An Untamed Estate with a Medieval Castle at Its Core

Spanning 2,400 hectares of untouched wilderness, Castello del Calcione is a sanctuary of deep forests, rolling hills, and two serene wild lakes. At its heart lies a medieval castle, a timeless centerpiece that bears witness to the stories and life unfolding within this secluded haven. Whether you seek a tranquil week of serenity or the setting for the most unforgettable event of your life, Castello del Calcione offers it all. With no neighbors and no boundaries, this estate promises endless space, complete freedom, and an authentic taste of Tuscany in its most unspoiled and wildest form.

Romance

For couples looking to fully settle into the mood of the place, we also offer a romantic welcome in the room: cold bubbles (Prosecco or Champagne), fresh fruit, and flowers arranged with care. It’s an experience designed to help guests feel not just hosted, but genuinely celebrated

A Celebration That’s Entirely Yours

For life’s most meaningful moments—a proposal, anniversary, or wedding—Castello del Calcione offers a setting like no other. Renting the estate is more than just booking a venue; it’s an invitation to experience complete privacy and freedom. With no neighbors or sound restrictions, your celebration can unfold naturally—whether it’s exchanging vows in the olive grove, dining under the stars in the castle courtyard, or dancing until dawn. Each event is uniquely crafted, limited to just a few each year, and thoughtfully tailored to reflect the couple’s vision.

One unforgettable moment was a sunset proposal atop the castle’s round tower. A private dinner for two was arranged with candlelight, linen-draped tables, and golden hills stretching endlessly around them. As dessert arrived and the light softened, he proposed, and she said yes—so overwhelmed, she forgot the dessert entirely. They spent the night in the Marchese Room, with champagne waiting and breakfast in bed the next morning. Quiet, intimate, and timeless—just like the estate itself.

Weddings at Castello del Calcione

Castello del Calcione hosts a limited number of weddings each year, ensuring every celebration receives personal care and attention.

With outdoor and courtyard spaces accommodating up to 500 guests, and trusted local partners arranging additional accommodations for larger weddings, every guest is seamlessly cared for.

Couples are free to design their day exactly as they envision it—whether it’s a sunset ceremony beneath the trees, a garden aperitivo with live music, or dinner and dancing under the stars. Guided by our dedicated on-site team, every detail is thoughtfully shaped to reflect the couple’s story and style, creating a celebration as unique as their love.

What to Do

For couples who cherish the outdoors, even one day at Castello del Calcione can become a romantic tale. Imagine a slow horseback ride through the hills as the light shifts, or a canoe drifting across the hidden corners of the lake, surrounded by reflections of the forest.

A Dinner to Remember

One of the most romantic ways to experience Castello del Calcione is through food. It might start with a glass of wine in the garden at sunset, then lead to a private dinner for two at the very top of the castle’s round tower—just you, the view, and the soft flicker of candlelight. With the Tuscan hills stretching out in every direction and no one else around, it feels like the world has narrowed to a single, perfect moment. The next morning, breakfast in bed adds a gentle, quiet finish...
