Breathtaking clifftop villa offering stunning sea views
A Villa Astor elopement package is for couples who want exclusive access to one of the most significant private properties on the Amalfi Coast.
Located in Sorrento, the villa is a protected museum and botanical garden.
This status means events are managed under strict protocols, including set timeframes for access.
Our role is to build a complete, seamless elopement that works perfectly within the venue’s required 3-hour rental for symbolic ceremonies.
Villa Astor is a premier venue on the Amalfi Coast; you can compare it with other Amalfi Coast elopement packages to find the right fit.
Our 2027 packages are built to include the venue’s required 3-hour exclusive rental fee plus all the essential services for a complete celebration for two. The starting price of €24,750 is based on a weekday symbolic ceremony and includes full planning to ensure every venue rule is met perfectly.

Our 2027 Villa Astor elopement packages start from €24,750. This price covers the venue's required 3-hour exclusive rental of the grounds, full planning, photography, and all essential suppliers for a symbolic ceremony for two.
Yes, up to a point. The venue’s elopement rental allows a maximum of 10 people total, including your suppliers (like the photographer and celebrant). We can provide a custom quote if you wish to add a few guests.
A legally binding ceremony is complex at Villa Astor as it is not an official town hall. We arrange a symbolic ceremony on-site, which has no legal standing but offers complete flexibility. For a legal wedding, we would coordinate a separate, brief civil ceremony at the Sorrento town hall beforehand.
Overnight accommodation is not included in the standard elopement package. However, it can be added as an optional extra, subject to availability and the venue's nightly suite rates.
For a prime venue like Villa Astor, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular dates. The venue's availability is limited, so early planning is essential to secure a date.
To begin planning your elopement at Villa Astor, contact us to check availability for your preferred 2027 dates.
We will confirm the villa’s availability for a 3-hour rental, provide a detailed proposal, and walk you through the booking process.
Our role is to secure the venue and manage every logistical detail on your behalf.
