This stunning villa offers so many reception possibilities for your wedding in Florence!

In the next room is the well-stocked cigar room, where you can sample selected spirits and relax with your guests.
In addition to the two restaurants, wedding ceremonies and receptions can be catered for in the amazing private rooms.

The beautiful park and gardens would be ideal for an outdoor ceremony. The Moorish Hall is perfectly suited for a symbolic or Protestant ceremony or exclusive formal wedding reception in Florence. A long imperial table would be divine!
