San Pietro Sopra Le Acque Resort & Spa Reviews

I really want to take the time to share the incredible experience myself and my new husband had getting married at San Pietro this July, 2023. I would honestly recommend it to any brides looking for a destination wedding! It was so dreamy more beautiful than I could have imagined.

We are from London, UK and dreamed of an Italian countryside wedding weekend with all of our nearest and dearest. We were 56 in total, and wanted to have an exclusive venue, with only our guests on-site. We did a welcome pizza party Friday, the wedding Saturday and then a pool party bbq on the Sunday. The venue absolutely delivered on all of our requirements.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, it’s extremely peaceful, filled with birdsong and greenery. There is also so much history and art which adds to the uniqueness and prettiness of the venue. There are so many beautiful locations to make use of; the cloisters, the rose garden, the park (with amazing mountain views), the pool area (with toilets and changing rooms), and more! This made it great for hosting the guests in new and different locations all weekend. Plus so many locations for photo opportunities: The steps leading to the pool covered with flower arches was my personal favourite! Also the lighting in the hallways overlooking the cloisters was gorgeous! Every part of the venue was well nurtured and looked after. We made use of the spa with the bridesmaids and groomsmen on the morning of the wedding and it was the perfect way to unwind ahead of a busy day! We all felt very pampered!

The food was absolutely fabulous, and so plentiful! We are huge foodies so wanted to make sure our guests were well-fed with good food. San Pietro exceeded our expectations! We had the freshest oysters served during the aperitif, and the most tender veal sirloin served with dinner, I don’t think I have seen wedding food done so well and all our guests were raving about it! It’s obvious that the team work really hard on ensuring high quality menus with fresh and local produce! We had lots of dietary requirements to cater for but this was not a problem for the San Pietro kitchen, who gave our guests really lovely alternatives and made them feel included.

The venue’s wedding coordinator (Sara) was amazingly helpful, she did everything in her power to execute on our vision, and contributed great ideas! She was so responsive though-out, and we never had any doubts because she made us so comfortable. I am so grateful for all the staff for the impeccable service, and being so adaptable! We happened to get married during a big storm in Perugia and I will never get over how much Sara, Diego and team supported us with meticulous re-planning to make the day as perfect as possible! Luckily the venue is beautiful inside and out, with lots of sheltered options indoors which are equally as beautiful, so the weather didn’t take away from the day! Honestly, we were so glad to share our special day with all the venue staff, we really got to know them well over time.

San Pietro were able to sleep 36 of our guests on-site, and provide nearby accomodation recommendations as well as organised transfers for all of those staying offsite, so the coordination of guests arriving on time for events was perfect and simple.

We also worked with a celebrant recommended by the venue and he made all of the legalities really straightforward and easy to manage, so we were able to legally get married in a civil ceremony. But I also understand there are options for a religious ceremony in the lovely chapel.

Overall this venue was the best decision we ever made with regards to wedding planning. We intend to come and visit as often as we can.

If any upcoming brides or grooms would like to speak to us directly about our experience then we are more than happy to share, any excuse to talk about how fantastic it was!
