About Villa Cecilia
Villa Cecilia stands apart as a working Tuscan estate along the Tyrrhenian coast, where Mediterranean gardens meet 16th-century architecture on a private 8-hectare property.
Unlike resort-style venues, this estate operates as a functioning agriturismo, offering guests authentic rural immersion rather than manicured event spaces.
The combination of beachfront access and inland vineyards provides dual ceremony and reception settings without leaving the grounds.

I cannot thank enough Cecilia and Fabrizio! I could leave here a whole letter explaining how thankful my husband, our family, friends and I are for meeting them, and for having the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at their vila.
