Casina Calò: An Exclusive Countryside Venue in Salento
Casina Calò is an 18th-century countryside estate that hosts exclusive weddings in the heart of Salento. This authentic venue has been meticulously restored to preserve its traditional Salento charm, nestled within a centuries-old park.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Stay true to your vision. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with trends and expectations, but your wedding should be a reflection of who you are as a couple. Focus on the details that truly matter to you—whether it’s an intimate atmosphere, a meaningful menu, or a specific type of entertainment. And most importantly, enjoy the journey—planning should be just as magical as the wedding day itself!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of the most touching personal touches we’ve seen was when a couple wrote individual handwritten notes to each guest, placed at their seats. It was such a heartfelt way to make everyone feel special and appreciated. Another beautiful moment was a surprise serenade from the groom to the bride, accompanied by a live string quartet—there wasn’t a dry eye among the guests!
