The whole castle developes around the beautiful courtyard. Wonderful sample of medieval architecture, it's generally the central point of every summer event; till 220 people comfortably seated can fit in it. On demand we can also cover the courtyard with transparent movable roofing, that don't prevent the charme of the location. From the courtyard it's possible to reach the internal halls, all heated, that can contain till maximum 330 people.
The castlehas an equipped kitchen. the quality of the courses is in no way inferior to that of very titled restaurants. We want (as you want) the quality of the service and the cooking to be part of our high quality standards. Our best advertising is that made by all the client that in the past were here to Il palagio. In case in the future one of our catering companies should "relax" we'll take care to remove it from collaborations.
Buffet or table service; brunch or gala dinner, Reinassance dinner or incentives events: for all the services we have a lot of proposals to offer for surprising your guests and make the event unique and unrepeatable. If you wish to have a candle light dinner, we'll light the candle with hundreds candles and torches, while fireworks will be the frame of the wedding cake's cutting in the garden, lit according to your requirements by our light designer.
For those people who are fond of fine wines, we can organize guided tours in the underground cellars of the castle (on demand lit only with candles), where it's possible to arrange tasting points. For the youngest guests, we could arrange a room just for them helped by very referenced baby sitters and children entertainers It's also possible to set up easily music entertainments, since our castle is located in open country and therefore, unless in case of very powerful music equipment, music can go on till very late... We can take care of decorations and flowers' set up, music antertainments and background, transfer and all the other services that you may need...also the most unusual!
Obviously the castle is also the right place for vernissages, art expositions, concerts, summer theatrical performances.
