Podere dell’Abate is a charming estate and wedding venue nestled in the most authentic heart of Chianti (Tuscany region), just a few minutes from the enchanting Badia a Passignano and conveniently close to Florence. It is a place where nature, elegance, and authenticity come together, creating an extraordinary setting for exclusive, refined, and deeply emotional weddings.
The property stands out for its generous spaces and rare versatility. The interiors, thoughtfully designed in every detail, feature three interconnected living rooms ideal for convivial moments, an elegant bar perfect for signature cocktails, a piano that adds a romantic touch, and a professional kitchen perfectly suited for high-end catering.
Outdoors, the true scenic heart of the estate is the magnificent iron-and-glass pergola, fully openable on the sides and overlooking the valley. This bright and evocative space can host up to 100 seated guests and also serves as a flawless “Plan B” in case of bad weather, without compromising the open-air atmosphere.
The gardens, beautifully maintained and immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, offer the perfect backdrop for every moment of the wedding: from symbolic ceremonies among oak trees or within lavender fields, to sunset aperitifs with panoramic views over the rolling hills, and dinners under the stars enhanced by soft lighting and bespoke setups.
The estate features 8 elegant bedrooms, ideal for hosting the couple and their closest guests, allowing the wedding to be experienced as a truly exclusive stay. A spacious and convenient parking area is also available, ensuring maximum ease and comfort for all attendees.
Podere dell’Abate is the perfect choice for couples seeking much more than a simple event. Here, a wedding becomes a shared experience - filled with authentic moments, timeless beauty, and an intimate yet impactful atmosphere. Every detail can be tailored to tell a unique story - yours - transforming your special day into an unforgettable memory for you and your guests.

Meet the team
My name is Silvia Tempestini, and I am the owner and villa manager of Podere dell’Abate and Il Mulino dell’Abate, two private estates located in the heart of Chianti Classico.
I have spent over 15 years working in the luxury travel industry, designing tailor-made experiences across Italy for an international clientele. This background has shaped my approach to hospitality - with a strong focus on attention to detail, discretion, and creating seamless, well-curated experiences.
Today, I personally manage both properties, overseeing each stay and event to ensure everything runs smoothly and to the highest standard. Being directly involved allows me to offer a more personal and flexible approach, supporting couples throughout the planning process and helping them bring their vision to life.
We aim to provide not simply a venue, but a setting where couples and their guests can feel at ease and fully enjoy the occasion - whether it’s a relaxed wedding weekend or a more structured celebration.
Podere dell’Abate and Il Mulino dell’Abate offer a balance of authenticity, privacy, and understated elegance in one of Tuscany’s most renowned wine regions.
