we love...
That the Count still lives here, greeting couples himself and sharing stories from the villaโs three centuries of family history – it gives the whole place a wonderfully lived-in, quietly cinematic charm you donโt find anywhere else.

What's so special about Villa Gallici Deciani?
Villa Gallici Deciani | A 17th-Century Family Estate in the Friuli Hills
Perched on a quiet hilltop in northern Italy – within easy reach of Venice and a stoneโs throw from Austria and Slovenia – Villa Gallici Deciani feels like stepping into another world entirely.
A 17th-century family estate thatโs stayed in the same bloodline for over 300 years, it doesnโt play the hotel game; itโs a private home that occasionally opens its doors to couples who want something a little more soulful than a traditional venue.
The setting is pure northern-Italian magic: 20 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woodland, with the Alps rolling softly in the background. Thereโs a warmth here you canโt manufacture – the kind that comes from generations of family gatherings, stories, and celebrations held within these walls. For almost forty years, the Deciani family has welcomed guests from around the world with a style of hospitality thatโs relaxed, generous and instinctively Italian.
The spaces drift between grand and beautifully understated: manicured gardens for long outdoor dinners, a sun-soaked pool terrace, a ballroom that still carries its historic glow, and the barchessa – the villaโs arched portico, which feels effortlessly cinematic for ceremonies or late-night dancing. Inside, expect original frescoes, mosaic floors and antiques that look as though theyโve been collected slowly, lovingly, over centuries.
With 12 bedrooms and suites (sleeping up to 24 guests), the villa is made for weekend-long celebrations where everyone feels at home. Boutique hotels in the surrounding villages offer extra rooms for the rest of your party.
If youโre drawn to places with soul – the kind of venue that feels discovered rather than booked. Villa Gallici Deciani delivers something rare: a wedding thatโs intimate, deeply personal, and irresistibly Italian.
Nearest Airports: Villa Gallici Deciani is located in an easily accessible location for your wedding guests travelling in from abroad โ just 1 hr 26 min (133 km) from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE).

Transportation
Italy has plenty of public transport, from the trains to the metro in cities like Milan. The roads (and Italian drivers) are notoriously terrifying for foreigners so itโs often better to take a taxi than hire a car.
Public Holidays
Each town in Italy has it's own patron saint and shuts down to celebrate the saintโs day each year (e.g. Rome is Sts. Peter and Paul, June 29th). Alongside Christmas and Easter, the other big religious festivals are Epiphany (6th January) and All Saints Day (1st November). All of Italy celebrates Labour Day (1st May) and also Liberation Day (April 25th).
