A historic villa in Umbria for unforgettable weddings

Let’s stay in Umbria, a region filled with unparalleled views, perfect for a nature-inspired wedding. Located between Perugia and Assisi, in the village of San Martino in Campo, lies a historical residence of rare beauty: Posta Donini 1579 | UNA Esperienze.  This venue offers a unique blend of culture, luxury, and abundant greenery, with the option to stay in a villa of your choice. Villa Costanza is ideal for those seeking an authentic historical atmosphere and Villa Laura is perfect for those who desire a touch of modernity.

The 48 rooms stand out for their refined interiors, featuring 18th-century doors, exposed beams, and frescoed ceilings. There is also a special room: Junior Suite 103. Once the dining room of the Donini family, it’s now home to 18th-century frescoes from the school of Francesco Appiani.

And what about the outdoor spaces? Relaxation, well-being and contact with nature are guaranteed by the more than two hectares of parkland surrounding the Posta Donini, with majestic trees, winding paths, and a romantic woodland accessible by small bridges that evoke a fairy tale. The setting is further enhanced by the imposing centuries-old cedar tree in the Italian-style garden.
