Villa Dino hosts corporate events, conferences, weddings and private parties on the Via Appia Antica in Rome, inside the Appian Way park. Its indoor spaces can receive up to 500 guests, and a private park of 6,000 m2 extends the event outdoors. The villa has an internal kitchen and works with selected banqueting companies.
Seminars and company events
The villa describes itself as suited to company events, meetings, incentives, team building, conferences and product launches. Corners can be customized, and the team works with national audio and video service companies. The two large multifunction halls and the park allow a conference in the morning and an outdoor cocktail or dinner after it, on the same site.
Team building is a strong part of the corporate offer. Formats listed on the site include a literary mystery game, in which staff arrive as investigators and teams solve clues about a stolen manuscript. Another is a challenge themed on the Roman Empire, with tests of strength, skill and creativity scored by teams. A third has teams shoot a short film set in ancient Rome, taking roles from direction to costumes.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the villa's main business. The Romanesque colonnade, visible on entering, is used for outdoor ceremonies. The villa offers two large interior halls and a park with cypress and olive trees, a fountain with water features, lawns and flowers. A terrace by the pool is also part of the site. The ground-floor hall holds up to 200 guests and opens onto the portico and a large lawn garden, so guests move between rooms without steps. Couples can compose wedding menus with the selected banqueting teams, who cook in the villa's kitchen.
Rooms and capacities
The official figures are: interior spaces for up to 500 guests, a ground-floor hall for up to 200 guests, two large multifunction halls, one pool-side terrace and 6,000 m2 of park. The site offers a downloadable floor plan and a virtual tour so you can check layouts before a visit. Large windows light the halls, and in summer the French doors open onto the two side gardens.
Catering
