Castel Monastero is a castle hamlet in the Chianti countryside near Siena, run as a five-star resort. Couples marry on its old square or in its small church, and 70 suites and rooms keep up to 140 guests on site.

The story

A wedding on the square of a Tuscan hamlet

Castel Monastero is a whole hamlet rather than a single building, and weddings use it that way. Blessings take place on the old square, or in the castle's little church dedicated to Saint Jacob and Saint Christopher, which holds up to 30 people. Civil, religious and symbolic ceremonies can all be arranged.

For the reception, the square can be laid for a banquet of 150 guests, or for a cocktail party of 200. Later in the evening the party can move down to the cellar of the Cantina restaurant for a disco, and a relaxed brunch in the garden the next morning rounds off the weekend. Every setting is dressed to your taste and served with the resort's own catering.
