Questions about the venue
Answered from the venue’s own listing. Where a number is our estimate, we say so.
Can we host a legal wedding ceremony at Villa Gaudia?
The villa accommodates symbolic ceremonies on its grounds. Legal civil signatures must occur at the municipal office in Rignano sull'Arno, 10 minutes away. Religious catholic ceremonies can be arranged at San Pietro in Perticaia, a country church 3km from the property.
Are outside caterers and vendors permitted?
Villa Gaudia has preferred vendors (florists, photographers, DJs, live musicians, pyrotechnicians) but does not require their use. Couples may source their own vendors, subject to villa approval.

Events conclude at 1:00 AM at no additional cost. Continued party dance all night long beyond 1:00 AM is available at €200/hour.

Maximum 150 wedding guests. On-site lodging fits 10–12 people; nearby properties (Fattoria di Pagnana, Fattoria Torre a Cona, Hotel Villa il Palagio, Resort 37) provide overflow options within 5km.
What are the rental and deposit terms?
Venue rental for up to 3 nights: €10,000 (includes B&B for up to 10 people). Additional guests: €1,000 each max 2 people. Wedding fee (cleaning, furniture arrangement, porter service): €1,800. Booking requires 30% deposit; balance due 30 days before the event.
