After the ceremony, no need to worry about where to host the party, the village has a 200m² terrace where guests can walk the cobbled streets undisturbed before sitting down to a delicious meal amongst the grandeur of a village all with friends and family.
Italy:
Villa Monte Nero, Tuscany
Villa Monte Nero is a beautiful old stone farmhouse that is a dream venue with fairytale lighting, spa facilities and 40 acres of land. The recently renovated villa has kept its rustic charm and sits upon its own estate offering breath-taking 360-degree views of the surrounding area. To further the romance, the bride and groom can arrange a live band to play outside for the couple’s first dance to take place under the stars. The property provides the perfect set up for a serene outdoor wedding with alfresco dining.
Castle Mago, Tuscany
Castle Mago is a 16th century castle that is set on the Tuscan coast with beautiful views of the sea and Elba Island. This romantically historic residence retains all its original characteristics and offers guests a once in a lifetime experience. Previously the former residence of Leopold II, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the castle still offers a truly regal experience.
