The group
All wedding stays at Villa Pitiana have a minimum stay of two nights. During each wedding stay, Villa Pitiana hosts only one wedding, whether the property is booked on an Exclusive Use or Partial Use basis.
The estate offers 55 rooms and apartments, accommodating up to 140 guests on site, with breakfast included. This makes Villa Pitiana particularly suited to destination weddings where family and friends can stay together at the same location and enjoy several days of celebrations.
Wedding events can take place across the property, including the English-style gardens, panoramic terraces, pool area, historic cloister and frescoed indoor halls. Different spaces can be used throughout the wedding stay, from welcome events and ceremonies to dinner and dancing.
Villa Pitiana also has an established indoor Plan B for rainy or unsuitable weather, using the Villa's historic frescoed halls and indoor reception spaces so that the wedding celebration can continue comfortably.
A dedicated in-house wedding planner and coordinator is included in the venue rental, supporting the couple throughout the entire planning process, from the initial stages through to the wedding day and the end of the stay. Acting as a dedicated point of contact throughout the journey, the coordinator helps plan and oversee the wedding as a whole, liaising with the couple, the Villa team and all relevant wedding suppliers to coordinate the different aspects of the celebration and ensure that everything comes together smoothly from start to finish.
Villa Pitiana is an official municipal venue for civil wedding ceremonies, allowing couples to hold their legally recognized civil ceremony at the estate, officiated by the local municipality.
Outdoor music is permitted until 11:30 PM. For exclusive-use weddings, indoor celebrations and dancing are not subject to a time restriction.
Set in the rolling hills of the Valdarno, just outside Florence, Villa Pitiana is a historic Tuscan villa and destination wedding venue surrounded by 20 hectares of gardens, olive groves and ancient woodland.
Originally built as a fortified farm and later home to a Benedictine community, the estate was transformed into an elegant noble residence in the 19th century. Today, Villa Pitiana retains its historic character through frescoed rooms, antique furnishings, original architectural details and its distinctive English-style arboretum.
The result is an authentic Tuscan setting for couples looking to celebrate their wedding in Italy, while bringing family and friends together for a multi-day destination wedding experience.
All wedding catering and beverage services at Villa Pitiana are provided by the Villa's in-house culinary team.
Our wedding menus are based on fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, with a strong focus on authentic Italian and Tuscan cuisine. The Villa offers an established selection of wedding menus designed to suit the different events of a destination wedding.
Couples can choose from the Villa's available options for the different events of their stay, including welcome dinners, BBQs, pizza parties, brunches, formal wedding receptions and late-night refreshments.
The in-house kitchen and wedding team coordinate the food and beverage service across the different events of the celebration, with agreed dietary requirements taken into consideration during the planning process.
Villa Pitiana is designed for multi-day destination weddings, bringing accommodation, wedding celebrations, food and guest experiences together in one historic Tuscan estate.
From the arrival of the first guests to the final farewell, the Villa provides a setting where families and friends can stay together, celebrate across different spaces and enjoy the atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside near Florence.
A wedding at Villa Pitiana is therefore not only a wedding day, but an opportunity to share several days together in Tuscany, with the Villa as the setting for the entire celebration.
