General Property Comments |
 |
| A decision to marry meant for us a decision to start out on an immense
journey together, an adventure that would last for the rest of our lives.
Such an important decision can not be taken lightly and so we were very
careful in planning all aspects of the wedding. Most importantly we wanted
to bring our family and friends to a warm and loving environment, a
special place that would remain in our memories for a long time to come.
We choose the Villa because we could see how much
love and dedication they had put into the restoration of the building and
the gardens
Imagine how happy we were when we arrived and were welcomed so warmly by
the owner Giulio, his son Brian and most surprisingly the Villa itself. The building
has personality. Its speaks in gentle, soothing tones. It is so beautiful
to look at that the mind stops dead in its tracks and comes to a total
rest.
We spent a full week here, our guests arriving over a period of days. On
Saturday 11th October we were married in sunshine out on the grass
overlooking the valley below. Giulio organized everything for us. In the
afternoon we sat down to a feast that lasted into the early evening.
Giulio selected the chef who was magnificent, creating a meal of the best
Tuscany has to offer. We listen to a very talented local band playing
beautiful ballads acoustically. We relied completely on Giulio's
understanding of the kind of wedding we wanted and he got it just right.
The music, the food, the wine, the stunning Tuscan sunlight flowing ochre,
orange, red tones made a magical day that none of us will forget.
