This Italy wedding venue is a true hidden gem in Sicily. Even to reach it you need to follow exact instructions of the management rather than Google map! Resort Borgo San Rocco is the place of memory where friendship is cultivated in the art of hosting.
Location
It is 1 hr and 10 minutes drive from Catania International airport, up in the mountains, 4 km away from the Ionian Sea. You may think “oh, it’s too far…” but believe us, it is worth spending even 2 hrs on the road.
Story
Called Calat Sabut (Rocca del Sambuco) by Arabs, Savoca was founded in 1132 by Roger II on a bi-vertex hill 350 m high and stands over the Ionian Sea from which it is 4 km away.
The majestic scenery of the Etna volcano and the Ionian sea present this Italy wedding venue with a breathtaking view and nature.
The evocative atmosphere of a medieval village, Savoca, its Gothic-Norman style churches with fine Baroque stuccos will enchant you. It is not a coincidence that director Francis Ford Coppola chose Savoca for the filming of his masterpiece “The Godfather” (1972). Resort Borgo San Rocco, made up of new and ancient buildings, stands on the most panoramic places of the village, taking advantage of its mild climate and Mediterranean scents.
Resort Borgo San Rocco offers the comforts of the best high-level 4-star hotel: superior double rooms, Junior suites and suites with services to make the most of your destination wedding experience. You and your wedding guests will enjoy Savoca folk, art, culture, music and gastronomy, of course.
Spaces
This hidden gem keeps more surprises for you. Imagine the wedding ceremony on the cliff with the sea view, wedding reception on the lawn with mountain view and swimming pool, after-party in the restaurant, tasting typical Sicilian mid-night snacks and sipping the best Sicilian wines.
