The Estate

The estate gardens filled with lavender, rosemary and olive trees offer stunning views of the Tuscan countryside. For weddings of a considerable number of guests, we recommend a marquee. In the event of bad weather for small groups up to fifty, everyone can be accommodated inside the castle.

Accommodation

The exclusive rate for the accommodation of fourteen guests is € 8.000 per day in high season (from May to October), € 6.900 in low season (January – April, November – December 2017). This includes daily breakfast and taxes. They require a two to three night stay and a combination of two events (either a BBQ the evening before the wedding or a brunch the day after the celebration) We highly recommend that the wedding is on the second day of your stay.
