Villa La Palagina

Villa La Palagina can accommodate up to 250 wedding guests using the estate's combination of indoor and outdoor spaces. The limonaia barn seats 90 for intimate dinners, outdoor terraces seat up to 140, and garden areas can host larger ceremonies and cocktail receptions.

The estate sleeps 146 guests at suggested occupancy — up to 196 at maximum — across La Dimora (the 24-room main house), the 15-room Cascina farmhouse with Casa del Fattore, four Casa dei Frutteti apartments, Casa Belvedere, Villa Margherita, the Honey Room, and twelve glamping pods in the Borgo Agricolo. This range of accommodations suits couples, families, and groups of all sizes.

The villa was built in the 16th century on a site previously occupied by a nunnery destroyed by an earthquake. For many years the estate belonged to the noble Ricasoli family of Florence, renowned for their role in developing Chianti wine. The property served as a countryside retreat for Florentine nobility.
