Seminars and company events
Villa Palazzetti hosts company events for up to 120 guests between May and October: gala dinners, business meetings, product launches, Christmas dinners, workshops and team days. The villa stands on Via San Giorgio in Castel San Pietro Terme, in the province of Bologna, and is rented together with its own catering team, so one contact handles food, rooms and logistics.
For corporate clients the team styles each space to a brand, choosing lighting, furniture, set design and menus together. A house sound system is available for speeches and music, and outside audio technicians can be brought in when a program needs more. The list of services also covers show cooking, team building, entertainment, a DJ or live band, floral design, photography and video.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core part of the calendar. The villa can hold the whole day in one place: the ceremony, the reception, the cake cutting and the party in the dance room. The team provides flowers, decoration, music, photography and video, and the street food vans in the garden can serve as a relaxed aperitivo or a late-night food station. Birthdays, themed evenings and aperitifs with live music use the same setting.
Rooms and capacities
The maximum is 120 guests across the property. Inside, the villa has several independent rooms that can be used together or separately: a main hall, a hall on the garden side, a dance room and a games room fitted with a billiard table, darts, a vintage arcade cabinet and table football. Outside, a large garden takes long dining tables in summer and is lit after dark. The Street Food Garden is a setup of the house food trucks arranged in the garden for a themed outdoor meal.
Accommodation
The villa has no bedrooms. Guests who need to stay overnight book hotels in the area.
Catering
Catering is included and exclusive. The villa is only rented with its in-house catering service, linked to the Atmospherae catering brand, so outside caterers are not an option. Menus, show cooking and street food formats are planned with the same team.
History and setting
The estate goes back at least to the 18th century. Records cite the oratory of Sant'Anna in 1774, and the 1781 Boncompagni land register shows a house and an oratory on the road that is now Via San Giorgio. The lawyer Francesco Berni degli Antonj rebuilt the chapel from its foundations and enlarged the country house. His son Vincenzo, a lecturer at the University of Bologna and later a judge at the Bologna court of appeal, inherited the property. In the 1930s the oratory belonged to Francesco Biancani. Today the villa pairs its period rooms with an eclectic, informal decor.
Getting there
The address is Via San Giorgio 825, 40024 Castel San Pietro Terme, in the province of Bologna. Guests use the entrance on the garden side. Castel San Pietro Terme lies on the Via Emilia between Bologna and Imola and has a station on the Bologna to Rimini railway line. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi is the nearest airport.
