A medieval castle estate in the Tuscan hills, now a Belmond hotel, where weddings move between lawns, terraces, a chapel and an amphitheatre.
Castello di Casole in Casole d'Elsa
Castello di Casole is a castle estate in the Tuscan countryside at Casole d'Elsa, now a Belmond hotel. The heart of the hotel was once a medieval castle, built to take in the sprawling views. The aristocratic Bargagli family cultivated the site further in the 1800s, and the Visconti family and its parties added a splash of Hollywood grandeur in the twentieth century. The history of the estate winds back to the Etruscans, and from the vegetable gardens to the restaurants each detail honours those Etruscan roots, grounded in a vision of self-sufficiency. Rolling Tuscan hills surround the castle, and two grand cypress-lined lanes ascend to it.
The estate is a venue for weddings with many gathering spaces, and a team of bilingual and seasoned event planners sees to every detail. It encompasses vineyards, olive groves and a model game preserve, and exists in harmony with the land, a modern vision inspired by a time-honoured heritage of caring for the landscape. There is a pond for reflecting, fountains to inspire and paths for taking in the year-round glory of Tuscany. The same setting welcomes honeymoons, family celebrations and milestone moments as well as weddings, and the hotel is also used for corporate meetings and conferences.
