If you are looking for a medieval castle wedding in Tuscany, this 12th century fortress-castle overlooking the hills of Siena is a wonderful choice. The castle is part of a spectacular estate that encompasses 645 hectares. It is adjacent to a tiny village and includes a charming 16th century Catholic church. The estate also makes available a number of traditional Tuscan guest houses of differing sizes which allow you and your guests to fully experience life under the Tuscan sun.
The Medieval Fortress can handle very large groups. In the summer there is nothing so magical as a candlelit wedding banquet in the courtyard as the sun sets behind the surrounding hills. Indoor receptions can be planned in a variety of halls including the spectacular medieval room with vaulted arches.
The castle has a restaurant and small bar for guests who do not wish to cook their own meals. It is possible to book dinners in one of the three beautifully decorated rooms situated on the ground floor or an informal lunch in the garden during the summer season.
