A 12th century castle in the heart of Tuscany makes for a fairy-tale wedding and reception. Awarded one of the world’s best hotels in Conde Nast Traveller’s 2019 Gold List, the 900-year-old castle is a popular respite for the Italian media industry. When booked for a wedding, the castle and grounds —10 suites, 2-bedroom villa, organic vineyards, olive groves, and rolling farmland—become your wedding party’s exclusive venue.
The estate, owned and managed by the multi-generational Baccheschi-Berti family, blends familial comfort with contemporary luxury. The initial restoration of the castle in the 1980s took over 12 years to complete, and further restoration continues to this day. The current project, a 2-bedroom villa with a private pool, garden, and terrace, will increase the estate’s total occupancy to 30 guests by 2025.
Accommodations
The castle hotel currently sleeps 25 guests and will sleep 30 guests starting in 2025. Over 100 additional wedding guests can be accommodated at trusted venues nearby. Shuttle services can easily be arranged to allow your guests to join for the celebration.
The castle’s suites are all decked out differently, with nooks for sitting, velvet-upholstered armchairs, and shelves of books. Many have day beds with heavy velvet curtains. There are piles of Vintage magazines on coffee tables and homemade bath products in brown glass bottles. Some bathrooms are done out entirely in marble: dark green, pale grey, even a dusty pink.
Transportation
The estate is positioned halfway between Rome and Florence. Florence and Pisa airports are about 1h 45 min away by car. Rome airport is around 2h 15 min away by car.
The Ceremony and Celebration
A civil ceremony or a blessing can be held within the castle itself or at a romantic spot in the garden. Alternatively, lovely local churches will hold a Catholic ceremony.
Celebrate in gardens of lavender and climbing roses, or groves of ancient olive trees. Welcome your guests to the castle and invite them to a barbeque on the panoramic field. Enjoy an aperitif in the courtyard and stunning sunset views from the roof terrace. Experience a gala dinner under the stars, followed by an open barrique bar.
There are no restrictions at your wedding – dance to a live band or a DJ until the sun rises!
Food and Wine
The chef will create an authentic Tuscan menu to suit your tastes and feature the most ripe, flavorful ingredients. Over 50 varieties of vegetables and 30 aromatic herbs are cultivated in the vegetable garden. The castle’s award-winning wines come from their own vineyards.
