FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP by selecting "Will Attend" or "Will not Attend" on the website. We know this is a big decision - please take your time to think it over although the bias in us hopes you conclude that life is too short 🙊. You may RSVP "Will Attend" and pay for your reservation now using the bank details in the "Payment Info" section of the website (or at a later date). The final date to RSVP and pay for your accommodations is October 30th 2024. Please note: Ristonchi does not offer refunds once payment is made so we ask that you are 100% sure you will be attending before clicking "Will Attend". If you find this timing won’t work please reach out to us directly, we want you there so will do all we can to make this the case!
Question
How does the accommodation work?
Answer
Ristonchi will be providing the accommodation for the three nights, all onsite at the venue. It’ll be €585 per guest, little ones are free! We have all the food, drinks and activities covered, if you are after anything further there will be an option to purchase “extras” onsite. Please take note: The castle is over 1,000 years old, that being said, to manage expectations please do not think you are arriving at the Ritz! The castle is rustic and charming. The floors are worn and the bathrooms are small and quirky (hey it happens when a building is built 800 years before plumbing was common). Some apartments in the tower have lots of stairs but the best views. Keep your eye out because some of the stones in the walls have medieval markings engraved in them. The castle is surrounded by an ancient forest so there may be a bug, a bee, or a spiderweb along with the beautiful serene nature. It's not a regular hotel, so there won't be daily cleanings, but all of the basics will be provided for you such as clean sheets, towels, pillows, blankets, toilet paper, soap and shampoo. There are no laundry facilities onsite but we will set up an ironing station for anyone needing to iron their clothes during their stay. The castle is secluded but there is a bar and small shop where you can buy barista coffee, drinks, ice cream and snacks should you want to.
Question
What do I need to bring?
Answer
You'll need clothing appropriate for the activities you'll be participating in (wedding, pool, hiking/running, wine drinking, etc). The wedding will be outside on grass and that may be something worth considering for shoe options. The rooms will have bed linens, a towel per guest, hand soap, and shampoo packet(s). Please bring any additional toiletries & bug spray, you may want and a small pool towel if you plan on swimming.
Question
No Gifts (not a question)
Answer
Your presence is our greatest gift. We absolutely do NOT want wedding gifts, especially after making you travel all this way. We are very grateful!
