Set just a few minutes from Lake Maggiore, Abbazia di Santo Spirito is a Romanesque abbey from the 11th century, privately restored and reserved for weddings. Surrounded by woods and fields, it offers a sense of retreat — yet with every modern comfort. The ceremony can occur in the abbey’s consecrated chapel or outdoors beneath the ancient cypresses. Reception follows in a luminous stone hall with terracotta floors and vaulted ceilings. Intimate yet majestic, this is a place where every echo feels meaningful, and the landscape frames your story in timeless simplicity.
The abbey holds centuries of silence within its walls. With a consecrated chapel still used today, the site offers a sacred atmosphere that resonates beyond faith — ideal for symbolic, civil, or religious ceremonies alike.
Celebrate under the cypress trees in the cloistered garden or beneath vaulted brick ceilings in the main hall. The venue accommodates up to 180 guests and includes spaces for ceremony, aperitif, dinner, and dancing — all in one cohesive, private estate.
Only one event takes place per day. There are no hotel crowds, no overlapping noise — just you, your guests, and a place that feels quietly suspended in time. The estate includes a private suite for preparations and a room for changing, but guests stay in nearby hotels or private villas.
Weddings here feel timeless and grounded — the rhythm of gravel underfoot, lanterns flickering in the garden, the weight of stone and stillness in the chapel. Every part of the day feels connected, natural, and unforced.
Inside, the reception hall glows with candlelight against terracotta floors and vaulted ceilings. The garden, encircled by ancient walls and woodlands, frames the celebration without distraction. Santo Spirito doesn’t need to impress — it invites.
From vows in the consecrated chapel to candlelit dinner under vaulted ceilings, weddings at Santo Spirito blend sacred history and refined simplicity.
At Abbazia di Santo Spirito, the past isn’t just a backdrop — it’s part of the experience. With its chapel, gardens, and vaulted reception hall, the abbey offers an atmosphere of reverence, intimacy, and calm beauty. Let’s create your wedding weekend in this timeless retreat.
