Standing dramatically atop the 100-feet cliff of Sorrentine Peninsula, Villa Astor is a beautiful jewel in the picturesque setting of Amalfi Coast. As a historical landmark and a former private residence of the famous American diplomat, businessman and art collector, Lord Waldorf Astor, it has a grand architectural style in and out. Behind the elegant, neoclassical, soft apricot façade lie the most exquisite historical interiors oozing classic feel with marble floors and antiques. Outside, the beautiful private estate is surrounded by a distinctive 7-acre garden considered to be one of finest in Europe. A century old, it boasts an intoxicating collection of more than 1000 plant species from citrus and lemon grooves, palms and wisteria to exotic wild flowers. Antique sculptures, busts, columns and artifacts from Pompeii are scattered throughout this walled paradise. With sweeping views of Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius, the garden provides a heavenly setting for romance and celebration.

It is a dream venue for couples who seek to have a sophisticated outdoor wedding. You’ll be awash in chic choices of where to host the wedding ceremony, dinner reception and after-party soirée – on the vast seaside belvedere terrace, near the luxurious marble swimming pool, on a glamorous rooftop terrace, inside a natural sea grotto or in any part of the extensive garden. Should you opt for a night stay, the venue can accommodate up to 20 guests in the opulent suites all designed by world-renowned French decorator Jacques Garcia, furnished with the finest period furniture and objects d’art sourced from Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
