Tuscan Castle for Weddings and Events

Make your destination wedding dreams come true at a 1,000-year-old Tuscan castle overlooking the Italian countryside, with horses, olive groves, stone walls and storybook accommodations.

Castello di Ristonchi is the perfect place for a relaxed celebration that’s all about bringing your family and friends together for a great time in a beautiful place. You and your guests get to stay in an ancient rustic castle secluded on a mountaintop. Here you’ll have the entire place to yourselves with the opportunity for beautiful outdoor or indoor dining and ceremony as well as a large outdoor fresh spring water pool and amazing hiking and cycling trails through the forest.
Up to 80 guests can stay onsite in our charming castle apartments furnished in typical Tuscan rustic style.

Take your first married sip of Prosecco and snack on bruschetta and Italian meats and cheeses while local musicians set the mood on the stone terrace.
Eat a 4-course dinner made by amazing chefs with fresh locally grown ingredients while surrounded by olive trees under the glow of bistro lights. Watch your friends and family enjoy themselves and the Tuscan wine while the sun sets before you.

After everyone has had a slice of your delicious millefoiglie wedding cake head inside for the dance party in the ‘Rave Cave’ — which is exactly what it sounds like: a beautiful stone room with an arched ceiling and a disco ball that turns this Gothic dungeon into a party space with no curfew.
We have a beautiful consecrated chapel on the property if you desire a church wedding as well as stunning outdoor locations on the terrace, in the ancient forest, the silver-green olive groves, or a wide-open field. We are able to host civil ceremonies anywhere on the property.
There is an outdoor pool and playground to keep any kids or kids at heart occupied while others can relax in the sun with a glass of local wine, visit Florence by train or car 30km away, grab some Gucci at the nearby designer outlet mall, go golfing, take a winery tour or stay put for an organized activity such as a yoga class, foraging hike or horseback riding.

We offer full catering from brunches, pizza parties, BBQs, and 4-course wedding dinner with delicious and Tuscan modern menu options. We use fresh seasonal products that we find locally or by fair trade. We provide fresh mountain spring water in glass jugs to reduce plastic. We differentiate waste - recycling and composting and strictly limit the use of disposable products.
