Best location & Organisation we could have chosen

We couldn't have chosen a better place for our wedding. The venue is beautiful, set on top of a hill with stunning views over the Tuscan wines and can hold over 100 guests in a traditional villa and romantic borgo apartments to stay for a whole weekend.
The team around Barbara, Daniele, Sophia and Lorenzo is next to perfection. Everything goes. We had a party crowd from Berlin who raved for three nights on and sometimes until late in the morning. Still we were greeted with smiles and helpfulness the next day on the market square with a tasty breakfast.
In general, the food is very very good and we were impressed by Sophia and Lorenzo how they manage all the catering.
To top this all up Daniela the go to wedding planner of the venue is simply the best. Everyone stays calm in stressful times and can be reached via WhatsApp to organize special wishes at the very last second. It is so relaxing to have the possibility of a well oiled machinery of vendors ready at site who all know each other, have already worked together and come at competitive prices.
During the day you can parties at the large pool, sit in the beautiful garden, go for a walk through the vineyards or visit the neighboring town of Radda in Chianti.
Thanks to Barbara, Daniela, Sophia, Lorenzo and Daniele who made a perfect wedding for us! Hope to see you all very soon! Lots of Love!

Where do we start…

We viewed 6 venues in Tuscany before we found Castelvecchi and we are so so glad that we did! The venue and location are stunning, but the reality of our wedding weekend exceeded our expectations exponentially

We had 102 guests but it still felt cost and intimate. The on site team were phenomenal. All the preparation took place around us seamlessly. Nothing was too much hassle, even a few last minute changes were accomodated and adapted to without fuss.

The villa is a stunning location for the wedding breakfast, whilst the borgo square was a warm and welcoming setting for the other meals. The pool was an awesome size for everyone to celebrate at a post wedding pool party with us, and the team even created a bar and served lunch for us all at the pool.

The surrounding vines and valleys provide a tranquil setting as well as a show stopping backdrop for our wedding pictures.

We couldn’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a beautiful spot for their Tuscan wedding.

Beautiful wedding

We celebrated our wedding 5 years ago at Castelvecchi. It was an amazing weekend which we and our friends & family will never forget. Starting from the pizza party on Friday night, pool parties during the day, the fact that the entire wedding party was able to sleep at the location, to the friendly staff from Castelvecchi. Everything was a highlight.

Absolutely amazing!

We planned and had our wedding in Castelvecchi on Sep 9th, 2023 - around 55 guests from different parts of the world.

Barbara and her team made the stay for us and our guests to be super pleasant, easy and extremely comfortable. The flexibility was so good! No dramas or disappointments with last minute change of plans and/or re-arrangements.

I’d highly recommend this place!

Borgo Castelvecchi is outstanding and truly unique place

We had our wedding for 90 guests in July 2022 and could not have asked for a better venue. Castelvecchi is the most magical place to get married.
During preparations Barbara was responsive, organized and brilliant to work with. She knows the venue and suppliers extremely well and went above and beyond for us on our special day. Barbara helped us contact suppliers including our florist, photographer and cake supplier. We could not have had the perfect day without Barbara and will be forever grateful to her for all of her hard work and dedication to making everything run smoothly. The restaurant team, Vittorio, Lorenzo and Sofia are also one of a kind. The food and wine across our 3-days of wedding celebrations were superb. Lorenzo is an exceptionally talented chef and makes the best tiramisu in Italy. The restaurant staff were kind and friendly, whilst ensuring everything went as planned. These four people (Barbara, Lorenzo, Sofia and Vittorio) made our special wedding weekend the best experience of our lives and were wonderful to work with. We cannot recommend this venue more - it is unique and so special. Thank you Castelvecchi!

A Tuscan Dream Come True!

We live in the United States and had a destination wedding at Borgo Castelvecchi in September 2022, and it was absolutely amazing as a wedding venue that we highly recommend!

We loved our experience here and wouldn’t have changed anything. It’s a great option for couples coming from America who want to give their guests an unforgettable and authentic Tuscan wedding experience, and we found it to be an incredible value relative to what we see in the United States. The property is huge with ample space to craft your own wedding experience, and the fact that so many guests can stay onsite and enjoy a full weekend with you made the destination wedding experience extremely special and unique.

We had an 80-person wedding and the venue was perfect for that size. All of our close friends (~65 people) stayed in the hotel rooms on the property and loved their accommodations as each room is charmingly Tuscan and completely unique. There was a great mix of individual rooms and apartment-style rooms, and having all of our friends onsite with us made for a truly special weekend where all of our best friends got to spend so much quality time together and with us.

Our family members stayed in Radda, the small town a ~10 minute drive from the venue which they absolutely loved. And it was easy to arrange shuttle transportation for guests staying offsite to and from the venue through the team at Castelvecchi.

The property itself is beautiful, located on top of a hill with panoramic views of the stunning Tuscan countryside making for a beautiful scene when guests arrived. All of our guests said it was a breathtaking drive, were immediately charmed with the venue, and were able to quickly get settled upon arrival and head to the beautiful pool/garden area to relax after checking in.

We held our welcome party in the main square which was the perfect place for a casual and free-flowing welcome event that helped everyone ease into the wedding weekend. The following day, we held our ceremony in front of the 17th century villa which was an incredible backdrop to get the wedding started, followed by an aperitif in the main borgo square. Our dinner was held under the portico attached to the villa with two long tables that sat our 80 guests, followed by dancing under the portico and a late night party in the room attached to the portico. Each location was perfectly suited for each stage of the wedding.

The Castelvecchi staff were incredible! It rained all morning the day of our wedding and they worked seamlessly with our planner to adjust plans in real time to ensure we had contingencies in place should the rain continue. It rained long enough that we had to shift to some of our backup plans, but they were able to keep everything outside regardless and once the rain stopped helped ensure that everything came together beautifully.

Vittorio and his hospitality team were amazing - delivering incredible food and wine throughout the weekend from snacks to the main dinner. And Barbara who manages the rooms was a wonderful host who ensured everyone got into the proper rooms without issue and was able to check out late on Sunday if needed. Every staff member was incredibly nice, friendly, and attentive. They worked with us and our planning team to really make the space ours for the weekend and did so in a low-stress, easygoing way.

The Perfect Venue!

We cannot rate Borgo Castelvecchi highly enough as a wedding venue.

The venue is so picturesque and peaceful. It’s private and feels like a home from home. The fact you can have the entire place for your friends and family made our whole wedding experience so special.

The rooms and apartments were all different but all elegant and with authentic Italian interior design. Whenever there were small issues with the rooms - for example, lights not working or showers not draining properly, Barbara would get it sorted within hours and made us feel like nothing was a problem.

The different areas within the venue were all perfect and there were lots of options to ensure we utilised all parts of the venue. The pool was great, the pergola area and view was exceptional and the square and villa settings were just beautiful.

The food at the restaurant was delicious across all the days of our wedding. Sofia and Lorenzo run an incredible service and could not have been more helpful with our guests dietary requirements. The staff were all friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and relaxed. The prices for drinks were also so reasonable.

Barbara has been lovely to be in contact with. She is fast to reply with helpful voicenotes, flexible with all services, very accommodating and relaxed.

We had an amazing wedding weekend at Borgo Castelvecchi. There was nothing negative we could say apart from it was over too soon and we wish we could do it all again!

Thanks to everyone at the venue!

Dream wedding - Andreas & Catharina

The venue is very beautiful and charming. Good wines, and the food is amazing. Very friendly staff as well. We had pizza party and wine tasting on Friday. The pool was used a lot by all the guests. We got married in August 2024, and we had 65 guests. The whole weekend was perfect! This is the perfect location, you don’t have to look further 😍

Beautiful venue!

Our experience getting married at Borgo Castelvecchi was a dream! Barbara, Daniele, Sofia, Lorenzo, and all the staff were incredible. The accommodations, food, and service could not have been better. They all spent so much time and effort helping us plan and organize everything from a distance. They were friendly, quick to respond to emails and calls, and went above and beyond to help organize transportation for our guests and coordinate with other suppliers. I could not recommend getting married here enough! We wish that we could relive it all over again!
