There are so many reasons to jet off abroad and marry in Italy: amazing food, great weather, romance, beaches, rolling hills, historical cities… In fact, you can get all this and more right within the region of Tuscany.
Its capital, Florence, is home to some of the world’s most notable Renaissance art and architecture, and it is surrounded by a diverse natural landscape that encompasses the Apennine Mountains, Elba’s beaches on the Tyrrhenian Sea and and the vineyards and olive groves of Chianti.
However, choosing to get married in Tuscany is one thing, but choosing your venue within the region is another, which can be difficult if you have never been before! That’s why we recommend FH Hotel Villa Fiesole, because it embodies all the wonders of the region in a luxury 4 star villa with stunning views, flawless professional services and amazing food.
