Venue overview
Everything you need to know
The Lazy Olive is an eighteenth-century villa set among the rolling hills of Tuscany, surrounded by olive groves, medieval villages and wide countryside views, on the Finerri hill 8 km from the village of Asciano and a short drive from Siena, Montalcino and Montepulciano. The oldest part of the house is recorded as a country church from around 1200, and by 1728 the villa had the U-shaped plan it keeps today. Every wedding is designed by the venue's own planning team, from an intimate, bohemian ceremony in the countryside to a lavish and sophisticated celebration, for up to 150 guests in the open air. Food is at the heart of the place: the villa's own kitchen cooks every wedding menu, with fresh, seasonal and organic ingredients, much of it grown on the estate or sourced nearby. As the sun sets, the party moves beneath the fairy lights of the courtyard, where there is no curfew and the open bar runs to more than 80 cocktails. Eleven double bedrooms sleep 33 guests beside the pool, with more villas close by. Three nights' accommodation starts from about €17,400, and a three-day wedding for 50 guests from about €20,000 more.

About this venue
The Lazy Olive — wedding venue in Asciano, Tuscany
Podere Finerri, the house now known as The Lazy Olive, stands on the Finerri hill at 320 metres, 8 km from Asciano. The oldest part of the building is listed in historical documents as an old country church, a pieve, dating from around 1200; by 1728 the villa had the whole U-shaped plan it has today, and it appears on the Catasto Leopoldino drawings of 1820 as a farmhouse on the Finerri hill.
Only about 50 olive trees remained when the present owners came; they planted 350 more in 2002 and another 400 in 2015, alongside an organic vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen. The villa describes itself as a place of warm hospitality and attention to detail, with a commitment to sustainability, where beautiful surroundings, exceptional food and cherished moments come together.
