A Three-Day Italian Wedding Experience at Borgo di Tragliata
For Irish couples dreaming of a sun-kissed celebration in Italy, Borgo di Tragliata offers the perfect blend of history, charm, and warm hospitality. Located just outside Rome, this beautifully preserved hilltop village sits atop an ancient tufa cliff, overlooking rolling countryside and offering spectacular views only minutes from the Mediterranean.
What sets Borgo di Tragliata apart is its thoughtfully curated three-day Wedding Experience, designed to bring families and friends together for a celebration that unfolds with ease and joy. The festivities begin with a relaxed Welcome BBQ, giving guests the perfect opportunity to settle in, reconnect, and savour Italian flavours under the evening sky.
The second day is dedicated to the wedding itself. Couples may exchange vows in the Borgo’s own S. Isidoro Church, where an English-speaking priest conducts the Catholic ceremony, or choose a civil or symbolic celebration in the enchanting gardens. The reception continues in one of several atmospheric settings: the historic Cantina, elegant banqueting suite, panoramic terrace, or the Massello—an expansive indoor/outdoor space that captures the warm glow of the Roman sunset. As night falls, the celebration moves to the restored Theatre, a rustic barn transformed into a lively party space with a full bar and dance floor.
The final day brings a delightful Farewell Pizza Party in the courtyard of Bar Favole, the social heart of the Borgo. With delicious pizza, local drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to end a weekend filled with memories.
With 75 rooms, 16 apartments, two swimming pools, and capacity for up to 200 guests, Borgo di Tragliata offers comfort, authenticity, and a truly immersive Italian escape. Just 30 minutes from Rome’s airports, it’s an unforgettable destination for couples seeking not just a wedding day—but a wedding journey.
