We
got
married
at
Borgo
San
Rocco
Resort
in
May
2023,
and
we
cannot
recommend
this
venue
highly
enough.
We
were
able
to
seamlessly
communicate
with
the
hotel
in
English
as
everyone
spoke
excellent
English.
This
made
it
very
easy
for
us.
Our
journey
to
this
beautiful
location
in
Sicily
began
in
October
2022,
and
from
the
moment
we
set
foot
in
the
resort,
we
felt
like
a
part
of
the
family.
Francesca
was
with
us
every
step
of
the
way,
fulfilling
every
wish
we
had
for
our
special
day.
Thanks
to
her
excellent
organization,
we
were
able
to
save
on
hiring
a
separate
wedding
planner.
Francesca
introduced
us
to
amazing
vendors
and
handled
all
communication
on
our
behalf,
as
we
didn't
speak
Italian.
We
were
thrilled
with
every
detail,
from
the
priest
and
the
beautiful
church
Chiesa
Madre
di
Savoca,
to
the
music
(a
beautiful
string
quartet
in
the
church,
traditional
music
during
the
reception,
and
a
fantastic
DJ
in
the
evening),
the
photographers
and
videographers,
vintage
wedding
car,
delicious
wedding
cake,
the
exquisite
floral
arrangements,
and
the
overall
decor.
We
particularly
loved
the
beautiful
string
lights
at
the
front
courtyard,
which
they
specially
installed
for
us.
Francesca
even
organized
babysitters
with
a
bounce
house
to
keep
the
children
entertained.
The
kids
all
LOVED
it,
allowing
the
parents
to
enjoy
their
dinner
without
worry.
We
had
a
total
of
100
guests
and
celebrated
for
two
days
at
the
resort.
The
first
evening
was
a
delightful
pizza
party
for
everyone
to
get
together,
and
the
second
day
was
our
wedding.
The
food,
Sicilian
wine
and
service
were
outstanding.
During
our
visit
in
October,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
taste
all
the
dishes,
and
Francesco
(the
chef)
tailored
the
menu
to
our
preferences.
He
also
accommodated
special
requests
from
our
guests,
considering
allergies
and
dietary
restrictions
with
absolute
perfection.
We
were
able
to
accommodate
approximately
half
of
our
guests
at
the
resort
itself,
but
there
are
several
small
Airbnbs
in
the
village
that
offer
rooms
for
rent.
This
made
it
easy
to
house
all
our
guests
without
any
issues.
We
stayed
in
the
"Bridal
Suite,"
which
was
a
charming
tower,
and
it
was
perfect
for
capturing
stunning
getting-ready
photos.
Savoca
is
a
truly
magical
little
mountain
village,
and
it
was
incredibly
convenient
that
everything
was
just
a
few
meters
away.
This
meant
we
could
avoid
transfers
and
save
time.
One
of
the
highlights
of
the
village
is
the
breathtaking
view
and
the
tranquility
it
offers.
It
was
perfect
because
there
weren't
many
other
people
or
tourists
in
the
village,
allowing
us
to
fully
enjoy
our
wedding
with
our
families
and
friends.
Every
corner
of
the
village
is
beautiful,
making
it
perfect
for
photoshoots.
Savoca
is
a
part
of
cinematic
history,
as
the
all-time
classic
"The
Godfather"
was
set
in
this
location
(wedding
scene).
This
added
an
extra
layer
of
special
significance
for
us
and
our
guests.
The
journey
to
the
location
was
uncomplicated
as
well.
The
nearest
airport
is
in
Catania,
approximately
80
km
away,
which
is
about
an
hour's
drive.
We
organized
a
shuttle
transfer
with
small
minivans
for
our
guests.
Some
of
our
guests
rented
a
car
as
they
extended
their
stay
on
the
beautiful
island
of
Sicily.
On
our
wedding
weekend,
everything
went
according
to
plan
and
even
exceeded
our
expectations!
It
was
the
most
beautiful
day
of
our
lives,
and
we
want
to
express
our
heartfelt
thanks
to
the
entire
team.
GRAZIE!
We,
along
with
all
our
guests,
fondly
remember
the
wonderful
days
in
Savoca.
Our
guests
enjoyed
it
so
much
that
they
suggested
we
celebrate
our
anniversary
together
in
Savoca
every
year.
