Why it’s special: set among the rolling hills of Barberino Tavarnelle between Florence and Siena, Tenuta Tegolato is a Chianti farmhouse surrounded by more than 80 hectares of vineyards and olive groves. The residential core is a cluster of independent, classically furnished apartments, framed by stone porticoes and a scenographic pool that opens onto a broad lawn. A small wellness area connects to the main spaces, with hot tub, sauna and hammam, so the stay feels like an elegant country house retreat. At sunset, the valley becomes a natural set for cocktails and photos.
Ideal for: a relaxed, intimate weekend wedding with your closest guests staying on site. The estate offers apartments for around 35 guests in total, renovated to modern standards, and works best for receptions of roughly 50 to 100. Travel is easy, with Florence about 45 minutes away and Pisa around an hour and twenty. Stays are typically two to three nights, with the option of a full-week exclusive in peak season.
Wedding experience: the lawn by the pool is perfect for a symbolic ceremony and golden-hour cocktails. For dinner you can choose the garden or the hall beside the restored cellar, which serves as an elegant plan B and seats about 75. Supplier policy is flexible and external caterers are welcome. Between moments, tastings of the estate’s wines and simple countryside experiences round out the weekend.
Good to know: the location is ideal for day trips to San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Certaldo, Florence and Volterra. There are barbecue areas on site, and the wide lawn is perfect for picnics among the vines. The signature pool features two infinity basins, with a children’s section and an adults’ lane roughly 17 metres long.
