Ceremonies in chapel and Nymphaeum

A private villa in the hills outside Florence, furnished with Poltronova design and Italian Pop Art, with extensive gardens and a Nymphaeum for secular ceremonies

Church ceremonies, including baptisms, communions and weddings, can be held at the Church of Bonistallo, a few minutes away, or in the small villa chapel on the property. Secular ceremonies such as civil unions, blessings and symbolic rites take place at the Nymphaeum in the Belvedere Garden, an outdoor setting that overlooks the Medici Villa of Poggio a Caiano with Florence in the distance.
