About Palazzo del Capitano Wellness & Relais

Palazzo del Capitano stands apart in Val d'Orcia by operating as a functioning wellness retreat alongside its wedding operations, meaning your guests enjoy spa treatments and wellness experiences rather than standard hotel downtime.

This 16th-century palazzo has been comprehensively restored with modern luxury while preserving original architectural details, offering an authentic Tuscan borgo experience with on-site hospitality that extends beyond the ceremony and reception.

The venue's dual identity as both event space and wellness destination creates a multi-day celebration framework that justifies destination travel for your guests.
