Why it’s special: hidden in the hills just outside Siena, Relais La Costa is an 11th-century hamlet with stone-arched courtyards, wide valley views and a serene wellness area with spa and indoor pool. Life here unfolds between the panoramic terrace, the cloistered lanes and the seasonal outdoor pool, with the estate’s restaurant, La Sosta del Viandante, anchoring the food and wine experience. The property’s roots trace the old Via Francigena, so the setting carries a quiet, storied charm.
Ideal for: a multi-day, house-party wedding where your inner circle stays on site. There are eight elegant suites sleeping around thirty guests, and additional rooms are easy to secure nearby. Stays are typically exclusive-use with a two or three-night minimum depending on the days of the week. For guests flying in, Florence is about 1 hour 10 minutes and Pisa roughly 1 hour 35 minutes
Wedding experience: you can hold a legal civil ceremony on the property, then wander from an aperitivo by the pool to dinner in the courtyard or on the panoramic terrace. For a Catholic mass, the frescoed church of San Lorenzo a Colle Ciupi is just a couple of kilometres away. The venue works beautifully for celebrations up to about forty-five guests, with a permanent marquee as an elegant wet-weather or shoulder-season fallback
Good to know: catering is in-house via the restaurant team, events can run until 1:00 a.m., and the property requests a professional wedding planner, with trusted local partners available. Onsite capacity is thirty across eight suites; indoors, La Sosta seats about twenty-five, while the marquee increases covered capacity to around sixty.
Accommodation: 30 guests in 8 spacious Suites (15 beds)
Max wedding guests: Up to 45 guests
