Resort Al Castello and Cascina Capitanio Wedding Venue - Italy

Who and Where we are…….

Al Castello is a beautiful, historic, 16th century Manor House, located in the ancient village of Silavengo in the middle of the stunning countryside of Novara in Piedmont. Our area is famous for production of gourmet Italian foods and Wine, which enables us to bring the best local produce to your tables, plates and glasses daily. Our catering team of chefs and waiting staff are dedicated, experienced managers of Banquets for up to 500 people, but we specialize in small, intimate and personalized weddings.

We totally understand that “beautiful” and “historic” do not necessarily mean comfort so we have combined our historic charm with Modern 4-star comfort. We can sleep up to 48 people and use local hotels if necessary for larger parties, always managing all the transport of course to ensure that the whole event runs seamlessly for everybody. We are located around 30 minutes from Milan Malpensa airport and can arrange pick-ups and drop-offs as necessary. Our goal is to ensure that you are able to enjoy your wedding, stress free, with your guests.
