Castle close to Siena
Area: Province of Siena
The historic castle, owned by a noble Sienese family, dates back to the 14th century and was once an important defensive post.
In the 19th century, the castle was almost completely rebuilt by the owner of that time, creating a villa with a garden and a large park, the beauty of which has been partially preserved to this day.
Nowadays, the castle is a property of the Province of Siena. Through careful and elaborative restoration works, which started from the historical heritage of the structure, a unique location was created.
The historic courtyards, elegant rooms, and the emotional atmosphere guarantee an unforgettable celebration in an enchanting setting, unique and authentic.
Each wedding can be planned according to the couple’s preferences in the large outdoor facilities or the halls that can accommodate up to 150 people. For example, the slightly smaller courtyard is ideal for an aperitif, before reaching the large green areas through the majestic entrance gate of the castle, which are ideal for the feast.
Being at the same time somewhat hidden in the middle of nature, but easily and quickly accessible from the motorway and expressways, the castle offers exclusive suites that harmoniously combine elegance, modern comfort, tradition, and luxury.
A breakfast room and large terraces where meals can be served in summer, various lounges, a TV room, a reading room, and a lounge are available to guests.
On-site accommodation: 12 (+); furtheraccommodations (80+) within less than 2 km away
