Castle Monte

If you dream of a romantic wedding at a real medieval castle rich in history and art, surrounded by Florence's beautiful scenery, yes then this venue can be the perfect spot!

The Castle is in the middle of a vast estate cultivated with vineyards and olive trees, harmoniously integrating itself into nature in perfect balance between architecture and landscape. After passing the majestic facade, the central courtyard immediately transmits a sense of severe austerity, but soon passing through the halls illuminated by the large windows, in the sloping gardens, in the sequence of rooms, one lives a shining and delicate sense of life, until it flows, in the great eighteenth-century salon, in a more refined and lighter atmosphere. 

Castle Monte is a medieval castle build by the Florentines in 10th-11th century, immersed in the beautiful nature of the province of Florence. Both the indoor and the outdoor spaces show the typical signs of the different historical ages that has followed one another.

The medieval origins of the castle live side by side with the Renaissance modernization: an ancient tower with battlements, wide halls illuminated by large windows and enriched with beautiful frescos and refined furniture, elegant Italian gardens with hedges and flowers, a stone courtyard with portico. The beauty of the place is completed by 360° panoramic views to the green hills, cypress lines and wide vineyards. 

The castle holds a great history and art treasures, a frescoed room by Severini, and few people know that the castle was chosen to host some valuable works of Renaissance art which were transferred here from Florence's main museums. Masterpieces such as "The Spring" by Botticelli, Giotto's “Madonna di Ognissanti” or Ghirlandaio's ’”Adoration of the Kings" were located in its beautiful halls until 1945, when they were officially returned to the Uffizi Galleries.  

The Castle offers a series of apartments and outbuildings within its walls, from different sizes but always very spacious, all furnished differently to meet the most varied tastes.

The evocative atmosphere of the castle is perfect to hold an elegant wedding ceremony, which can be organized for example in the garden or in the courtyard, and a romantic wedding reception, which can take place either at the courtyard, panoramic terrace or at the Renaissance restaurant.

The restaurant will offer you a wide range of typical Tuscan delicacies prepared with local organic products and accompanied by the best wines of the area, such as Sangiovese and Chianti. 

Here you can enjoy the large swimming pool, the garden, a walk to the nearby small village, visit a nearby castle with a wine tasting and much more.

Just half an hour away from Florence, the castle is also close to many other artistic cities worth visiting, such as Arezzo, Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena and Lucca among the others.
