Weddings & Receptions at
Castello di Meleto

The Castle’s history also includes a long history of weddings. This enchanting property of extraordinary beauty could also include your wedding in its illustrious history.

Your guests in this villa and they will be enchanted by such special surroundings: they can move from room to room, pause in the sitting rooms, admire the paintings and furniture and then go, with curiosity, into the little 18th century theatre where you can surprise them with a musical performance.

The kitchen made available to your chosen caterers is large, spacious and fully equipped with the most modern appliances. So the food too will leave a pleasant memory for you and Your guests!

You and any of your guests who have come from far off can stay in the Bed and Breakfast rooms situated on the first floor of the Castle, in the Casa Canonica (Priest’s House) next to the Castle, and in the farm apartments.

We can also organise: a guided tour of the Castle and its Old Cellar underground; a tasting of our products; a fine barbecue to welcome guests who are staying at the Castle; a Medieval evening, with live music and singing in a soft, evocative atmosphere lit only by torches, naked flames, oil lamps and candles.

For religious symbolic weddings there is a small private chapel overlooking the square opposite the Castello di Meleto.

For a larger number of guests there is the Romanesque Parish Church of Santa Maria in Spaltenna, that is only 2 kilometres from the Castle. There are other fine Romanesque churches in the immediate vicinity including the Parish Church of San Giusto in Salcio, the Parish Church of San Polo in Rosso, the Church of Vertine, the Parish Church of San Leolino in Panzano and the Commendam of Sant’Eufrosino. Religious ceremonies may also be held in the Castle grounds or rooms.

For registry-office weddings, the Town Hall of Gaiole in Chianti is only 2 kilometres from the Castle, while Radda and Castellina in Chianti are about 10 and 20 kilometres respectively, and  Siena Town Hall in the extraordinary setting of Piazza del Campo!

The Celebrations can be organized as you wish: the entire Piano Nobile (a series of furnished and frescoed rooms which can hold up to 300 people) can be put at your disposal together with the garden, a splendid terrace overlooking the unspoiled panorama of the Chianti hills for enjoying a touch of sun, and the Stables ( Scuderia in Italian), where guests can relax or let themselves go in dancing.
