Framed by olive trees and rolling Tuscan hills, the outdoor swimming pool at Burlamacchi Villas is a serene retreat designed for both relaxation and celebration.

The turquoise water mirrors the soft blue sky, while stone loungers and linen-draped daybeds invite guests to unwind between wedding events. It’s the perfect setting for a pre-wedding welcome aperitivo, a poolside brunch the morning after, or simply an afternoon of sun-soaked leisure with loved ones.

Subtle lighting transforms the space at night — ideal for twilight cocktails or a relaxed gathering beneath the stars. The pool can also be styled for editorial-style photo shoots, intimate ceremonies, or late-night dips to cap off the celebration in barefoot luxury.

Towels, refreshments, and discreet service are always on hand, ensuring that the atmosphere remains elegant and effortless.

Wellness at Burlamacchi Villas is woven into the rhythm of Tuscan life — slow mornings, sacred rituals, and a deep connection to nature.

While the estate does not have a traditional spa complex, it offers a bespoke wellness experience that feels more personal, curated, and exclusive. Guests can enjoy on-demand treatments in the privacy of their suite, under the olive trees, or in a quiet garden pavilion.

Signature offerings include:

• Aromatherapy massages using locally sourced lavender and rosemary oils

• Restorative facials with organic Tuscan botanicals

• Holistic body treatments and reflexology sessions

• Couples’ massage rituals curated for pre-wedding calm or post-wedding reset

• Sunrise yoga or meditation sessions on the panoramic terrace or poolside platform

For the bride and groom, personalised pre-wedding rituals can be arranged — from tension-melting massages to beauty treatments and wellness teas crafted to calm the mind and body.

This is wellness with soul — grounded in tradition, elevated by nature, and designed to leave every guest feeling radiant, rested, and ready for celebration.

Burlamacchi Villas offers an intimate yet flexible setting for weddings, ideally suited to elegant gatherings that strike a balance between grandeur and authenticity.

• Indoor Celebrations: The villa’s historic salons and dining rooms can comfortably accommodate up to 70 guests for a seated dinner, surrounded by Renaissance-era architecture and curated interiors.

• Ceremonies: Symbolic ceremonies are typically held in the olive grove, lemon garden, or beneath the estate’s signature fig tree, with panoramic countryside views as the backdrop.

• Cocktail Receptions: Flexible indoor and outdoor lounge areas are available for aperitivos, live music, and casual mingling before or after the main event.

• Poolside Gatherings: The estate’s tranquil pool area can be transformed for welcome events or next-day brunches, with space for up to 50 guests in a relaxed, barefoot-luxury setting.

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a multi-day wedding weekend, Burlamacchi Villas adapts beautifully, offering soul, space, and story in every detail.

At Burlamacchi Villas, dining is not merely a meal — it’s a curated celebration of Tuscan tradition, artistry, and seasonality. Every wedding menu is thoughtfully composed by the estate’s culinary team and local chefs, using handpicked ingredients sourced from nearby farms, olive groves, and vineyards.

Expect golden focaccia served warm from a wood-fired oven, delicate burrata paired with heirloom tomatoes, handmade pici pasta tossed in wild boar ragù, and seared Chianina beef crowned with rosemary jus. Vegetarian and vegan options are equally imaginative, drawing from the region’s rich botanical palette.

Receptions may begin with a sunset aperitivo on the lemon garden terrace — spritzes, prosecco, and antipasti — followed by an elegant al fresco dinner beneath the stars, or a candlelit indoor feast within the villa’s frescoed salons.

Wine pairings are curated in partnership with boutique Tuscan vineyards, offering guests a sensory journey through Chianti, Bolgheri, and Montecarlo. Late-night wood-fired pizzas or gelato carts can be added for a playful, crowd-pleasing twist.

Tasting menus and full customisation are available to reflect the couple’s tastes, cultural preferences, or theme, whether you're dreaming of a rustic-chic Tuscan table or a fine-dining experience with Michelin flair.

Burlamacchi Villas is available for weddings and exclusive events from April through October, taking full advantage of Tuscany’s most enchanting seasons.

Couples typically book the estate for a minimum three-night stay, creating space for welcome dinners, the wedding celebration, and relaxed post-wedding brunches. The estate encourages full buyouts, offering complete privacy across both villas, gardens, terraces, and pool areas.

Peak months include May, June, September, and early October, when the landscape is at its most romantic and the golden Tuscan light lingers well into the evening.

Due to high demand, especially from international couples, we recommend booking early — ideally 12 to 18 months in advance for prime weekend dates.

Shorter stays and weekday weddings may be considered upon request, depending on season and availability.

The estate sleeps up to 40 guests across its two villas — ideal for buyouts or exclusive retreats. Each suite is uniquely styled, with some featuring four-poster beds and clawfoot tubs, while others offer views over the valley. The Bridal Suite, set in the oldest wing of the villa, opens onto a Juliet balcony with sweeping Tuscan views — perfect for morning vows or golden hour portraits.
