Castello di Gropparello

The castle of Gropparello is an old yet perfectly preserved fortress, which was built like an aerie on the top of a rock peak. From its terraces and towers it is possible to enjoy a breath-taking view on the cliff around the walls. Here you can be wrapped up in a truly enchanting and magical atmosphere. The nature around the Castle, with its bright and far-reaching landscape, gives it an air of mystery, just like being immersed in the old fairy tale of Rapunzel in her tower. The property is articulated into the Castle, with its park and its rocky walkways , and the Masseria (Farmhouse), where the services are located (such as the Restaurant, the Rose Pavilion, and the salon Loggia dei Leoni) and where it is possible to enjoy its patrimony of antique rose gardens and fruit trees (especially grapes and quince trees). Masseria and Corte dell'Ulivo The different spaces of the Castle's park are all joined by a picturesque gravel path, linking the Masseria to the Castle. In case it is necessary to travel such length by car, it is possible to drive on the main road and enter directly through the Castle's gate. The open spaces, wide and articulated, enable us to create a trail where the various stops can mark the different moments of the ceremony. This is very important to create an event that is rich, dynamic and full of surprises. Our goal is to make your time pass by lightly and to make each moment bespoke and tailored to your wishes. The invitees can put themselves at ease, enjoying every corner of the Castle and fully participating to all the moments of the celebration - the cocktails, the wedding lunch, the cutting of the wedding cake, and the dance afterwards. It is possible to arrange a light aperitif with cocktails in the Castle, so to reserve a space for the starters, for which we usually offer the Padiglione delle Rose (the Roses Pavilion). The Wedding Lunch or Dinner can be provided in the Loggia dei Leoni, or in the Sala Rossa (the Red Hall), with its authentic mediaeval feel. All halls are equally charming at night. The Wedding Cake represents a central moment in the celebration. We particularly treasure it both in its aspect and quality (hence why we decided to offer the services of our in-house cake designer) and in the context of its presentation. The celebration ends with the dance. The best location for this is the Castle's stone hall, whose walls are perfect to be covered with coloured lights. If desired, the Castle has plenty of outdoor spaces for the bride and groom's photos: from the wilder, more romantic spots, such as the walkways around the castle walls, to the wonderful rose gardens, where nature and art are combined to create spots of pleasures and delight. The atmosphere can be enhanced by beautiful night lights, whether with coloured lights or with Roman torches. We also propose bespoke Tableaux Mariage, which we can customise by working with drawings, gold-foil or embossing, for the most stunning results. The Tableau can be customised around specific themes - whether the honeymoon, or the couple's love story, or referring any image that they feel represented by. It can be coloured or black and white, in pencil, ink or watercolour, with or without golden embroidering. It can look like a painting or like a comic book. If the couple does not have a clear idea we are more than happy to participate in the search for an idea they will be satisfied with, even preparing free drafts to choose from. The cake and the 'confettata' (the Italian tradition of a buffet with confetti, typical sugared almond candy) are an important part of the Wedding banquet. Recently cake design has become a more and more present trend in our culture, and of course we, too, have found ourselves under its spell! From our laboratory we can create simple or more elaborated cakes, which we take care in customising exclusively for each event.

Castello di Vigoleno

We went to Castello di Vigoleno to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. We were looking for an elegant restaurant, one that could also serve good local cuisine. We were not disappointed. We were given the best table in the house in a soothingly lighted room. The table was handsomely appointed with flower centerpieces and classic tableware. The hosts were attentive just about the right amount, occasionally stopping by the table to check about the food. Every dish on the menu was flavorful and abundant and was paired with well-matched wines. We ended the meal with a delicate millefoglie cake, made just as we had requested. I give this restaurant 5 stars, they are well deserved!

Ponte Vecchio (Ponte Gobbo - Ponte del Diavolo)

Reviewed By giordanob301

This bridge is very special. It is of medieval origin (so it is interesting from a historical point of view). It is always open and access is free and free. As well as other famous bridges in Italy (for example the Rialto Bridge in Venice, infact the story behind is pretty similar) many stories hide behind its construction (in all these stories, of course, there is "The Devil", hence the name of the bridge). The devil promised to San Colombano the construction of the bridge in just one night (in the Middle Ages it took several years) ,but he would sacrifice the soul of the first person who would cross it. San Colombano made an animal (a dog or a bear, depending on the version) cross the bridge and the devil, because of rabies, kicked the bridge deforming it (so the name "ponte gobbo" ,hunchback bridge). In another version the demons (of different heights) who built the bridge were responsible for the shape. Many stories also involve the tavern on the other side of the bridge.In short, a beautiful place where fantasy and history blend perfectly.
