A 17th-Century Convent Wedding in Umbria.

A 17th-century former Benedictine convent on five hectares of parkland and sacred woodland above the Tiber Valley, San Pietro sopra le Acque holds up to 180 guests across its chapel, garden arch, cloister and grounds. All 15 rooms are kept exclusively for the wedding party, and the estate asks nothing of the world outside its ancient walls.

Five Hectares, One Wedding.

San Pietro sopra le Acque hosts one wedding at a time, reserving the entire estate for the celebration. Couples marry in the chapel, under the garden arch, at the nymphaeum or among the roses, and celebrate in the cloister courtyard and across the grounds, with in-house Umbrian cuisine by Chef Michele and a team that has guided couples through multi-day celebrations for years. All 15 rooms are theirs alone. Pricing is offered on enquiry.

From the Stone Oven to the Cloister Table.

Chef Michele builds wedding menus from the valley around him: Umbrian truffles, estate olive oil, morning-made pasta. Events run from the wood-fired welcome pizza night through the formal cloister banquet and on to the farewell brunch in the morning garden, with wine pairings from three Umbrian estates.

Five Centuries of Accumulated Quiet.

Beyond the convent walls lie five hectares that include a sacred wood threaded with paths, Italian gardens, a rose garden, ancient cypresses and a grove of olives. Couples use the grounds for wedding portraits from dawn to dusk, and the natural backdrops, stone arches, tunnel walkways, open meadows, require nothing added.
