Belmond Castello di Casole is a restored tenth century castle on a private Sienese estate of more than four thousand acres.
What you gain is the quintessential Tuscan castle and its vast land, with thirty nine suites, a chapel, a wine cellar and an amphitheatre.
What you trade is a low budget and a quick trip, since a wedding here means a privatised estate and a stay of at least two nights.
Belmond Castello di Casole is a luxury hotel set in a beautifully restored tenth century castle near Casole d'Elsa, ringed by a four thousand two hundred acre estate of vineyards, olive groves and forest. The castle can be privatised for exclusive weddings of twenty six to one hundred and fifty guests, with the Limonaia Terrace for larger banquets and the smaller Tosca Terrace and San Tommaso chapel for intimate gatherings. Thirty nine suites house the wedding party, with a reservation of at least ten rooms requested, so it suits a celebration that unfolds over several days.
A castle and its own country.
Belmond Castello di Casole crowns a hill near Casole d'Elsa in the Sienese countryside, a castle with roots in the tenth century restored into one of the most complete estate hotels in Tuscany. What sets it apart is the land. The castle sits at the centre of a private domain of more than four thousand acres of vineyards, olive groves and woodland, so the views in every direction belong to the estate, and the sense of seclusion is real rather than borrowed.
For a wedding the castle is privatised. Exclusive celebrations run from twenty six to one hundred and fifty guests, with the Limonaia Terrace for larger banquets, the Tosca Terrace and the San Tommaso chapel for smaller and more intimate gatherings, and an ancient amphitheatre and wine cellar among the spaces across the estate. Thirty nine suites house the closest party, and the hotel asks for a reservation of at least ten rooms for a wedding, which makes Casole a multi day Tuscan home rather than an evening venue.
The honest truth is that this completeness comes at a cost. A privatised Belmond castle with two nights of accommodation begins well into six figures before the catering and production are counted, and the rural setting means everything arrives along country roads. It rewards couples who want a true Tuscan castle with its own land, the polish of a Belmond hotel and a celebration that runs across several unhurried days.
The practical things, told straight.
A wedding at Castello di Casole is a privatised estate stay, so the spend and the planning are both substantial. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly, since the season, the guest count and the rooms taken move the total well beyond the headline minimum.

Staying over
