Tuscany Wedding Venues by Region, Price and Style: The 2027 Guide
DOCUMENTARY MODERN EDITORIAL | DIGITAL & FILM
Pick the area first, then the venue
Tuscany has more wedding venues than any couple can visit, and most lists online give you thirty names and a pretty photo of each. Lovely for daydreaming. Not much help when you have to choose.
So this guide works the other way round. Use the buttons below to filter by region, price and style, and every venue comes with the boring details that actually decide things: roughly what it costs, how many of your guests can sleep there, how far it is from the airport, whether there’s a planner on site, and where it sits on the map.
I’m Miks, a destination wedding photographer working in Italy and Spain for couples from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. I’ve photographed weddings at Villa Medicea di Lilliano, La Selva Giardino del Belvedere and La Pescaia, so part of this list is written from behind the camera. The rest is the research I’d do if I were planning my own Tuscan wedding.
How to read the prices
Here’s the thing nobody tells you about a “from €22,000” price: it rarely means the same thing twice. One venue’s number is exclusive use for two nights for 38 people, Monday to Thursday. Another’s is the garden only, for one evening, with catering on top. Comparing them side by side is like comparing hotel prices without knowing how many nights you booked.
So on every card I say what the price covers, when the source says it. If a venue doesn’t publish anything, it says “on request”, not a guess. The bands in the filter are for venue hire before catering: € under about €15,000, €€ about €15,000–40,000, €€€ €40,000 and up.
Prices are estimates from venue sites, price lists, and wedding directories, checked in November 2026. Venues change their rates every season, so always confirm with them.
Start with the map: every venue in this guide, coloured by area, so you can see how far each one is from Florence, Pisa and the coast. The filters and cards are right below it.

Florence and its hills
The easiest choice for guests flying in. Florence airport is 20–30 minutes from most hill villas, Pisa about an hour, and your guests get the city for the welcome dinner and the countryside for the big day.
Fiesole, Settignano, Bagno a Ripoli and Impruneta still give you cypress lines and olive groves; you just don’t get the endless empty hills. Many garden villas here have few rooms, so guests stay in town and you run a shuttle.
Best for: guests who want a city break, weddings of 100–250, anyone nervous about long transfers.
Chianti
Vineyards, stone castles, small winding roads and wine at every meal. Most Chianti venues are 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes from Florence, and many are working wine estates, so in September it’s harvest season and the whole place smells of it.
Guests usually sleep on site or in the farmhouses around, which makes Chianti a natural fit for a weekend where everyone stays together.
Best for: the classic “wine estate in the hills” picture and weekend weddings.
Siena and the Val d’Orcia
This is the Tuscany from the postcards: the zigzag cypress roads, Pienza, Montalcino, the bare hills turning gold in June. It’s also 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours from Florence, so it works best as a three-day wedding where nobody leaves.
Prices here run the full range, from small farmhouse estates under €20,000 to some of the most expensive resorts in Italy. And the hills have almost no shade, so the ceremony goes late.
Best for: the famous landscape and a long weekend with everyone on site.
Lucca, Pisa and Volterra
The quieter, greener side of Tuscany, and the closest to Pisa airport (often 30–60 minutes). Lucca’s villas have formal gardens, lemon houses and long avenues; around Volterra and San Gimignano it gets wilder.
It’s also where you find some of the best value, because it’s less famous. You pay for the food and the view, not the postcode.
Best for: guests flying into Pisa, garden-villa weddings, couples who’d rather spend on dinner.
Maremma and the coast
Southern Tuscany: big estates, umbrella pines, the sea 20–30 minutes away. It’s 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours from Pisa or Florence, and it feels more like a holiday than a wedding weekend.
I photographed Laken & Chad’s three-day wedding at La Pescaia here: a welcome party, the wedding, and a pool party the day after. That tells you the vibe.
Best for: multi-day weddings, a beach day for the guests, a more relaxed Tuscany.
Arezzo and Cortona
Eastern Tuscany, between Chianti and Umbria: hill towns, the Valdarno, big estates like Il Borro, about an hour from Florence.
La Selva Giardino del Belvedere, where I photographed Emilie & Jake’s wedding, sits on the Chianti–Valdarno edge of this area, with olive groves all around and some of my favorite drone views in Tuscany.
Best for: Chianti-style countryside without Chianti prices, and day trips to Cortona or Arezzo.
PICK THE AREA.
THEN COUNT THE BEDS.
THEN FALL FOR THE VIEW.
Beds matter more than the view
After 350-odd weddings, here’s the order I’d decide in. First the area, because it decides the airport, the drive, and the whole rhythm of the weekend.
Then the number of people you want sleeping on site. A villa that sleeps 20 and a borgo that sleeps 120 are two completely different weddings: one is a dinner party, the other is a small village you take over for three days.
Then the view. Almost every venue in Tuscany has a nice view. Very few have 44 beds and a real rain plan.

Music, catering and planners
Three things vary a lot between Tuscan venues, and you won’t see them in the photos.
Music. Some villas stop amplified music outside at midnight; others let you dance until 2 am, or have no limit if you rent the whole place. If your crowd parties, ask this first. The cards show it where the venue publishes it.
Catering. Some venues only allow their own kitchen; others only allow outside caterers, which means you need to find one. Neither is better, but it changes your budget and your planning time.
Planner. A handful of venues include an on-site planner; many expect you to bring your own. For a destination wedding, I’d have one either way. Here’s my list of wedding planners in Tuscany and my honest answer to whether you need one.
One venue, many settings
Here’s something most venue lists won’t tell you. A typical Tuscan villa isn’t one space. Most give you at least three different areas, often more: a garden, a terrace, a courtyard, a loggia, a cellar, a spot with the big view.
So you decide where the ceremony, the aperitivo and the dinner happen. Don’t just copy the classic setup the venue shows every couple. Walk the grounds, think about where the light will be at each moment of the day, and build your own flow.
Your guests get a day that keeps surprising them, and your photos get real variety without anyone getting into a car.
GETTING THERE AND STAYING
Airports: Florence (FLR) is small but close to the Florence, Chianti, and Arezzo venues. Pisa (PSA) is the bigger one, about an hour to Florence and 30–60 minutes to Lucca and Volterra. Many guests fly into Rome or Milan and take the fast train; for the Val d’Orcia and the southern Maremma, Rome is a fair option at about 2 hours.
On the day: central Florence is a limited traffic zone (ZTL) and the roads up to hill villas are narrow. A shuttle from one or two pickup points makes the day much calmer.
Where guests stay: most villas sleep 15–45 people. The usual setup is family and the wedding party on site, everyone else in Florence or a nearby town. If you want everyone together, filter for the borghi and resorts that sleep 80 or more.
Minimum stays: many estates ask for 2–3 nights in high season, so plan the weekend, not just the day.
What a Tuscan wedding really costs
Venues rarely publish prices, so here are real numbers from weddings I photographed. At La Selva Giardino del Belvedere, Emilie & Jake’s wedding for 70 guests came to about €45,000 in total (2025). At La Pescaia, Laken & Chad’s three-day celebration for 50 guests cost roughly €70,000, of which the venue was about €25,000. I broke that budget down in my La Pescaia wedding cost post. Comparing regions? I keep the same kind of list for Puglia wedding venues and Lake Como venues and costs.
| Venue type | Rough venue hire | Rough total, 70–100 guests |
|---|---|---|
| Small villa or farmhouse, 1–2 nights | €4,000–20,000 | €35,000–70,000 |
| Villa or estate, 3-night buyout | €20,000–45,000 | €60,000–120,000 |
| Luxury resort or castle | €50,000–175,000+ | €150,000–400,000+ |
All-in: catering usually runs about €150–300 per guest at a mid-range villa and €250–700 at luxury resorts, plus flowers, a planner, music and transport.

A photographer’s tips for Tuscany
Plan around golden hour. In June, the sun sets around 8:45 pm; in late September, closer to 7:15 pm. Start the ceremony about two hours before sunset, so there’s soft light for portraits and dinner begins as the sky turns pink.
Skip July and August if you can. The midday heat is intense, the light is harsh, and guests melt. May, June, September, and early October are much kinder.
No shade in the Val d’Orcia. The famous hills are bare, so the ceremony goes late and the aperitivo even later.
Have a real rain plan. Spring storms happen. Venues with beautiful indoor rooms take the stress out of checking the forecast every hour.

FAQ
How much does a wedding venue in Tuscany cost?
From about €4,000 for a small farmhouse out of season to €175,000 or more for two nights at a luxury resort. Most villa and estate weekends for 70–100 guests land between €20,000 and €45,000 for the venue alone.
What’s the best area of Tuscany for a wedding?
It depends on your guests. Florence and its hills are easiest for travel, Chianti gives you vineyards within an hour, and the Val d’Orcia has the famous landscape but needs a three-day stay.
Which Tuscany wedding venues can sleep all our guests?
Borghi and resorts such as Borgo Pignano, Il Borro, Castel Monastero, Castello di Velona and Villa Lena sleep 75–160 guests. Most villas sleep 15–45.
Which airport is best for a Tuscany wedding?
Florence for Florence, Chianti and Arezzo venues, Pisa for Lucca, Pisa and Volterra, and Rome or Florence for the Val d’Orcia and the Maremma.
Can we get legally married at a Tuscan wedding venue?
Usually not. Civil ceremonies happen in a town hall or a licensed room, so most couples sign the papers at home and have a symbolic ceremony at the venue.
How far ahead should we book a venue in Tuscany?
12 to 18 months for a Saturday between May and September. Weekdays and April or October dates often work with less.
Do Tuscan venues include a wedding planner?
Some do, most don’t. Villa Catignano, Villa Catureglio and Villa Lena list an on-site planner; many villas expect you to bring your own.
Is a Tuscan wedding cheaper midweek or out of season?
Yes. Weekday and shoulder-season dates are often much cheaper, and a few venues cost less than half in winter compared with June.
