About Castello Malaspina

Castello Malaspina stands apart as a genuine 13th-century fortress rather than a converted villa, offering couples an authentic medieval stronghold in Tuscany's Lunigiana region.

The castle's dual role as both hotel and event venue means guests stay within the same stone walls where ceremonies unfold, eliminating the logistics of separate accommodations.

Its hilltop position commands views across the Magra River valley while maintaining the architectural integrity of a working defensive structure.

We really enjoyed touring the castle. Our guide was great with the kids and we received a pamphlet in English (because the tour was in Italian).
