We got married at Castello di Meleto from May 25-28, 2026, and it was beyond anything we could have imagined! For those that don't have the time to read the entire review, this is the core sentiment we wish to convey: our 70 well-travelled guests (Australians and Americans, most in their mid-30s) unanimously agreed that this was the best wedding, with hands down the best food, they've ever attended! We booked out the entire venue and hosted all of our guests on the castle grounds for three nights, which turned the wedding into a full resort getaway rather than just a single event. The weather was perfect (80F/27C), so we made full use of both pools throughout our stay. We kicked things off with a pizza party on night one, then an intimate family pasta-making class for 25 family members (Patrizia was awesome!) followed by a pasta party on night two, before the wedding itself on night three. The food was absolutely incredible, and we promise no one will leave hungry! Victor and Alessio coordinated everything with us remotely from Australia, and the execution was flawless. There's no language barrier, and honestly, you don't need to hire a separate wedding coordinator, they handle everything on-site as well as liaising with your offsite vendors, so save your money. They were incredibly responsive over email and Zoom despite their busy schedules and sent us helpful photos and descriptions to guide our planning and decision-making; we chose the top garden for the ceremony, the herb garden for the Aperitifs and the Castle lawn for our Reception. They also looked after our vendors brilliantly and handled every food allergy amongst our guests with real care. Nothing felt like an afterthought. We'd also like to highlight the wonderful catering staff who were delightful throughout our stay! What also sets this venue apart is how much was included. The rooms are generally private with separate bathrooms (except for a couple) and the apartments all share a central kitchen and loungeroom – they are all air-conditioned, which is a huge win for a historic estate. I believe they can fit 80 (potentially more with cots/sofa lounges) and they have baby cots to cater for infants as well. Breakfast every day for all guests, your choice of long or circular tables, beautiful tableware and chairs, overhead fairy lights, and their own award-winning wine, all as standard. Their in-house restaurant team makes the food (Michelin-worthy, every night) and can even do your wedding cake (which, surprise, was also delicious – we chose the circular millefeuille). They provide the pool towels, and they recommend trusted local vendors (florists, photographers, musicians, etc.) for anything else you need. And if the weather turns, wet-weather options are plentiful: the beautifully converted old stables or the castle itself. Castello di Meleto does it all for you, without compromising on quality or feel! We genuinely never needed to leave the property. Between the olive garden, Bee sanctuary, vineyards, a cellar door for wine tastings (discounted for guests), castle tours (the property dates back to 1256!), two pools, and beautiful gardens and pathways, there was always something to explore on-site. For those who wanted to venture out, the castle's location in the heart of the Tuscan wine region made it easy to do vineyard tours or day trips to nearby towns like Siena or Florence. We couldn't recommend Castello di Meleto more highly for a multi-day destination wedding. Victor, Alessio, and their entire team are top notch and will make your wedding unforgettable! Book early to make sure you get your dates – although, any date at the venue would be stunning all year round.

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.

We honestly cannot put into words how grateful we are to everyone at Il Castello di San Ruffino for giving us the most incredible wedding experience and helping to make our dream wedding a reality. From the moment we chose this beautiful venue, we knew we were somewhere special, but what truly made the experience exceptional were the amazing people behind it all — especially Laura. Laura has been absolutely incredible from start to finish. She has responded to every question so quickly, accommodated everything we asked for, and has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly how we imagined it. Planning a wedding abroad could have felt overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process feel so easy, personal and exciting. What we will never forget is how special she made us feel throughout the whole journey. Despite everything she must have going on behind the scenes, Laura somehow made us feel like we were the only couple she was looking after. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and her care, dedication and attention to detail were truly outstanding. Our wedding weekend was everything we could ever have dreamed of and so much more. The entire team at Il Castello di San Ruffino were absolutely amazing — professional, warm, helpful and clearly passionate about making every couple’s day unforgettable. Every single detail was handled so beautifully, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the most special time of our lives. The venue itself is breathtaking, but it is the people — and especially Laura — who make Il Castello di San Ruffino truly extraordinary. If you are considering getting married here, we honestly could not recommend it highly enough. Choosing Il Castello di San Ruffino was one of the best decisions we made, and we would choose it again in a heartbeat. We will be forever grateful to Laura and the entire team for giving us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. You made us feel so incredibly special, and we will never forget it. ❤️ Love Rachel and Tom 🤍💫💍
