Wedding in a Tuscan Castle
Wedding in a Tuscany Castle - Where?
This enchanting castle rises in the heart of the Chianti Classico, near the picturesque village of Gaiole in Chianti. Close to Florence and Siena.
Venue description
Massive 13th century castle with a very special elegant and exclusive atmosphere. In the beginning this castle belonged to the Benedettini Monks of the Coltibuono Abbey and the name of this castle is mentioned for the first time in 1269 in the precious “Libro degli Estimi” of the Florentine Guelphs as property of the Ranieri de Ricasoli family. Over the centuries the Ricasoli Family has enlarged and improved the structure. Therefore today the castle keeps not only its fifteenth-century massive fortifications with the imposing cylindrical tower built against the artillery but also the elegant grace of a noble villa with its furnished and decorated rooms. The castle is surrounded by the most beautiful and peaceful countryside. The interior halls are all decorated with enchanting frescoes, stuccos, period furnishings that still today are perfectly maintained by the present owner.
