About Castello di Modanella Srl

Castello di Modanella stands apart in Tuscany by offering an actual functioning castle hotel rather than a converted villa, with 16th-century architecture and working wine estate on the grounds.

Located in Rapolano Terme's countryside, it provides both ceremony and guest accommodation within a single property, eliminating the coordination challenges of split venues.

The castle's documented wine production and thermal spa proximity create a multi-sensory experience unavailable at typical destination wedding hotels.

Awesome experience and great food. We were their to test drive a car at a near by track and we stayed here for two nights. Big large rooms with a common area and kitchen, food was excellent and the owner was very very warm and welcoming.
