Important Venue Facts
Villa Astor is a protected landmark, and its rules are not negotiable. Understanding these realities is the key to a smooth event.
- Access: The primary access for guests is by sea to the villa’s private dock. Land access is via a narrow, restricted road in Sorrento. All transport logistics must be professionally managed.
- Timing & Exclusivity: The elopement package includes a 3-hour exclusive rental of the grounds. This is typically available Monday through Thursday, with a supplement for weekend dates.
- Ceremony Spaces: The grounds offer several beautiful terraces and gardens for a ceremony. The interior is a museum, and its use is highly restricted. Any decor requires prior approval.
- Strict Rules: All suppliers must be on the venue’s approved list. Smoking is forbidden inside and in most outdoor areas, with penalties starting at €10,000. Using the kitchen or moving furniture incurs significant extra fees. Our planning process manages all these rules for you.
