From stately villas to picturesque castles, taking in agritourisms and vineyards, there are truly any number of ways to spend your special day in Tuscany, and each of them is bound to be stunning whether you choose north, south, east or west.
Timeless Florence
The Renaissance city sits at the top of many couples’ lists, and for good reason. Nestled in its valley that’s embraced by the hills, it’s a paradise for culture lovers, and indeed lovers. Bring your nearest and dearest here for a memorable celebration in the city of Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei and Leonardo da Vinci, where every direction you look you’re presented with a gallery, museum, centuries-old monument or architectural treasure like Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, and of course the Brunelleschi’s Duomo. History walks hand in hand with you here as you start your life together.
Sienese style
Head to the heights of the Sienese hills to elevate your love. Toast to each other in the vineyards as the sun sets on your most perfect day with breathtaking views on all sides. Culinary delights are bound to delight all in attendance, with typical treats like pici, pecorino and budino di riso a must-try while in the area. Dating back to Etruscan times, this historic city now has a medieval feel as the narrow streets lead you from one magnificent piazza to another, making sure not to miss the world-renowned Piazza del Campo. As another historic city of art, the backdrop to your vows is undoubtedly going to be spectacular from whichever angle you choose.
Historic San Gimignano
The 13 proud towers of San Gimignano herald your new beginnings powerfully. Known as the Manhattan of Tuscany, its dramatic impact made it the setting for famous films by the likes of Zeffirelli and the Taviani brothers. Well-worth choosing even just for the top-quality food and wine, the delectable bites will be savoured all the more in the hilltop town that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Your eyes will be drawn to the architectural treasures such as Palazzo del Popolo and the Cathedral and the countryside is dotted with villas and other venues that are the things of dreams.
Lovely Lucca
The Tuscan gem protected within its walls offers a safe and welcoming shelter to share your vows. The intimate feeling is ideal for gatherings of your closest loved ones to create unforgettable memories in an equally unforgettable setting. Known as the town of 100 churches, it’s a historic fort and sits within a breathtaking land-scape run through by the river Serchio and peppered with medieval towns. A Roman amphitheatre will thrill history buffs and nature fans will want to walk the magnificent gardens for hours and hours.
