Castello delle Aci

About This Location

A refined castle-style reception venue near Acireale, offering elegant event spaces, gardens, terraces, and scenic views between Mount Etna and the sea.

Castello delle Aci is an elegant reception venue in the Catania area, positioned near Acireale and framed by the natural contrast of Mount Etna and the Sicilian coastline. Its landscaped grounds, terraces, reception hall, and ceremony areas offer a refined setting for weddings, civil ceremonies, aperitifs, dinners, and evening celebrations. The venue combines classic architectural character with practical accessibility, making it suitable for couples seeking a scenic yet functional Sicilian wedding location. Guest capacity, catering arrangements, and ceremony availability should be confirmed directly for each event. In practice: up to 500 guests standing, 200 to 300 seated, with indoor space for 200 as the wet-weather plan. Catering is in-house only, which simplifies the planning but means the menu is set by the venue rather than chosen. There are no rooms on site, so guests stay nearby. Rice and confetti are allowed, decor is unrestricted, fireworks are possible with the right permissions, and Catania airport is close.
