Villa Le Fontanelle, just outside Florence, is a breathtaking location for a wedding. I am a videographer and often film weddings here, and couples are always enchanted by the views. From the villa’s terrace, you can enjoy a spectacular panorama of Florence, including the iconic Duomo. Working with Giorgia is an absolute pleasure—she is delightful, highly skilled, and masterful at organizing weddings. I highly recommend Villa Le Fontanelle for a truly unforgettable wedding experience.
