Weddings in Florence: a unique Renaissance city surrounded by history and art...

Villa Sofia near Florence

Venue location 
Sixteenth century villa, restored and transformed into an elegant Mansion surrounded by greenery but conveniently located close to the ancient heart of Florence. It is a green and silent haven, "a world apart" from the near-by city.
From Spring to Autumn guests can enjoy the heated swimming pool and relax under the trees of the romantic garden.

Reception venue description
The Villa is the historical residence of a noble Florentine family. It was built in the sixteenth century around an older Medieval tower. The ancient splendor of the villa endures and it has been enhanced by an accurate renovation. The chapel or the theatre of the Villa are the ideal locations for symbolic ceremonies while wedding receptions can be easily arranged on the beautiful panoramic terrace, by the pool or in the elegant Orangerie.

Wedding banquets
The Aperitif will be  stylishly arranged by the pool or the terrace. Spruce outdoors can host banquets on sunny days and a smart Orangerie, carefully decorated, will be the perfect solution in case of bad weather.

Cuisine
Elegant waiters will serve sophisticated plates mixing old traditions and new tendencies in a stunning setting. The meal will be accompanied by the Tuscan DOC wine produced in the vineyards of the Villa.

Accommodation
The comfort of a luxury hotel combined with the privacy and luxury of a private house, in the middle of the beautiful hills at a walking distance from Ponte Vecchio. The location preserves the freshness and privacy of a 16th-century "Gentleman's house" with large rooms and wide outdoor spaces, among vineyards and olive-groves.
The Villa accommodates up to 47 people. Guest rooms are tastefully furnished with elegant period pieces and lavish fabrics which are in keeping with the architectural style of the building. Spouses are hosted for free in the Royal Suite for their first night as husband and wife where they can enjoy sauna and a private Jacuzzi!

When
All year round 

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction
