Pieve Aldina operates as a working hotel within the Fontenille Collection, meaning your guests enjoy multi-day stays in a functioning property rather than a rented villa—simplifying logistics for destination weddings. Located in Radda in Chianti's heart, this 12th-century property offers on-site accommodations alongside ceremony and reception spaces, eliminating the need to coordinate separate venues and hotels. The stone structures and vineyard surroundings provide authentic Tuscan backdrop without requiring extensive decoration.
