About this venue

Borgo Castelvecchi is a scenic wedding venue located in the mountainous Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy. This historical residence has been owned by a noble family de Vecchi Gutierrez da La Solana for more than six centuries and offers an abundance of character for your festivities.

The current owner is Giovanni Catania (De Vecchi Gutierrez de La Solana)

Facilities and Capacity

Surrounded by vineyards, the 300-acre estate of Borgo Castelvecchi sets the scene for an unforgettable day. Celebrations are held in the great hall, which covers 150 square meters. Couples can also explore the covered terrace, which connects to the park avenue and offers a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. For an added touch of romance, they can watch the sun go down from the picturesque pergola. The estate is also home to an intimate restaurant, which can seat up to 40 people. Divided into smaller spaces by arches, it has an intimate feel that's perfect for catching up with loved ones. Up to 100 guests can stay overnight in the venue in two distinct spaces. The Villa, dating back to the 18th century, has views that overlook the Italian garden and its lush plants. The Borgo, meanwhile, dates back to the Middle Ages and boasts original beamed ceilings, in addition to terracotta floors. It's finished with rustic-style furniture for a touch of hominess.

October 17 Wedding

Firstly, this place is magical. The service and attention to detail is a class above. We wanted for nothing, everything completely shattered all of our wildest expectations. Sofia is a super star, Barbara is warm and made our whole event of 100 people feel right at home, the kitchen provided exemplary service and Daniel ties everything together. We couldn’t recommend this venue enough. 100/10 stars. This wonderful venue tucked in the beautiful hills will forever be the keepsake of our fondest and happiest memories.

Weekend of our dreams, and beyond!

I honestly don’t know where to begin to express just how grateful we are to Barbara, Sofia, and their entire team for everything they did to make our weekend so incredibly special.

Like everyone, we arrived with certain expectations and dreams for the weekend, but what they created for us went far beyond anything we could have wished for. From the very first moment, Barbara and Sofia guided us through every step of the process with such warmth, patience, and genuine care. Whether it was choosing the flowers, discussing the smallest details, or organizing the BBQ on Sunday evening, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Whatever we asked for, they found a way to make it happen — always with a smile and with the kind of personal attention that made us feel truly looked after.
What touched us most was not only their incredible professionalism, but also their kindness and the genuine passion they put into what they do. They have a wonderful ability to make you feel completely at ease, allowing you to simply enjoy the moment and be present with the people you love, knowing that everything is in the best possible hands.

And then, of course, there is Castelvecchi itself. The location is simply breathtaking. The beauty, the atmosphere, the views, and the surroundings create a setting that feels almost unreal. You can truly lose yourself in the magic of the place and in the beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

Looking back, we feel incredibly lucky that we got to celebrate such an important and special weekend at Castelvecchi, surrounded by so much beauty and, above all, by people who put so much heart into making it unforgettable.

Barbara, Sofia, and the entire team: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything. Thank you for all the big things, but also for all the little details that we may not even have noticed at the time, but that made such a difference. You helped create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and for that we will always be incredibly grateful.

We couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful place, a more wonderful team, or a more perfect weekend. Thank you for making it so much more than we ever imagined.

With all our love, Zara & Lucas

Toscana Wedding Dream

We were so fortunate to celebrate our wedding at Borgo Castelvecchi this summer.

Coming from different nationalities, our dream was to find a venue where all our international guests could stay together for a few days, relax, and celebrate as one big family. From the moment we first set eyes on Borgo Castelvecchi, we knew it was the one. The setting is breathtaking, and the staff were exceptionally warm, responsive, and always ready to help with anything we needed.

All of our guests had an unforgettable time, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our big day!

Our wedding at Borgo Castelvecchi was simply a dream come true. We spent the most beautiful days of our lives there, and all of our guests had an amazing time as well. The atmosphere is truly magical, and the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from beginning to end. The team was incredibly kind, professional, and made sure we could enjoy every single moment of our special day without any worries. The food was absolutely delicious and received so many compliments from our guests. We will never forget these unforgettable days and are so grateful that we were able to celebrate our wedding in such a magical place. If you’re dreaming of a wedding in Tuscany, Borgo Castelvecchi is the perfect venue. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true! 💓

We visited several wedding venues across Tuscany before choosing Borgo Castelvecchi, and it stood out immediately. In terms of value for money, it was by far the best venue we found. The property is absolutely stunning, and even the drive to the venue feels magical, surrounded by beautiful trees, vineyards, and the peaceful Tuscan countryside.

From the very beginning, everything was well organized, and our wedding weekend ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, the staff was incredibly kind and professional, and all of our guests felt welcome and had an amazing time. Many of them told us it was one of the most beautiful wedding venues they had ever seen.

If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan wedding venue with breathtaking scenery, excellent food, and great value for money, we can wholeheartedly recommend Borgo Castelvecchi.

The perfect wedding location !

A truly unforgettable wedding weekend!

We celebrated our wedding at Borgo Castelvecchi with 85 guests over four days, and it was everything we had hoped for.

One of the biggest advantages of Borgo Castelvecchi is that so many guests can stay together in the same place. Having all our family and friends gathered in one beautiful Tuscan village for the entire weekend made the experience incredibly special.

The venue is absolutely stunning, and the food was nothing short of outstanding throughout the entire weekend. From the delicious lunches on Thursday and Saturday, to the welcome pizza party, our wedding dinner, and the BBQ dinner on Saturday evening after the pool party, every single meal exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was!

While we worked with an external wedding planner during the planning process, the team at Borgo Castelvecchi was exceptional throughout the entire wedding weekend. Every person we met was kind, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our celebration as special as possible. They made both us and our guests feel completely at home, and their warmth and professionalism were a huge part of what made the weekend so unforgettable.

If you're looking for a destination wedding venue that can accommodate a large group of guests in one place, we couldn't recommend Borgo Castelvecchi more highly.

Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Wedding of our dreams!

Words cannot describe how incredible this wedding-venue is. We had 62 guests coming from Norway and it felt like we had a whole village for ourselves. There is room for everyone to do whatever they like. Chill, eat, talk, swim, hike. You name it! The food is incredible, just like you would imagine Italian wedding food.
But the most fantastic part of it and the reason why this wedding was a dream come true, are the people who work there. Barbara, Daniele, Sophia and the rest. I have no words. The service, the warmth, the openness and everything from starting to plan this to the last day. Just amazing.

Compared to norway, you get a lot for your money. It is a bit far from the city, but that was just a plus for us, as it ended up bringing all guests closer since we all stayed there together for 4 days.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL COUPLES.

Magical Wedding Weekend at Borgo Castelvecchi

Our daughter was married at Borgo Castelvecchi June 20, 2026. It was everything we imagined PLUS way way more ! Working with Barbara and her team was so easy. She was extremely responsive ,and very helpful (we had some mishaps with mailing boxes from the USA and she took a lead role in trying to locate !) she and her team were very accommodating . We felt very special having the entire gorgeous villa and grounds to ourselves . We had 69 guests and not one guest had a single complaint . It couldn’t be more perfect a location to have a special celebration . We can’t stop talking about it weeks later. And would do it all over again exactly how it was planned. The grounds are gorgeous , the pool was perfect . The town of Radda is adorable . Thank you Barbara ! We hope to see you again some
Day :)

Most beautiful day in our lives ❤️

We really can not thank the Borgo Castelvecci Team enough! From the beginning our experience was nothing but amazing. The Team was incredibly reactive and helpful in the preparation, every single question was answered immediately and literally all requests were made possible. On the wedding days everything was just perfect. The service was incredibly nice and accomodating, food was a dreeeeam (I mean, the tiramisu cake ❤️), everything was very professional and well organized, the only thing we had to think about was celebrating our wedding. Thank you so much for everything, we will make sure to come back and celebrate one of our anniversaries - absolutely recommend this beautiful place!

Best Weekend of Our Lives

From our very first interaction with the Castelvecchi team, we knew we found the right place to host our destination wedding. Everyone was so warm and accommodating all the warm through the very end. Planning a wedding overseas is no easy task, but the team was so flexible and reassuring the whole way through. Our wedding turned out better than we could have ever imagined thanks to all of the hard work the Borgo Castelvecchi team put in. The entire weekend we were there, there was no task too big or small that they didn’t help with and we are so incredibly grateful. Our guests loved the weekend just as much as we did and over a month later, we’re still getting friends and family asking when we can return.

Magical Italian Villa wedding!

We booked Borgo Castelvecchi with a dream of a magical Tuscany villa wedding and what we received and experienced was above and beyond our expectations. Each and everyone one of the staff at Castelvecchi was so kind, helpful, and went beyond their job description for each and every request we made.
From planning over phone calls, emails, and zooms to arriving on site Sofia and Barbara were so helpful and gave me the peace of mind I needed planning a wedding overseas. The villa was absolutely beautiful and very private. I used the second floor grand room to get ready and I felt like I was in a 1700 century castle getting ready. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about all the food especially the pizza and the wedding dinner with its 3 courses was not only well planned but absolutely delicious!
Overall Borgo Castelvecchi is an amazing gem tucked in the Tuscany countryside perfect for ANY wedding, event or just authentic Italian stay. Thank you to everyone at Castelvecchi who made our wedding day so special!

Joy & Juan Wedding - 30 May 2026

We had our wedding at Borgo Castelvecchi and it was honestly one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives!!! The venue is an absolute dream - magical, charming, romantic, and full of soul. Every corner felt special, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding weekend!!

Barbara was simply amazing!!! From the very beginning she was so sweet, patient, flexible, helpful, and always ready to support us with anything we needed. She made us feel so cared for and helped everything come together in such a beautiful way!!

Sofia and the whole catering team were also incredible!!! Everyone was so kind, warm, attentive, professional, and lovely with us and with all our guests. The food was amazing, the service was beautiful, and the whole team brought such a positive and loving energy to the weekend!!

We truly couldn’t have imagined a more magical place or a better team to celebrate our wedding with!!! Our families and friends loved it so much, and we will always be grateful to Barbara, Sofia, and everyone at Borgo Castelvecchi for making our wedding feel so special, joyful, and unforgettable.

A tiny suggestion for the future would be to have some water available in the rooms, especially for guests staying for a full wedding weekend. But honestly, everything was wonderful and we left with our hearts completely full!!

Thank you for giving us such a dream wedding!!! 🤍

A living fairytale

Castelvecchi was absolutely stunning, it’s hard to put into words, but everyone I looked was beautiful. It truly felt like I was in a fairytale the whole weekend. It was also so big I don’t think I explored the entire property! Wine tasting, pool days, delicious food all without needing to leave the venue. The staff was absolutely wonderful and so kind, hope to come back one day!

Absolute perfection

I feel honoured to have gotten married at Castelvecchi as it really is something out of a fairytale. This venue is a piece of Italian heritage, a true traditional rustic farmhouse style villa but with elegant grandeur & timeless class. The views around the vineyard are simply indescribable & every single one of our guests commented on how special this place is. We had a 3 night wedding here in late July 2025 & everything was complete perfection. We attended the summer before for our food tasting, met the team and were able to explore the rooms. From the minute we found this treasure, Barbara and her team really did try to assist us in creating our perfect wedding.
The catering is honestly exceptional. Sofia and her team are fantastic and we were served incredible food throughout the wedding weekend. We chose to not use external catering and wanted to support the beautiful on site restaurant and I would highly recommend this. It almost felt like fine dining throughout our wedding breakfast and in 92 guests, not a single person had an incorrect meal or allergy missed. We also had just a wonderful time with the staff and by night 3, after a stunning pizza party, they were dancing into the night with us!
Although I hope to of course not marry again, I truly hope to have a reason in the future to hire and return to CastelVecchi - genuinely a piece of our hearts now lives within those gardens ♥️
All our love , Faye & Freddy
