Why a wedding at Casale Doria Pamphilj is so sought after?
This magnificent venue is located in an ancient village outside of Rome. The Casale is located within the historic Doria Pamphilj estate surrounded by nature set in the picturesque landscapes of the Roman countryside.
It was purchased by Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj, sister of Pope Innocent X and administrator of the Pamphilj estate. A carefully restored old granary has now become an intimate shabby-chic style location ideal for receptions, business meetings and short relaxing breaks in Rome. It is possible to celebrate civil wedding ceremonies in Rome, in a secluded romantic corner of the garden or by the pool, with the magical sunsets that light up the hills of Lazio as the backdrop.
