01 · In a sentence

Castello di Gargonza in Province of Arezzo, open JuneSeptember.

Castello di Gargonza offers a working medieval village as your wedding venue, meaning guests can stay within the castle grounds for a fully immersive weekend rather than commuting from hotels.

This 11th-century fortified settlement in Tuscany provides on-site accommodations across 30 restored rooms and apartments, eliminating logistics headaches.

The stone castle and surrounding village create distinct ceremony and reception spaces while keeping everyone under one roof.

We got married here last summer and couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! The setting was stunning and staff so welcome. Neri, Roberta and her team put together a wonderful event. And the property is extra special for being able to accommodate all 75 of our guests. Highly recommend for your event or simply a visit!
