Three-Day Wedding Packages in Italy: 8 Venues Built for the Full Weekend (2027)

The running order: what three days actually hold

Day one is the exhale. Guests arrive through the afternoon, find their rooms, and gather for a welcome dinner that should be the wedding day's opposite: long tables, no seating plan, pizza from the wood-fired oven or a Puglian barbecue rather than a plated menu. This is where the two families actually meet — not across a receiving line, but over a second bottle of the estate's own wine. The venues in this guide all price this evening gently: Borgo Castelvecchi runs pizza parties at €40 per person against wedding menus of €135–155, and Borgo del Carato offers BBQ, pizza and Sicilian welcome dinners alongside its main catering.

Day two is the wedding — with one structural luxury a single-day venue can't offer: no clock running on the setup or the teardown. The florist dressed the pergola yesterday; the band's kit stays where it is tonight. And because everyone sleeps where the party is, the evening ends when it ends — Borgo Castelvecchi can extend the celebration to 4am — rather than when the last minibus leaves.

Day three is the one guests talk about afterwards. A late breakfast that slides into a pool day, the couple actually present rather than in transit, and the wedding replayed over coffee in the courtyard. It costs the least of the three days and returns the most; all it requires is a venue where nobody has anywhere else to be.

Minimum stays and who pays: how the packages are structured

Venues built for this format don't sell you a date; they sell you a residency. Masseria Salamina sets a three-night minimum for exclusive use. Borgo Laticastelli asks for two nights in April and October, three from May through September. Borgo del Carato skips the pretence entirely and prices itself as a two-to-three-day package. Villa Il Poggiolino in the Valdichiana lets for three nights at a time and calls it a three-day wedding. Couples sometimes read minimum stays as a cost trap; in practice they're the weekend you were planning anyway, formalised — and they buy you the setup time, the late finish, and the recovery day in one contract. The right comparison between venues is never the day rate: it's the full weekend, all-in, which is the exact framing our hidden costs guide is built around.

1. Masseria Salamina — the Puglian original

A 17th-century masseria outside Fasano, immersed in centuries-old olive trees and the Mediterranean scent of lavender and oregano, Masseria Salamina is the three-day wedding in its purest form. Exclusive use means all 20 rooms — mezzanine rooms, farmhouse apartments, and the manor house — sleeping 40 or more of your inner circle for the three-night minimum, with eleven distinct event spaces to move the weekend through: welcome dinner in a courtyard, the wedding among the olive trees or in the modern glass greenhouse, the last morning by the pool. Up to 120 guests, a flexible music policy, and exclusive use from €19,800. For couples who want the weekend to feel like a village that happens to be theirs.

2. Borgo del Carato — Sicily's honest package

On 90 hectares of carob and centenary olive groves near Palazzolo Acreide, an hour from Catania Airport, Borgo del Carato prices the three-day weekend the way couples wish everyone would: €14,500–17,500 for two to three days of exclusive use, rooms and breakfast included. Twenty-seven rooms sleep 60–65 on site, a restored Baroque chapel anchors the ceremony, a nearly 200-square-metre saltwater pool anchors day three, and internal catering serves Sicilian menus from €110 per person, with barbecue and pizza formats for the welcome night. Capacity runs to an enormous 300 outdoors and 140 indoors. For couples who want the whole weekend on one legible bill — our Borgo del Carato cost guide builds it line by line.

3. Borgo Laticastelli — the medieval hamlet, entire

Near Siena, Borgo Laticastelli — 'the castle where light comes from all sides' — hands you a complete medieval hamlet: 32 air-conditioned rooms with 80 beds inside the historic walls, panoramic terraces for up to 130 guests, an in-house restaurant and F&B team, and covered spaces for 100 if the weather turns. The minimum stays are the weekend's skeleton — two nights in April and October, three from May to September — and exclusive use starts from €25,000. For couples whose guests should wake up inside the wedding, not commute to it; our Laticastelli cost guide puts full weekend numbers on it.

4. Borgo Castelvecchi — a village from 1043, until 4am

In Radda in Chianti, Borgo Castelvecchi rents you a thousand-year-old village in two sizes: the 18th-century villa plus surrounding stone houses sleeping 65, or the entire borgo sleeping 100 — both with buffet breakfast, cleaning, and VAT included, and children under 12 staying free. The weekend writes itself around the estate: welcome-night pizza at €40 a head, wedding menus at €135–155 with the property's own Chianti Classico, a chapel from the 18th century, a thousand-year-old wine cellar, and a party that can legitimately run to 4am because every guest's bed is a staircase away. Our Castelvecchi cost guide works the full budget.

5. Villa Il Poggiolino — three nights in the Valdichiana, as the family runs it

Near the walled town of Lucignano, between Arezzo, Cortona and Montepulciano, Villa Il Poggiolino is an eighteenth-century residence in seven hectares of private park, let for a minimum of three nights, one wedding at a time. The family who own and run it call it a three-day wedding, and their sample weekend is the running order above almost line for line: pizza al fresco on the first evening, an afternoon ceremony and dinner in the olive grove on the second, yoga and a farewell brunch on the third. The villa sleeps 20, the couple in the bridal suite, with 10 more at the family's sister house 3 km away; the park takes up to 80 guests outdoors and the house 50. The price is published: €15,300 with 20 sleeping in the villa, three nights' accommodation, the €2,800 wedding fee, the €2,000 cleaning fee and VAT included, or €21,100 with 30 sleeping across both houses, with catering from the family's recommended caterer or the couple's own. Fireworks are allowed.

6. Villa La Palagina — the Chianti estate with room to roam

Thirty kilometres from Florence, Villa La Palagina spreads a 16th-century main house — the 24-room La Dimora — plus the 15-room Cascina, four apartments, estate houses, and twelve glamping pods across a 110-hectare working estate of vineyards and olive groves — 146 guests sleeping on site at suggested occupancy (196 at maximum), and up to 250 celebrating. The geography does the weekend's programming for you: aperitivo on the panoramic terraces (seating 140), the wedding dinner in the rustic limonaia barn (seating 90), the recovery day between the outdoor pools. Exclusive weekend use of the entire estate can be arranged, which for three days makes 110 hectares of Chianti effectively your garden. Full numbers in our La Palagina cost guide.

7. Guadalupe Tuscany Resort — the Maremma crowd-pleaser

In the Maremma near Grosseto, Guadalupe Tuscany Resort sleeps a remarkable 100 guests on site and hosts up to 150 — numbers that put the everyone-stays weekend within reach for a big guest list. The wedding day it hosts is the full Italian fantasy in sequence: ceremony in the olive grove, aperitif buffet with live music, dinner, open bar with a DJ, and — because the venue permits them — fireworks at midnight. Exclusive use from €15,000, with a helipad for the one guest who insists. For couples who want scale without splitting the party across half a province.

8. Novanta 90 — a hamlet in its own valley

Novanta 90 is a restored Tuscan hamlet at Terranuova Bracciolini whose accommodation — studios, suites, cottages and holiday homes spread across Borgo di Gello and Castello di Gello, all stone walls and terracotta floors — sleeps around 120 guests, against a wedding capacity of 150. The valley setting means the weekend unfolds across named places your guests will still reference years later: La Tettoia, the Summer Garden, the Orchard, the Amphitheatre, the pool terrace. Exclusive use from €18,500 makes it one of the strongest value propositions in Tuscany at this scale — our Novanta 90 cost guide shows how far it stretches.

How to choose between them

Start from the sleeping number, not the party number. If the whole guest list stays on site, the sleeps figure sets your guest count — 20 at Il Poggiolino (30 with its sister house), 40-plus at Salamina, 65 at Carato, 100 at Castelvecchi or Guadalupe, 120 at Novanta 90. If you're happy with the inner circle on site and the rest nearby, every venue on this list works at full capacity; our guide to venues where every guest stays on site goes deeper on that first path, and our guest count guide helps you set the number before you shortlist.

Then match the register. Puglian farmhouse ease with eleven spaces to wander: Salamina. One transparent package and Sicilian scale: Carato. The medieval-hamlet fantasy, entire: Laticastelli or Castelvecchi. A family-run villa in the Valdichiana at a published three-night price: Il Poggiolino. An estate weekend with Florence in reach: La Palagina. Big numbers, fireworks included: Guadalupe. A valley of your own: Novanta 90.

And book on the weekend venue's timeline. These properties sell whole weeks of their calendar at a time, which makes peak Saturdays scarcer than at single-day venues — 18 to 24 months of runway is normal for the borghi and big estates. Our venue availability guide explains how those calendars actually move, our exclusive-use guide covers the contract mechanics, and the budget calculator turns your guest count and region into a full weekend estimate in seconds.
