Why it’s special
Hidden in the Val di Merse near Sovicille, Borgo di Recenza is an early-medieval hamlet surrounded by woodland, olive groves and long lawns. At its heart sits La Villa, a historic mansion with a manor courtyard and gardens designed for alfresco moments. The atmosphere is intimate, rustic and quietly elegant.
Ideal for
A multi-day, house-party wedding. The estate works beautifully for close-knit celebrations up to about 50 guests. Your inner circle can stay within the borgo’s three independent accommodations, with the main villa sleeping around 16; additional on-site units add further beds, and the rest of the party can lodge nearby. We coordinate rooming and transfers so everything stays close.
Wedding experience
Hold a symbolic ceremony in the garden or on the piazza beside the villa’s twin staircases. Then move into golden-hour cocktails and a long-table dinner under lights. If the forecast shifts, there are two indoor “plan B” options that link directly to the outdoor areas, so the mood remains seamless. We curate catering, bar, lighting, music and styling with our trusted suppliers.
Capacities and layout
Ceremony: lawn or piazza within the borgo.
Aperitivo: olive-grove edge or the upper garden.
Dinner: courtyard for circular or long-table layouts; adjacent halls as an elegant fallback.
As planning benchmarks, on-site guest capacity peaks around 50 for the main night; indoor spaces suit intimate seated plans. We right-size floor plans to reduce moves and protect sightlines for photos.
Good to know
You’re roughly 20 km from Siena, which keeps logistics easy for town-hall paperwork or church rites in the area; on site, ceremonies are symbolic only. The setting is peaceful and green, reached by a scenic tree-lined road. We manage timelines, transport, production and styling end to end, so the weekend stays calm and beautifully paced.
Accommodation: An ancient villa recognised as a historic residence and two apartments: Villa (capacity: 16 people) 7 rooms + 7 bathrooms; Oliera (capacity: 7 people) 4 rooms + 4 bathrooms; Casa a scale (capacity: 7 people) 4 rooms + 3 bathrooms
Max wedding guests: Up to 50 guests
