Storia

La Villa si trova lungo l'antica e leggendaria via della seta. Su questa strada, in epoca barocca rinascimentale, i grandi mercanti pisani e lucchesi potevano raggiungere le corti nordeuropee con i loro damaschi raffinati e pregiati. La residenza di Villa Alta risale alla metà dell'Ottocento e, fino al 1920, apparteneva alla nobile famiglia pisana del conte Cosimo Agostino. Divenuto di proprietà della famiglia Cecchetti nel 1992, è stato completamente ristrutturato riportandolo all'attuale splendore.

Wedding perfection

When we first met Monica and Rafaella we immediately felt at ease with them. They are so accommodating, helpful, professional and we would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in Tuscany.

They were so knowledgeable with all aspects of wedding planning and a wealth of resources. They connected us with the local priest and church, the catering company, florist, photographer, hairdressers, make up artists and had solutions to every request we brought to them.

They are master organisers and ensured that all parts of our wedding went smoothly on the day. They made our family feel truly at home in Villa Alta and ensured that everyone had a special and memorable stay.

Very beautiful place

The wedding ceremony held at Vila Alta was beyond magical. The accommodations are a dream, a mix of plush comfort and rustic elegance. The hospitable and attentive staff who truly make Vila Alta shine, their dedication to service evident from the moment of our warm welcome. Thank you Raffaella and the team 😍

An exceptional day

Celebrating our union at Villa Alta was an experience that we will not forget.

From the meticulous planning of all the ceremonies to the incredible availability of Monica and Raffaella, we really enjoyed the whole process of planning our wedding at Villa Alta.

The villa and it’s surroundings are superb. Over the course of 3 days, we did both our civil and religious ceremonies, our dinner, party and after party at the Villa and our guest really enjoyed themselves.

Monica and Raffaella’s care and guidance was really helpful and we highly recommend Villa Alta for a full on experience.

Dream Wedding

So first of all, there are no words to describe the beauty of the Villa and the kindness of Monica and Raffaella. We were really lucky to have found this place for our wedding. Monica was enormously helpful with the weeding organisation and we could count on her for the whole time. Planning a wedding was an exciting time, but also overwhelming and time-consuming, especially because we planned it from abroad. Monica helped us to find suitable offers, making this a stress-free time. The view from the Villa is just like a fairytale. Awesome panoramic view of Pisa surrounded with the tuscan nature.
We loved this place so much, that we came back this year for our "Cotton Anniversary". Monica organised a wonderful dinner at the terrace and made it really special for us.
I would recommend Villa Alta with all my heart! The whole stuff was extremely nice and welcoming making us feel like at home. 
Thank you very much and hopefully we'll see you soon!

Our dream wedding

My husband and I had truly the most perfect wedding day at the Villa Alta. Raffaella and Monica, are the sweetest and were genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend everything that we dreamed of and more. I cannot emphasize enough how attentive to us, our guests,& to detail they were. They were incredibly organized & played the role of wedding planners that was unmatched : from coordinating the wedding day, to finding vendors (florists, decorator, violinist, bartenders & catering for the cocktail hour), to making sure all of the guests were taken care of. Monica and Rafaella made planning a wedding in Italy from the US so incredibly easy and stress free. We will be forever grateful to the Villa Alta for creating such a beautiful atmosphere and space to share with our loved ones on our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend the Villa Alta enough.

Fantastic wedding in villa

We decided to celebrate our wedding in a historic villa in Tuscany and once we visited Villa Alta in Rigoli we immediately understood that it would be the ideal location for us. The villa has a spectacular view of Pisa, is surrounded by greenery, extremely clean, with attention to every detail and well maintained!
We celebrated our wedding (civil ceremony) on August 26th in the adjacent Italian garden and had dinner on the terrace with 100 guests. All the guests who attended the event were very impressed with this fabulous site.
The two owners (Monica and Raffaella) were truly professional, kind, friendly and helped us with the organization of the wedding (catering, lights, DJ).
The property also offers a swimming pool in which to relax, as we did before the wedding! The offer also includes bed and breakfast: fantastic room, well renovated, large and with sitting area, as is the breakfast, plentiful and varied (pancakes, croissants, pastries etc), much appreciated.
The quality/price ratio is truly excellent, very competitive!
We had a fantastic experience, which we highly recommend.
Thank you very much Monica and Raffaella from Bob & Susy.

"High Level" Villa

Villa Alta is amazing.
We immediately fell for its balance between the elegance of its architecture and the cosiness of its warm, pastel colors. We didn't want a place which would turn out too cold, austere or dark.

Very easy too reach from Pisa, the Villa is a little bit elevated: a bus is provided, for a short one minute trip to the terrace, from which you can admire a view of the all city of Pisa (Tower included), its surrounding lands reaching the sea. The delightful terrace is also sourronded by mountains and a typical Tuscany landscape ( olive trees, lemmon trees). The adjacent Italian Garden, with its roses and statues of Cherubs, is a little jewel and a very good setting for photographs.

The Villa is made of many rooms, of different colors and very bright: a cheerful and diversified structure, allowing anybody who would need it ( groups of people, parents with children), to have a moment of intimacy, withouth being isolated. Ancient and historically important (here Chianti was invented), the Villa is nevertheless very well maintened, clean, flawless.

Monica e Raffaella were very professional, kind and friendly. They adapted to our specific needs and communication was always smooth and easy. They are very experienced and always ready, for who would need it, to give advice or provide contacts for other services. They speak English and have helped many international couples to get married in their Villa.

Guests were enthusiast. We had challenged the weather, having set the date for October 29th, but even on a cloudy day, the terrace showed a sky full of colors, beautiful, romantic shades.

Last but not least, a special mention to the Bed and Breakfast included in the offer. Spending the night in the Villa, discovering the little paths and views from the garden in the evening and in the morning after... all of this contributed to the uniqueness of the experience. Breakfast was rich and varied (pancakes, croissants, pastries, eggs ...) : a final surprise, very much appreciated (brides are too nervous to eat during their wedding sometimes) , which ended the experience on a sweet note.

In one sentence: We would give Villa Alta even a 6th star if possible.

We celebrated our wedding at Villa Alta and had parts of our family staying some days before and later. Our overall experience was excellent. This was not only due to the place itself (which is a jewel) but also to the two owners (Monica and Raffaella) who helped us a lot with organising the wedding. For example, they suggested and put us in contact with external providers, while leaving the final choices to us and supported us from the beginning to the end.
There are many villas in that area that are suitable for weddings or family events. What convinced us with Villa Alta is that it not only has an amazing view (you can see the tower of Pisa at the horizon and sometimes even the sea) and surroundings but also a very nice and elegant interior. We stayed in the Aranci suite - which is very well renovated with a great tasteful bathroom. The other rooms are also very beautiful. Also our family members who stayed at the Villa praised the unforgettable experience, and the guests who attended the event were all really impressed by this fabulous place.
So all in all an amazing experience, which we strongly recommend. Thank you so much Monica and Raffaella!

Amazing Venue ❤️ Relaxation Guaranteed

Our family stayed at Villa Alta for a wedding nearby, the accommodation was excellent everything was provided, tasty breakfast and amazing views from the hill top position - Monica, Raffaela and their team were super friendly and always available. We all enjoyed our pasta party Welcome Dinner where they catered for 40 guests on the terrace with fabulous views and service. We also used their shuttle bus which seats 8 people for a trip into Pisa, airport pick up and drop off and transport to the wedding venue nearby. We would definitely recommend Villa Alta - a superb venue for all occasions.
