Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held outdoors on the resort. The ceremony takes place in the open grounds next to the atrium, with a view over the vineyards and olive groves. A welcome aperitif by the pool comes first, and the first dance can be on the pool terrace or in the Amfora restaurant hall. The official figures are 80 guests in the restaurant, 100 on its terrace and 350 in the wedding tent.
The resort also hosts family celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries and reunions, with lunch or dinner in the restaurant. For balloons and flowers, the team recommends a local decorator.
