VILLA SORGIVA
Tagliolo monferrato
10/12/2025: Want to host a party with friends in comfort and tranquility? Avoid Villa Sorgiva.
23/09/2025: Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you make, and unfortunately, we realized in hindsight that we'd made a mistake in choosing Villa Sorgiva for our June 23, 2024 reception.
From the beginning, the owners, Stefano and Filippo, seemed more profit-oriented than successful.
This feeling, though initially put aside, was unfortunately confirmed over the months and, even more so, on our wedding day.
Biggest disappointments:
• Unusable pool: One of the main reasons we chose the venue more than a year in advance was the possibility of using the pool the day after the ceremony. Despite repeated reassurances and our constant requests for updates over the course of a year, the pool wasn't fixed in time (it was already out of order a year earlier). Their promises proved completely hollow, leaving us deeply disappointed just one week before the wedding.
• Lack of professionalism and support: On our wedding day, guests (friends and family) were forced to set up the tables, place cards, and seating charts themselves because the preparations hadn't been completed (we actually waited in the car for about 30 minutes without knowing what was happening; friends informed us the following days). Such sloppy organization on the part of someone managing an event of this magnitude is simply unacceptable. For those who had rooms, no directions were provided, forcing our guests to search for them themselves in the apartment complex.
• Inappropriate management behavior: The lack of professionalism was also evident in the behavior of one of the organizers in particular. We have witnesses (including the groom himself) of how he took the wedding cake directly from the plates intended for the guests. Furthermore, the same person was seen repeatedly (and significantly) drinking from the open bar during the speeches of the groomsmen and the bride and groom (the open bar was directly behind the speeches, so it remained in the photos). Such behavior is a clear sign of carelessness and disrespect for the couple, the event, and their guests.
• Surprisingly poor service and attention: The rain made the lack of a solid plan B even more evident. The villa has tremendous potential, but unfortunately, they don't take care of it: the lawn, for example, hadn't been mowed for the day of the event, despite us having informed them of our intention to take photos inside the venue.
• The positive side:
Despite everything, the dinner and catering service were of good quality. Unlike many other venues, they allowed us to party until late, but you'll understand that with the myriad of professionals, services, and costs involved for such an important date, these two positive points alone don't cover the mistakes, shortcomings, and inadequacies in the management.
The real saving grace was the presence and warmth of our friends and family (as well as the other professionals chosen, especially the DJ and photographer), whose affection made us forget, for a while, all the organizational issues.
Our advice:
If you're planning your wedding, we recommend always listening to your instincts. A little inner voice told us something wasn't right, but we chose to trust people. In hindsight, we would have preferred to rely on more credible and knowledgeable professionals (check out the reviews on other platforms for yourself).
In conclusion, while the affection of our guests made our day special, the experience with Villa Sorgiva was a source of great stress and disappointment. We wouldn't recommend it for such an important event.

Ristorante Malo
Alessandria
26/04/2025: Sia piatti tradizionali che piatti originali, entrambi ottimi, in un locale particolare, ottimo servizio. Consigliato!
25/04/2025: È stata una bellissima esperienza, inaspettata ma entusiasmante. Un menu insolito e al tempo stesso tradizionale, la fusione equilibrata tra innovazione e consuetudine. La location è curata, anch’essa particolare, un locale che si affaccia su una veduta collinare perfetta. Per concludere, ma avrei dovuto metterli per primi, i Proprietari che ci hanno accolti non come clienti ma come Ospiti! Solitamente mi piace sperimentare e cambiare, ma questo locale rimane nella lista delle cose che vorrò ripetere.
