The Location
Villa La Rondinaia
SHOOT LocationTucked away in the enchanting town of Ravello, La Rondinaia is one of the most iconic hidden gems of the Amalfi Coast—an extraordinary setting for unforgettable luxury weddings. Perched dramatically on the cliffside and nestled within a lush, centuries-old park, this striking villa is not only one of the most original on the Amalfi Coast, but truly one of the most captivating in all of Italy.
Its name—meaning "The Swallow’s Nest"—pays homage to its daring position carved into the rock, with panoramic views that stretch endlessly across the Mediterranean. Accessed by a series of cliffside paths characteristic of medieval Ravello, La Rondinaia remains discreetly hidden behind a veil of cypress, lemon, pine, and olive trees. Its terraces, sculpted from the rugged terrain, now offer breathtaking spaces for ceremonies and celebrations—perfectly marrying natural beauty with timeless elegance.
A favorite of distinguished guests for generations, La Rondinaia promises both privacy and grandeur, making it a truly exceptional choice for couples seeking a romantic, once-in-a-lifetime destination wedding.
