To round out our series on weddings in Italy, after having discussed the laws and paperwork and practical information that you should know, some Italian wedding traditions that you might want to incorporate if you’re getting married in Italy, and having spotlighted two of our most beautiful rentals in which weddings are held, we thought it might be an idea to put together a list of some of our top-rated wedding properties in Italy. If you are looking to organise a destination wedding in Italy and want to find a place that can offer both accommodation to you and some, or all, of your guests and act as the venue, then look no further. These villas and rentals are all set up for weddings and have hosted weddings in the past and would make for the perfect wedding getaway destinations.

Continuing our wedding series here on Italy Villas, we have been discussing some of our best wedding vacation rentals in Italy. These properties are beautiful, photogenic, can house larger crowds, and are already established as wedding venues. If you have been thinking about a destination wedding in Italy, these are the ideal rentals to pick as lots of the groundwork has already been done for you. In the last post, we spotlighted Palazzo Rosadi near Arezzo but another Tuscan gem that is just as lovely and perfect for a wedding is Villa De Ranieri. This beauty is more luxurious and boasts the most extraordinary gardens and interiors that will ensure that you will enjoy your time and that you will be able to capture the most stunning photographs to commemorate the wedding as well. If you are looking for an excellent vacation rental in Tuscany and want to escape to a perfect Tuscan countryside palace for your wedding in Italy, this is the perfect place to do just that….

For the past week, we have been focusing on Italy as a very special kind of getaway destination: as a wedding destination. In previous posts, we discussed the legalities and necessary information about getting married in Italy as a foreigner and we listed some unique Italian wedding traditions that you might want to incorporate into your wedding if you have found a vacation rental in Italy and are getting married there. However, all these things are only useful if you have found the right place to get married. If you are looking for somewhere that can both accommodate you and your guests and act as the actual wedding venue itself, then this is the article for you! In the next few posts we will be highlighting some stunning villas on our website that are used to, and set up for, hosting weddings in Italy. However, in this article, we are focusing on one of the most beautiful and picture-perfect venues among them: Palazzo Rosadi.

We have been talking a lot lately about the benefits of off-season visits to Italy and some great winter destinations in the country but we thought it might be a good idea to also spotlight some examples of the types of rentals that are perfect for these winter getaways.
