There’s plenty of help available too. Our friends at One Step Closer are experienced at organising weddings in Tuscany, and they can take you through all the paperwork necessary for a civil ceremony followed by the reception. With a little help and preparation, all will go smoothly and you won’t actually need to spend a lot of time in Italy beforehand, at least if both bride and groom are resident outside Italy. Church ceremonies are a little harder to arrange.

Speaking of ceremony, you will have a civil ceremony at the local town hall (Comune) before the Mayor and an official interpreter, but this belittles some of the venues, which are magnificent in their own right – take the “Sala Rossa” within the Michaelangelo-designed Capitol Hill buildings in Rome for example.

As to the reception, the world is your oyster. If you like the Amalfi Coast, there’s the Villa Tre Croci which has an open-air terrace ideal for a party, and La Calla can help out with the organisation. At Torre Cesarea, the manager is well practised at planning and delivering a gourmet meal on the terrace overlooking that blue blue sea.

Let’s take take a look at one of the show’s exciting novelties, the Oyster 625. It’s on stand I131 and this is the first time it has been seen in Italy. A great feature is what the manufacturers describe as triple seascape windows – check out the photo below. It’s nearly 20 metres long, so don’t expect it to be cheap. You’ll need to call them to book an appointment to see it.

Riva are of course best known for their smooth, suave and sophisticated motor boats. Achingly good looking is this year’s model Riva 63 Virtus, the flagship of the Riva range of open-top boats. Italian style and design at its best, see it in the Marina section of the show.

Boating is of course a wonderful activity to combine with a villa holiday, and you can hire one, be it motor or sailer, with or without crew, in most seaside locations where we have villas. The Argentario on the Tuscan coast is particularly well known and the ports of Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano offer myriad facilities. Just ask us and we’ll let you have full details. L’Acacia is recommended, along with Giannella (real luxury here) and Villa Mandriola.

Elsewhere, try Sardinia of course, Villa Portisco, Villa Rubia and Villa Contros are all excellent. On the Amalfi Coast, Villa Tre Croci and Torre Cesarea would be great bases for boating.

Moving to Umbria, the Festival of Two Worlds, better known outside Italy as the Spoleto music festival has been held since 1958 in Spoleto, when it was founded by Gian Carlo Menotti, its aim is to bring together Europe and America in a celebration of the arts in general, and you can see from the programme on the web site that there are literally dozens of events put on over a three week period in late June and early July. This year’s has just started but will continue until Sunday 10 July, so hurry! A nearby villa is our La Colomba, part of a complex with Frantoio di Poreta and Melograno di Poreta.

If classical isn’t what you’re looking for, then still in Umbria is the  Umbria Jazz festival. Featured artists this year are B.B.King, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana and even Prince and Liza Minelli, as well as a lot of home-grown talent. It takes place mainly in Perugia and there’s a wealth of free concerts as well as paid-for events in the main arenas. Nearby Casarossa is useful in that it sleeps 12, but you can have it for less if you’re only 6. Poggio al Cerro has phenomenal views too.

The up-and-coming region of the South is Puglia with its famous Trulli (whitewashed roundhouses with stone roofs) and it has its own music festival which takes place at Marina Franca near Taranto between 15 July and 2 August this year. It features planty of the classic favourites such as Liszt and Rossini, but there’s also quite a hint of the modern with Schonberg and Weill.  Films too – Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” for example.  The nearest vill is Pizzariello.

Wikipedia has a good list of available festivals with links to their websites, official and unofficial, so enjoy during your stay at a Dolce Vita Villas villa.

This trend has existed for several years, led mostly by celebrities that, on the breakup of their marriage, throw a party to celebrate the opening of a new chapter in their lives. One option for a divorce party is to go abroad, invite your friends who have supported you throughout the process, and enjoy exploring a new part of a very ancient land like Italy, and Dolce Vita Villas has the villas and the local knowledge to make your divorce holiday relaxing and entertaining.

To really get away from it all, there’s nothing like finding a hide-away on the Amalfi Coast and having a party planned for you by our local partners! Why not have a themed party in Santa Chiara, sleeps 14, equipped with a bar and Jacuzzi to really get the party started. In the morning you can soak in the sun and the breathtaking views over the sea.

An alternative is La Terrazza which has unbeatable views over the town of Positano, a sun bathing platform and a bar and games area?

If you want to go all out this year (crisis? Schmisis!) Torre Cesarea will be THE top destination of the summer for celebrations. With a magnificent pool, well-tended Mediterranean gardens, the all-important sea views and its own staff, your stay will be unique and memorable.

Our ideas for themed parties: why not go for a nautical theme as you’re by the sea, a beach party or a chic wine-tasting party to sample wines from the local area and all over Italy. Alternatively, treat yourself all week to massages, limoncello tours, cooking classes with local cooks or, even better, a personal shopping tour!

Make the beginning of your new life memorable with Dolce Vita Villas.

Less sophisticated than Capri, and not as well known as its neighbour island but maybe more authentic, Ischia is real surprise for all visitors!

The never ending beauties of Ischia range from its astonishing seascapes, to its natural spas, to wild nature, to the food and to its artistic beauties……

But particularly, the most fantastic garden in Italy – in Italy but definitely not Italian in style – is in Ischia and it’s named La Mortella, created and daily cared for by Lady Susana Walton with the excellent help of Alessandra Vinciguerra.

For plant lovers, the best period to visit Ischia is during May 22^nd, 23^rd and 24^th when not only can you visit La Mortella but in addition, the Ipomea del Negombo takes place, a flower show organised at Negombo, one of the most fascinating spa complexes on the island.
