Borgo di Pietrafitta Relais in Castellina in Chianti, open April–August.
Borgo di Pietrafitta Relais stands apart as a working 16th-century hamlet that operates as a functioning hotel rather than a venue-only space, meaning your guests experience authentic Tuscan village life during their stay.
Located in the heart of Chianti wine country, this property preserves its agricultural heritage while offering modern hospitality across restored stone buildings.
The venue's dual identity as both accommodation and celebration space eliminates the logistical complexity typical of destination weddings.
We rented Borgo for our wedding last September, and it was truly amazing! The venue is dreamy, and the rooms and apartments are spacious, neat, and beautifully decorated. While we felt that the price for the weekend package could have included more comprehensive service and attention to us, the staff were always available and accommodating. Overall, we loved the venue! Grazie!
