Anniversaries · Vow renewals · Babymoons
Come back, or come for the first time.
The chapel was built in 1567. It has hosted thousands of vows. Some of them were ours. Some of them are returning, ten years on.
Three reasons couples come back
The first, the tenth, the babymoon
The first anniversary
You spent 12 months planning the wedding. The first anniversary is when the marriage actually starts. We send you back to the chapel, with no audience this time.
The tenth anniversary
Renew vows in the chapel where you didn't get married. Quietly, in front of nobody. Then dinner on the terrace with the same dish you ate the night you got engaged.
The babymoon
Six months in. The clock is ticking. We slow it down. Soft food, gentle days, no jet lag from a transatlantic.

Real couples
Three couples who came back
"Last trip just-the-two-of-us before our daughter arrives. They thought of everything — the pillows, the pacing, the right kind of decaf coffee."
"Our wedding was huge. The first anniversary needed to be the opposite. They gave us a candle-lit dinner in the cellar. Just us."
Frequently asked
Before you book
Can we use the chapel for a vow renewal even if we got married elsewhere?
Yes — the chapel is yours for the ceremony hour. Symbolic, civil, or religious. We arrange the officiant.
Do you keep records from couples who got married here?
We keep menus, music lists, photographs, and the guestbook. Returning couples can request anything from their original event.
Is the estate appropriate during pregnancy?
Yes, with planning. The cellar steps and olive grove paths can be skipped. The kitchen will tailor a menu around any dietary need.
Can we surprise our partner?
We've done it many times. Tell us the date and what you want; we'll handle the secret.
What if there's a wedding the same weekend?
We tell you when you book. Vow-renewal guests stay on the opposite wing.
How far in advance to book milestone anniversaries?
Same as weddings — 12+ months for the 10th and 25th, where the chapel and dining are booked in advance.
Tell us when you got married. We'll work backwards from there.
