The 10 Best Villa Wedding Venues in Tuscany for 2026–2027

1. Villa Gamberaia — the garden against which others are measured

Perched above Florence in the village of Settignano, Villa Gamberaia is one of Italy's most celebrated Renaissance villas, and its water parterre garden is studied by landscape architects the world over. Marrying here means exchanging vows in a living masterpiece, with Brunelleschi's dome in the distance. Up to 180 guests. For couples who want the most beautiful garden in Tuscany — and that is barely an exaggeration.

2. Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte — baroque theatre, seven kilometres from Florence

Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte commands its hilltop in Impruneta with a frescoed grand salon that stops conversation mid-sentence. This is the villa for scale: up to 300 guests, formal gardens rolling toward the Chianti hills, and interiors that make every photograph look like a court painting. For big guest lists that refuse to compromise on grandeur.

3. Villa Medicea di Lilliano — a Medici estate in the Florentine hills

Wine has been made at Villa Medicea di Lilliano since the Renaissance, and the estate still bottles its own. Fifteen minutes from central Florence, it pairs Medici pedigree with a working vineyard's ease — aperitivo on the lawn, dinner among the cypresses, the city's lights below. Up to 250 guests.

4. Villa Mangiacane — Machiavelli's view

Legend holds that Machiavelli wrote parts of The Prince at Villa Mangiacane, the Renaissance estate his family owned in San Casciano. Today it's a boutique villa-hotel with sculpture gardens, a vineyard, and a loggia framing the Duomo on the horizon. Up to 100 guests. For couples who want history they can actually sleep in.

5. Villa Parisi — the one above the sea

The wildcard on this list, and our hero image. Villa Parisi stands above Quercetano Bay at Castiglioncello on the Etruscan Coast — a white villa in maritime pines with a 360° view of the Tyrrhenian and private access to the water, 45 minutes from Pisa. Tuscany is not supposed to have coastal villas this good. Up to 150 guests, with a glass veranda for the banquet. For couples torn between Tuscany and the sea: don't choose, have both.

6. Villa Grabau — the botanical park near Lucca

Villa Grabau sits in a vast botanical park at the foot of the Lucca hills — lawns the size of meadows, an 18th-century lemon house for dancing, four independent guest houses, and three pools. It's the complete estate-weekend villa, 40 minutes from Pisa Airport, and one of the most effortlessly photogenic properties we list. For house-party weddings that want room to breathe.

7. Villa Bibbiani — the grand estate with room for everyone

West of Florence among its own olive groves and vineyards, Villa Bibbiani (from €45,000) handles up to 200 guests without ever feeling crowded — a rare combination of true grandeur and true capacity. Sweeping staircases, a romantic park of centuries-old trees, and a team accustomed to large international weddings. For the full fairy-tale at full scale.

8. Villa Catureglio — a thousand years above the Serchio Valley

Villa Catureglio crowns a hilltop near Barga in the Garfagnana — Tuscany's wilder, greener north — with mountain views, a pool terraced into the olive groves, and a millennium of history in its stones. Up to 120 guests. For couples who want their Tuscany dramatic rather than manicured.

9. Villa Tolomei — Florence on the doorstep

Villa Tolomei manages a trick few venues can: a hillside Renaissance villa with olive groves and pool, ten minutes from the centre of Florence. Guests get the city, you get the countryside, nobody needs a long transfer. Up to 150 guests. For weddings where the Florence weekend is half the point.

10. Villa Daniela Grossi — Lucca's quiet stunner

Villa Daniela Grossi is the villa that converts everyone who visits: formal gardens, vineyard rows, and a mountain panorama that turns rose-gold at dinner time. At up to 80 guests it's intimate by design, with the polish of a much grander estate. For couples who want every guest within laughing distance of the head table.

How to choose between them

Match the villa to the wedding's shape. One spectacular dinner for 250? Corsini or Lilliano. A three-day house party? Grabau or Catureglio, where the estate sleeps the party. Florence on the itinerary? Tolomei or Gamberaia. The sea? Parisi, and it isn't close.

Book on Tuscany's timeline, not yours. These ten are exactly the villas that fill 12–18 months out for peak Saturdays — demand for the region's best far exceeds the calendar's supply. Our planning timeline shows what to lock when, our Tuscany cost guide covers what it all costs, and a good local planner can sometimes reach dates that never hit the open market.
