A Timeless Tuscan Villa in the Heart of Chianti – Where Your Story Becomes a Masterpiece
Perched on the rolling Chianti hills, this 18th-century villa—dating back to 1737—offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside and an atmosphere rich with history and romance. Fully restored to its original splendor, it opens in July 2025 for unforgettable weddings and elegant events.
Enchanting Spaces for Every Moment
Three panoramic gardens can host up to 200 guests, each offering a different atmosphere for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or dinner. Couples are free to choose their favorite corner and backdrop—olive trees, vineyard views, sweeping hills, or centuries-old stone walls.
Inside, a majestic ground-floor hall welcomes indoor ceremonies or receptions for up to 100 guests, blending intimacy with grandeur.
The villa’s frescoed 18th-century noble floor is available for unforgettable portraits or for designing a special moment of your celebration—such as a first look, cake cutting, or a private toast amid historic art.
A Full Wedding Weekend Experience
Just 300 meters from the villa, within the same estate, you’ll find our charming farmhouse with 7 apartments and a beautiful swimming pool—the perfect setting for a full wedding weekend.
Here, you can host:
-
a relaxed welcome dinner the night before
-
a joyful brunch the day after
-
a fun and stylish pool party with your loved ones
Additional accommodations are available nearby for larger groups.
On-Site Wedding Coordinator Included
One of the villa’s greatest strengths is our dedicated in-house wedding coordinator—a highly experienced industry professional.
This service is ideal for couples who prefer not to hire a full wedding planner but still want:
-
a reliable point of contact
-
expert help throughout the planning process
-
guidance in selecting trusted local vendors
-
seamless coordination on the wedding day
For couples wanting full-service planning, we are happy to recommend exceptional wedding planners we regularly collaborate with.
Civil Ceremonies & Tailor-Made Celebrations
The villa is authorized to host legally binding civil ceremonies, and couples can choose any spot on the property that best fits their vision.
We collaborate with several excellent catering partners, each offering customized menus and setups to help you create the wedding of your dreams.
An elegant countryside celebration, a sun-soaked Tuscan weekend, a memory that lasts forever.
This villa isn’t just a venue—it’s the perfect backdrop for the beginning of your forever.

Meet the team
Hi! I'm Mavi, and I've been working in hospitality and events for over 15 years. In recent years, I’ve focused more on weddings and private events, taking care of every detail and coordinating unforgettable celebrations in various venues.
I’d be happy to show you around the venue and walk you through all the possibilities it offers. From there, you can choose to work with a trusted wedding planner I can personally recommend, or if you prefer, I can help you find the right vendors and take care of coordinating your wedding day.
Whatever your vision is, I’ll be by your side to help bring it to life.
What an american bride said about me:
Mavi’s services were the absolute best money I spent on my wedding!
Planning an Italian wedding from overseas was extremely stressful, so I found and hired Mavi a few months before my big day. From the moment we connected, she made the entire process so easy and straightforward. She went above and beyond from the start, visiting our venue ahead of time, building a great rapport with the owner, and offering up her trusted network of vendors (who were all incredible!).
On the day of the wedding, she took care of absolutely everything, from coordinating setup to keeping the timeline and all vendors on track, so I could truly relax and enjoy my day. She had all of my trust and confidence, but she still exceeded expectations and facilitated an absolute dream wedding.
If you're an American bride planning from abroad (or honestly, any bride at all!), I wholeheartedly recommend Mavi to help make your day seamless and unforgettable.
