We rented out the entire castle for a week to serve as a wedding location/vacation post for 41 of our closest family and friends.
For the castle, everyone had an amazing time. It is centrally located in tuscany and our group enjoyed being able to do quick day trips to surrounding cities and towns. At the castle, we enjoyed hiking around the area, bike riding, playing tennis and swimming in the pool. We loved having our own private rooms if folks wanted to retreat and also loved the big open spaces for group dinners, etc. All of our friends and family say that the week at the castle was the best vacation they have ever been on, and we quite agree!!
We had our wedding ceremony in the main courtyard, with appetizers under the Linden tree and dinner in the main hall. The venue was absolutely perfect and Diana and Alessandro were so very helpful in the planning process. Our wedding was magical and to be quite honest, there is nothing that I would change about it (food, flowers, etc. were all perfect!!). It was great having everything in one location and even better that no one had to drive after the drinking and dancing late night.
Overall, I cannot say enough positive things about the Castello and I really do hope to visit again. Our group loved it so much that we are hoping to try to organize a reunion here in a few years, it was magical and amazing and exceeded all of my expectations.
