UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN: VENUES IN TUSCANY
02 December, 2022
If you wish to get married in Italy, if you have a delicate soul and love nature, Art and the so-called “la dolce vita”, wedding venues in Tuscany are your perfect choice. Tuscany, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, is well known for its picturesque landscapes, local delicacies and wine, for its rich and fascinating history and Art legacy.
Nowadays, Tuscany is a region hosting some of the most romantic and luxurious weddings. Boundless spaces, wilderness, forests, charming lakes, fairy woods, several “rooms with a view”, vineyards and olive fields. That, and even more, is Tuscany.
First, choose the atmosphere you want to live in on your very special days: in Tuscany, you can equally find hamlets, little churches, ancient and fairy castles, elegant country villas, rustic and vibrant agriturismo (farmhouse), and luxurious historical hotels. Whether you choose to get married and set your reception in its beautiful cities, its countryside, or its seaside, Tuscany offers lots of perfect wedding venues.
You can select your wedding venues based on the number of guests or based on the reception preference: whether your choice is, Tuscany would surprise you with its unforgettable gems.

Historic mansion nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Villa Il Poggiale is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a fancy venue with great service, a refined and joyful atmosphere, a charming ambiance, and the warmth of a family to host you and your event.
Bohemian wedding – The Lazy Olive / Podere Finerri [loc. Finerri, Asciano (SI)]

Born to host/accomodate – Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte [Impruneta (FI)]

You can sleep while I drive – Antica Fattoria di Paterno [Montespertoli (FI)]
The Antica Fattoria di Paterno is nestled in the hills of Tuscany and is considered one of the most picturesque venues where to celebrate a wedding. The view from the Antica Fattoria (lit. Ancient Farmhouse) is amazing, and the inner rooms are gorgeous, perfectly preserved and maintained.

It’s the final countdown...
Whether you are more into nature than art, or love comforts more than a nice view, Tuscany has the right venue for your wedding. Be sure to choose the one that steals your heart, but don’t be afraid to ask for information and show your doubts; people will be happy to help you choose the right place for you.
