Castello di Fighine in Fighine, open June–November.
Castello di Fighine stands as a fortified residence in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia, its stone walls and defensive architecture reflecting centuries of Tuscan heritage.
The castle has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its authentic character, offering couples a venue where history becomes the backdrop for contemporary celebration.
With capacity for up to 150 guests across indoor and outdoor spaces, the property functions as both ceremony site and multi-day gathering place.
Absolutely great experience. The property is perfect for a peaceful, relaxing, and refined getaway. More so is the Heinz Beck restaurant. Superb food, service, and ambiance. With Francesco leading the kitchen, Matais running the floor with his staff and Marta with her excellent wine knowledge and recommendations it was the best part of our trip. We spent 7 nights on the property and every breakfast and dinner was perfectly executed. We will absoluty be back. Can't imagine an Italian vacation without spending time at Castello di Fighine.
