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.
