Ottimo House, an Italian term meaning 'excellence', is a family-owned and operated business that has been delivering premium hospitality experiences for almost a decade. Our mission is to instill this sense of excellence in every aspect of our service, ensuring a truly memorable experience for every guest that steps into one of our venues.
Founded on cherished family values, Ottimo House is more than just a venue; it is a testament to our passion for hospitality, entertaining, and creating unique experiences. We opened our doors in Denham Court in 2014, an area rich in colonial history and luxurious properties, where we remain true to the site's heritage as a dairy farm and equestrian ranch. Combining rustic and modern architectural elements, Ottimo House seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings, offering a unique hospitality experience in a serene countryside setting.
Our dedicated team, composed of experienced professionals, shares our commitment to delivering excellence in every detail. From the moment you contact us to the conclusion of your event, we strive to provide a seamless, tailored planning experience.
