Relais Roncolo 1888 | A Wedding Weekend in the Hills of Emilia-Romagna

Some places encourage you to see the destination. Relais Roncolo 1888 invites you to live it.

Set within a 320-acre organic estate in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna, this beautifully restored 17th-century retreat feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life. Vineyards, olive groves and woodland surround the estate, while centuries of history sit comfortably alongside thoughtful contemporary design, creating a wedding setting that’s relaxed, elegant and unmistakably Italian.

Available exclusively, the estate becomes your home for the weekend. Ceremonies unfold with sweeping views across the surrounding countryside before celebrations continue between elegant courtyards, historic villas and beautifully restored reception spaces. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration of up to 200 guests, every part of the estate feels designed to encourage guests to linger just a little longer.

With 17 individually designed rooms and suites, your closest family and friends can settle in for the celebrations rather than simply arriving for the day. Mornings begin slowly over breakfast, afternoons are spent by the pool or exploring the estate, and evenings naturally gather around exceptional food, local wines and conversations that stretch long into the night.

What makes Relais Roncolo 1888 particularly special is its connection to the region. The estate produces its own organic wines and traditional balsamic vinegar, while seasonal ingredients from the surrounding land regularly find their way onto the menu. Wine tastings, cellar visits and unforgettable meals become part of the wedding weekend itself, giving guests a genuine taste of one of Italy’s most celebrated food and wine regions.

Around an hour from Bologna, Relais Roncolo 1888 offers the feeling of disappearing into the Italian countryside without ever being difficult to reach. It’s the kind of place that reminds everyone why destination weddings are about so much more than the wedding day alone.
