16/06/2026: Wonderful location just a few kilometers from Rome, surrounded by mountains and with views as far as the eye can see. Traditional, quality food.
The pool in summer is the icing on the cake.
07/06/2026: This is what the staff at Tenuta La Salvia did for us: they not only ensured the beauty and care for our wedding day, but they did it with all their heart, lending a different light to what could have been a simple and precise service for our wedding reception. For this reason, I will spend more words than a normal review would require.
We got married on October 21, 2023, and we were warmly welcomed from the first day we arrived to see the venue.
The first thing that strikes you is the enchantment you experience as you drive up the road that leads to the estate, the breathtaking views you can admire from there (we are in the heart of Sabina), and a sense of care and cleanliness throughout the location, which was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our wedding: that elegance that doesn't have to fight to be seen because it is authentic.
We were guided through every detail: from seating arrangements, table settings, menus, space management, plan A and plan B, music, cake, timing, and decorations. I'll just say that we were welcomed to hand over the final tableau cards and favors until the evening before the ceremony, and throughout the preparations, there was never a shortage of excellent food and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.
Not to mention the attention to detail with which the menu was chosen. We did two rehearsals: the first with our parents and the second closer to the date to sample the seasonal products and carefully select the courses. Yes, because a plus of the Tenuta is certainly that most of the products are home-grown, from the olive oil from the surrounding olive trees (chosen right from the start as a favor) to the homemade pasta with seasonal vegetables.
A final mention of the staff's kindness: for our wedding, we had 180 guests and we were at risk of rain, given that it was October. The day was beautiful, but it had rained the day before, so we couldn't use the still-wet part of the garden. So the staff, knowing how much we'd love to enjoy the outdoors, welcomed us into the wonderful courtyard in front of the room, allowing us to fully enjoy all the spaces. Another strong point of the venue is this space itself: it feels like a small piazza, catapulting you into the atmosphere of a small village, with the fairy lights overhead, the stone fountain, and olive trees as a backdrop. It was the perfect area for the cake and the dance. Speaking of the dance, we ended up dancing in the rain, and it was surprisingly awesome; we couldn't have asked for anything better.
At this point, I can only personally thank Domenico, Eleonora, Antonio, and the entire staff, who not only always welcomed us with a smile and great sensitivity, but who, even when we returned soaking wet, never once bothered us and let us dry ourselves with the leftover tablecloths from the table setting.
Two final points: the venue is so beautiful that there's no need for elaborate floral decorations because it already shines, leaving plenty of space, thanks also to the large windows and the surrounding nature that takes center stage. That's precisely why we didn't need to look for other places to take photos because there's so much to choose from, with olive trees, pomegranate trees, and enchanting landscapes all around.
Thank you. Thank you because it's one of our favorite places, and we didn't just bond because we celebrated our wedding there, but because it truly deserved it!
