An absolute gem in Tuscany! I've had a pleasure to photograph a wedding there last year and it all was simply breathtaking. Great and friendly people, wonderful setup and so many great locations for wedding portraits.

Questions about the venue
Can we have an exclusive venue buyout?+

Is the venue suitable for both ceremony and reception?+
The estate includes multiple spaces, outdoor gardens, terraces, and interior rooms, allowing ceremony and reception on the same grounds. Many couples use the natural landscape for ceremony and covered areas for dining.
Do we get wine from the estate for the wedding?+
The property produces its own wine. Ask about estate wine packages during your consultation; this often reduces beverage costs compared to external sourcing.

Florence Airport (Peretola) is approximately 90km away with a 90-minute drive. Siena is closer at 45km (45–60 minutes). Pisa Airport is another option, roughly 120km away.
