Hotel and Villa Antiche Mura, Sorrento Wedding Packages

The Hotel and Villa Antiche Mura is located just over 30 miles from Naples in the heart of historic Sorrento on the Amalfi coast. Situated in Empoli, famous for the first production of the iconic straw-bottomed green bottle, the Chianti Fiasco (flask), and also the home city of Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924), pianist and composer of the opera “Doktor Faust”. This truly is a prime location for a wedding destination. You cannot visit Italy without taking a wine tasting tour, so take advantage of the half-day small group tour and discover the beauty of the Tuscan wine country as you drive through the cypress trees, olive groves and vineyards. Visiting two wineries, you will discover the secrets of winemaking and sample the different wines and olive oil that are paired with local Tuscan specialities. Head over to the Piazza Farinata Degli Uberti, a medieval square that boasts galleries, wide porches and monuments such as the facade of the "Fountain of the Lions", and the Romanesque Collegiate Church dating back to the 19th-Century. This historical town also houses the Palazzo del Podesta (Praetorian Palace), one of the most important civic buildings in Empoli. The palace was the ancient seat of the Municipality of Empoli and housed the Audience Hall, the archive and the prisons, together with the chapel of Saint Thomas with features such as the 15th-Century wooden door and clock tower.

Originally built in the 19th Century, the Hotel and Villa Antiche Mura is both enchanting and welcoming with a warm friendly atmosphere, and is a lovely example of the Belle Époque style made famous by Moulin Rouge.
