WEDDINGS
Wedding venue in the Mugello
Fattoria Il Palagio is one of the better-known houses in the Mugello, a few kilometres from Florence, among the hills that run up towards the Emilian border.
The spaces suit most shapes of wedding: the giardino all’italiana and the old cellar carry the warm months, while the rooms indoors and the small fireplace room take over when it turns cold or the weather breaks.
The Italian garden
The formal garden is where most couples hold the ceremony. Because the villa is a registered Casa Comunale, the legally binding civil ceremony can take place out here rather than at the town hall. Clipped hedges, flowers, long sight-lines and a stand of cedars of Lebanon planted generations ago do the rest.
The reception rooms
The rooms inside are large and adaptable, and they hold up in any month of the year. If the weather turns, they carry the same atmosphere as the gardens rather than feeling like a fallback.
Each has its own character: the upper room with exposed beams, the lower room under the brick arches of the old granary, the small fireplace room for a more intimate sit-down, and the seventeenth-century cellar. High ceilings, old stone and the kind of detail no marquee can imitate.
Tuscan cooking
The food is cooked by our own brigade. There is no outside caterer to coordinate and no kitchen to hire in. The team has done this many times and will take you through the menu, from the aperitivo in the garden to dessert, built on whatever the Tuscan growers around us are doing well that season.
The wedding service
We plan it and then we run it: the set-up, the suppliers, the timings, the order of the day — agreed with you beforehand and handled on the day, so that you are not the ones watching the clock. Everything is built around what you actually want rather than a fixed package.
The menu comes from our restaurant, and guests staying the night have four rooms in the grounds. For dates, availability and a quote, write or call us.
