Characterised by its highly privileged geographical position, completely surrounded by the sea and just a few kilometres from Rome and from Fiumicino international airport, the Castello di Santa Marinella was, and still is, the perfect place to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. Owned by the noble Odescalchi family, this historic residence has a warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the sunlight, the gentle breeze and the scent of the sea air. Each of the internal and external spaces seems purpose-built for receptions and celebrations... the park, the internal courtyard, the ancient gazebo, the seafront balconies and the beautiful halls decorated with refined simplicity are fascinating and romantic, places in which to experience the magic of a special day with loved ones.
