Question

Where will guests be staying?

Rooms vary in size — most sleep two guests, and a small number can accommodate three. Please note, if on-site accommodations are fully booked, we will arrange rooms at a nearby hotel for remaining guests. On-site accommodations will be assigned on a first come, first served basis based on RSVP date.

Question

How much does on-site accommodation cost?

Answer

The cost for on-site accommodations at Dievole is a flat rate of $325 per room, per night, for a three-night minimum stay. This rate includes: Three nights of lodging at the estate and access to the full property throughout the weekend.

Question

Why is payment required in advance?

Answer

Because Dievole is a private estate buyout, the venue requires that all room payments be collected in advance, rather than at check-in. While this may be different from typical U.S. hotel stays, it is standard practice for destination weddings and villa rentals in Italy. To simplify this process for our guests, we will collect lodging payments directly and manage the arrangements with the venue.

When and how do we pay for accommodations?

RSVPs are due by April 1st. After RSVPs are finalized, guests staying on-site will receive a secure payment link. Payment will cover the full three-night stay We truly appreciate your understanding, as this allows us to confirm room assignments and finalize plans with the venue.

Question

What if I RSVP after April 1st?

Answer

Due to limited on-site availability, we strongly encourage guests to RSVP as early as possible. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone, on-site rooms cannot be guaranteed after April 1st. Guests who RSVP later will be provided with a nearby hotel is similar rates. We will provide you with transportation details provided closer to the wedding weekend.
