Forte Sorgnano In Gualdo cattaneo

An oasis of peace and tranquility, that's how I'd describe it. To get there, you have to travel the last few kilometers along a dirt road, but it's totally worth it. Once you enter, the wow effect is guaranteed. It's stunning: the landscape, the building, the various spaces, everything is beautiful, well-maintained, and well-managed. Furthermore, Marco is an excellent host, helpful and incredibly kind. You can light a fireplace in your own little house and dine in their restaurant. The dinner was also wonderful; everything was delicious and meticulously cared for, we felt truly pampered. The waiter was also very friendly and sweet with my children. Thank you for everything, it was a wonderful experience!

I honestly don’t think we could’ve chosen a better venue. When we first started planning, we were completely overwhelmed (in the best way) - there are so many venues out there now. We must have looked at hundreds online before narrowing it down and flying out to Italy to view six in person. And then we found Sorgnano… and it just ticked every single box. Not only is it absolutely stunning, with the most breathtaking views, a gorgeous Plan B option inside (which is just as beautiful as outside), and the ability to have all of our guests stay together in one place, which was really important to us. To add to that, because of how perfectly tucked away and peaceful Sorgnano is, that was never an issue - we could actually relax and enjoy the party without watching the clock. But as incredible as the venue itself is, what really made the whole experience was Marco. We planned everything over two years from the UK, and having him there throughout was an actual godsend. No question was ever too small (and I asked a lot), and he was always so responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind. You can just tell he really cares. We visited three times in total, first to see the venue, then for our food tasting (which was unreal), and finally for the wedding itself, and every single time it just felt better and better. By the time the wedding came around, we felt so comfortable and looked after, which made such a difference. Our guests are still talking about it. The whole two days, not just the wedding - how amazing the whole experience was, how out-of-this-world the food was (special mention to the truffle pasta, which I think about regularly), and just how beautiful the setting is. What really stood out was the flexibility, the ease of communication, and how supported we felt the entire time. Planning a wedding abroad could have been stressful, but they made it feel so easy and so enjoyable. It never ever felt transactional, it felt like they genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. And they gave us exactly that. We’d choose Sorgnano (and Marco) a million times over 🤍
