Meeting and event venues in Italy

Questions and answers

Which venues in Italy can host 100 guests or more?

28 of the 40 venues publish a capacity of 100 guests or more: Villa Medici, Villa del Balbianello, Palazzo Biscari, Villa Valmarana ai Nani, Palazzo Brancaccio, Palazzo Albergati, and 22 more.

Which venues in Italy have rooms for guests to stay?

None of these venues is a hotel: ask each events team about accommodation on site or nearby.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.
