Castello di Castagneto in Castagneto Carducci, open June–September.
Castello di Castagneto stands as a fortified stronghold in Tuscany's Bolgheri wine region, its stone walls bearing witness to centuries of Italian nobility and rural life.
The castle has been carefully restored while retaining period architecture, offering couples a genuine medieval venue rather than a reconstructed one.
With 24 guest rooms across estate properties and a private family chapel, it functions as a complete destination—ceremony, reception, and accommodation unified within one historic compound.
