Castello Di Oliveto in Castelfiorentino.
Castello Di Oliveto stands apart in Tuscany for its authentic working estate atmosphere—this isn't a converted barn or renovated villa, but a functioning property where medieval architecture meets active agricultural operations.
The 14th-century castle sits on 50 hectares of Tuscan countryside, offering raw stone walls and genuine period features rather than polished luxury resort aesthetics.
Ceremonies and receptions unfold within centuries-old structures overlooking vineyards and olive groves that define the region's landscape.
We had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Castello di Oliveto, and it was such a magical experience. The castle’s historic charm, surrounded by rolling Tuscan hills, created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. From the beautiful courtyard to the warm atmosphere, everything about this place feels timeless and full of character.
