changes from ceremony room to meeting room to nightclub. The Giardino d'Inverno, next to the stables, serves for breaks between sessions. The Sale delle Cornici on the ground floor take small private events. Outdoors, the Dehor, the Corte degli Agrumi, the Orto and the Terrazza dei Limoni add space for welcomes, buffets, dinners and dancing. The website gives a seated figure only for Sala 500.
Accommodation
A 180-square-meter suite on the main floor, with a fireplace room and a reading room, is available on site. The website does not give a number of bedrooms, so groups that need overnight stays should ask the estate.
Catering
The kitchen is in-house. Menus follow the seasons and use vegetables from the estate garden and olive oil pressed from its own trees, and an in-house sommelier chooses the wines. For corporate events, catering is adapted to the format, from a working lunch to a gala dinner.
History and setting
The land has been farmed since Roman times, and the area once had medieval towers and castles. A 1660 land survey, the Catasto Alessandrino, already shows the casale much as it stands today. The property passed from the Pamphili family to the Torlonia, who restored it and added the two stables at the entrance. The Bizzarri family later turned it into an event venue.
Getting there
The estate is at Via di Valle Caia 29, 00040 Pomezia, a drive from central Rome and close to the coast. Rome's two airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino, are both within reach by car.
