Villa di Ulignano Wedding

Indulge in the relaxed atmosphere and complete privacy of this secluded XVII Century villa surrounded by the unspoiled Tuscan countryside.

Set on top of a hill between Volterra and San Gimignano, Villa di Ulignano is one of the top destinations for a Tuscany wedding. This stunning venue is an ideal location for a Tuscany weekend wedding because of the many indoor and outdoor areas available for the wedding day and satellite events.

Villa Ulignano was built between 1608 and 1615 on the remains of an older castle, the castle of Ulignano which for centuries had been under the control of the municipality of Volterra to defend its borders from the nearby city of San Gimignano.

The villa was designed to reflect the style of contemporary Florentine villas. Around the villa a large park was planted to separate the main villa from the farmhouses. Attached to the villa there is also a Church built in the early fourteenth century and modified several times.

In order to arrange a Villa di Ulignano wedding you are required to book the venue in exclusive use for at least 3 nights (1 week in summer). Ulignano accommodates in the main Villa 22 + 4 guests and in the adjacent detached house 8 + 3 guests for a total of 37 people (maximum capacity 40).

This spectacular venue is ideal for wedding parties from 40 to 90 people; for bigger group it may be required to rent a marquee in case of adverse weather conditions.

Symbolic, Protestant or non-denominational wedding can be celebrated in one of the gardens overlooking the countryside; after the ceremony the cocktail aperitif is usually set near the pool or under the pergola at sunset.

Our recommended place for the wedding banquet is the semi-circular gravel area surrounded by cypresses in front of the main facade of the villa. This space is truly magic and at night time a fairy tale atmosphere can be designed using festoon lights over the tables or coloured uplight lamp to illuminate the villa facade.

For satellite events such as a Tuscan traditional welcome dinner, a pizza party, pool party or BBQ other stunning areas are available such as the backyard of the villa, the pool area or the pergola.
