Saying "yes" to each other was an easy choice. The question of where to marry was harder. Since you guys are spread all over the world, there was no obvious answer. Well.. here's what we decided for: Sicily.

Where to stay
Dear friends and family,
As we prepare to celebrate our big day, we want to make sure you organize your trip in the best way and have a cozy place to rest your heads after all the dancing and laughter!
Here are some details for your trip!
ARRIVING IN SICILY
The closest airport to the location is Catania-Fontanarossa.
Palermo is also an option if you plan to spend some time in the northern part of the island and in the capital city.
You will have to rent a car most probably. If you would like to share it with someone let us know at loveretreat.sicily2025@gmail.com and we will connet you to other guests based on arrival time and days to share a car.
STAYING AROUND THE LOCATION
While the wedding venue is reserved for our wonderful families coming from Germany, Greece, China, USA, and Northern Italy, we’ve found some charming stays in the beautiful nature surrounding us and close to the sea—just a few minutes' drive away for all of you!
We have put together a list of our favorite spots including two delightful agriturismi right around the corner—Le Zagare and Fiore di Vendicari—where we’ve managed to negotiate some special rates just for you!
We recommend staying near the reserve, in Marzamemi, San Lorenzo or Lido di Noto. This way, if you decide to extend your trip, you can be close to the sea as well ;)
For anything do not hesitate to reach out to us at loveretreat.sicily2025@gmail.com
