Castello di Lispida can host company conventions, weddings, receptions and theatrical productions for up to 400 guests, indoors in historic halls or outdoors in a garden. The estate is a medieval castle rebuilt in the 19th century, set at Monselice in the Colli Euganei Natural Park, in the province of Padua.
Seminars and company events
The official site names company conventions among the uses of its large multifunctional spaces. Five event spaces are listed, in sizes from 60 to 400 seats, so a small board meeting and a full company gathering can both be planned on the same estate. The Refettorio del Monastero, with 220 seats, is described as a severe stone hall and suits a plenary session or a seated dinner. The Granaio, a granary with exposed wooden trusses, holds up to 400 seats.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the first use the site lists for the spaces. A ceremony and a reception can be placed in different settings: the Giardino, a tended garden with 400 seats, the Portico, which opens onto the inner garden with 110 seats, or the frescoed rooms of the Castello. The site presents the halls as divided into several sizes, so a smaller party and a large celebration use different spaces.
Rooms and capacities
- Il Castello: three ground-floor rooms with frescoed walls and antique furniture. The largest room is 14 m by 5.8 m and seats 70. The three rooms together seat 120, and the site gives 60 seats as the headline figure.
- Il Giardino: garden, 400 seats.
- Il Granaio: granary with wooden trusses, 400 seats.
