Basilicata wedding venues

The Best Wedding Venues in Basilicata, from Matera to the Countryside

Looking for the best wedding venues in Basilicata, Italy?

Basilicata is southern Italy at its most cinematic: pale stone, wheat fields, olive groves and ancient villages, with Matera’s remarkable Sassi carved into the hillside. It has all the warmth and beauty of neighbouring Puglia, but feels quieter, wilder and rather less discovered.

Our edit begins with Masseria Fontana di Vite, a historic country estate just outside Matera. Golden fields and a four hectare olive grove surround the masseria, creating the sort of private, slow paced setting that suits a long Italian wedding weekend beautifully.

Celebrations can move between the historic chapel, gardens, pool and stone courtyard. Picture aperitivo beside the water, dinner beneath a canopy of lights and dancing that carries on long after dessert. With 19 guest rooms, an on site restaurant and space for celebrations of up to 250 people, the estate works particularly well for couples who want everyone gathered in one place.

Bari Airport is the most convenient international gateway. If guests are staying in Matera, arrange shared transport to the masseria rather than relying on separate taxis.
