Proposal
4: 
This castle, built by a noble family in the 12th century, is situated near thermal springs and amidst the green woods and hills of the Crete Senesi, between Siena and Arezzo.
The venue, surrounded by former farmhouses, comprises a school and a church, and forms a secluded, unspoilt entity.
Here you can concentrate on the beautiful things in life.
The estate of 650 ha is made up of vineyards and olive
groves.
In the beautiful church which belongs to the castle, catholic and
protestant wedding celebrations are allowed.
The former farmhouses are restored with care, and now accommodate
a total of 46 apartments.
Some of the apartments are situated directly in the tower of the castle,
others in the surrounding cottages.
A surrounding forest, two lakes for sport fishing, several swimming
pools and a tennis court are all part of the property.
Dreamlike weddings (with up to 150 people seated) can take place in
the courtyard of the castle, in the surrounding park or in the characteristic
hall with vaulted ceiling: in good weather the aperitif can be served
in the garden and the reception in the courtyard.
You really have to be here by yourself to feel the magic charm of
this medieval venue.
The in-house restaurant prepares homemade pasta and
places value on presentation. The restaurant has long standing experience
with weddings, and will professionally cater to your individual requests.
A place of rare beauty, where feelings become tangible…a wonderful
location for your Tuscan wedding experience!
The
"Special Extra" ...
In the fascinating ambience of castles and palaces, an enjoyable country-style
evening before the wedding will provide a charming and suggestive atmosphere
for your wedding.
Surprise your guests with a medieval evening: pages that serve typical
dishes, court ladies and knights that dance on the melody of medieval
songs, the lights of torches and candles, and minstrels who make an
appearance.
After dinner everybody can participate in the Renaissance dances.
Another nice suggestion is the engagement of a magician that entertains
your guests during the wedding party and takes them into a different
world… partly with performances for all the guests, and by performing
directly at the individual tables.
