Ever dreamt of tying the knot in a bucolic, magical spot in Italy far from the madding crowd-possibly in an isolated castle or a lavish Renaissance palazzo? Well, now there’s something even better. And it’s incredibly cheap. For just €200 ($231) you can book the entire ghost village of Celleno, just a few miles north of Rome, for a fairy-tale like wedding.
Renovated and revitalized in 2018 after more than half a century of neglect, Celleno is a secret gem located in the pristine Tiber Valley, with spectacular views of the Roman countryside and a medieval vibe. It rises atop a rocky spur surrounded by a deep chasm overlooking a dark forest cut across by two small rivers. Bright olive groves, chestnut trees, and vineyards dot the landscape.
