Villa Medici rents some of its spaces for private events, for a few hours or a few days. The offer covers conferences, congresses, wedding parties, dinners and cocktails, with up to 400 guests outdoors. The villa is a Renaissance palace with gardens and a panoramic view over Rome, and it is also an art residence and a heritage site open to visitors.
Seminars and company events
The villa lists conferences and congresses among the private events it hosts, along with dinners and cocktails. The spaces suit both large stagings and more intimate settings: reception rooms, great galleries, a cinema room, a loggia, a terrace with a view and the gardens. Indoor spaces have a smaller capacity than the outdoor ones, so give your headcount and your format in the request.
Each request is reviewed against the project and the availability of the spaces, and each needs the agreement of the villa's management. The event must be compatible with the villa's programming and activities, and with its technical rules.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding party is possible at Villa Medici. A religious ceremony cannot take place inside the villa grounds. For more details, use the contact form with the subject line for renting a space. Photo shoots are also among the events the villa accepts.
Rooms and capacities
The villa names the following kinds of space: reception rooms, great galleries, a cinema room, a loggia, a terrace with a view and gardens. The pages show the terrace of the bosco, the loggia, the belvedere and the garden squares. Events of up to 400 guests are possible outdoors. Many indoor spaces have a smaller limit, and the site does not list a figure for each.
The whole villa cannot be rented. Only certain spaces are available, because the villa serves a public service mission: it is a heritage site open to visitors, an artists' residence and a contemporary art center. The artists and researchers who live and work there must be able to move through its spaces freely, and the villa teams are on site on working days.
Catering
You may choose your own providers, but they must be approved by the villa. To simplify the organization, the villa can provide a list of providers it has already approved.
