Palazzo al Piano is a castle venue in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia region where guests arrive to a working estate spanning manicured grounds and a historic borgo.
The 12-bedroom castle sleeps your inner circle while the adjacent Borgo Casine provides 13 additional rooms, allowing most of your wedding party to stay on-site.
You'll have the property exclusively, with ceremonies held outdoors or in the 300m² indoor hall, receptions flowing between terracotta courtyards and candlelit gardens, and dancing permitted until 1 AM—or 3 AM with an extension fee.
We just had our wedding event here and were incredibly happy with the people, service and location. The weather was warm in June, and perfect for a Tuscan wedding. The views are incredible too. Alberto Martina and the waiters from the catering (class ricevimente) were superb! We felt so humbled by the efforts they made. Thank you so much !!! Hannah and Alex
