Set on a landscaped hilltop between Florence and Siena, Villa Collalto is a 15th-century aristocratic estate with the feel of a private hamlet: manicured Italian gardens, a panoramic pool and sun deck, tennis court, and generous salons that open to terraces with long Tuscan views. The main house pairs historic character with easy comforts, while the annexes and wellness touches—sauna, heated jacuzzi, small gym—turn a wedding stay into a slow, elegant house party. It’s a secluded, green pocket of Val d’Elsa, yet well placed for day trips and guest logistics.
For overnight capacity, the villa sleeps 26 guests across 13 bedrooms in the main house, with a further three double rooms in the dependance to reach a total of 32. Indoors, the interconnected dining rooms comfortably host up to 32 seated, while the gardens allow you to scale the alfresco celebration as you wish; in case of rain, a marquee is the sensible back-up beyond the 32-guest indoor threshold. Collalto typically works best as an exclusive-use, multi-night rental, with many operators offering weekly, Saturday-to-Saturday stays for a smooth destination-wedding rhythm
Ceremonies and cocktails flow naturally between the courtyard, the lawns and the pool terrace; there is also a small private family chapel on the estate for intimate blessings, while legal civil rites are usually arranged at nearby town halls or churches. Catering is fully bespoke, supplier choices are flexible with owner approval, and on-site experiences—from relaxed pool days and barbecue brunches to cooking classes—keep guests happily anchored on property. Travel is straightforward, with Florence airport about fifty minutes away and Pisa roughly 100 km; Siena sits within easy reach for culture-rich excursions.
Accommodation: 16 rooms for up to 32 guests
