The terraces

Four levels, always the sea.

Astragalo has four terraces stepping down towards the water: up at the top you marry, halfway down you drink the aperitivo, lower still you dine with the bay alongside.

The levels

You step down towards the water, one level at a time.

The terraces follow the curve of the bay and sit at different heights. At the top is the ceremony space, with the arch and the chairs; halfway down are the aperitivo terraces, with high tables; lower still is the dinner terrace, where the long tables have the sea alongside.

They are not balconies: they are parts of the venue, each with its own outlook. You walk from one to the next, and the water stays in front of you all the way.

Terraces are chosen according to the number of guests and how you want the day to move.

The light

Sideways in the afternoon, straight ahead at sunset.

The bay opens to the west: in the afternoon the light comes in from the side, in the evening the sun drops behind the coast and the terraces hold the colour of the sunset.

That is when the venue changes: candles on the tables, lanterns lit, music starting. Anyone on the terrace does not have to go anywhere to watch the day end.
