Q: Catering

Whether you’re planning a long table banquet under the stars or a lively garden buffet scene, weddings at San Fabiano are as much about the joy of gathering, and enjoying out of this world food, as they are about the setting. The venue works with exceptional local chefs and catering teams to deliver seasonal, personalised menus rich with the bold, rustic flavours of Tuscany. Guests might start with aperitifs and antipasti served among the lemon trees, followed by a long, leisurely dinner in the Pavilion or courtyard. There’s the option to host a pizza night using the estate’s wood-fired oven (always a crowd-pleaser) and to add flourishes like a gelato cart, dessert tables, or late-night bites to keep the energy high into the evening. The drinks setup is entirely flexible: you can bring your own wine and spirits (with no corkage fees), hire a professional bar team, or let the venue recommend a trusted service. From elegant cocktails and Tuscan reds to casual prosecco toasts, the focus is on what suits your style and budget best.

Question 1

About Castello di San Fabiano

Accepted Answer

San Fabiano is an estate rich history and Italian soul. Originally built as a signalling tower in the 1200s, the castle was later converted into a fortified farm and has evolved into a beautiful example of Tuscan architectural layering over the ages. Today, it offers a unique mix of medieval towers, Renaissance details, and 19th-century farm buildings, surrounded by olive trees, lemon groves, wildflowers, and sweeping parkland.
The castle’s grounds include manicured gardens, several characterful event spaces, a swimming pool with hydromassage beds, and views across the scenic Crete Senesi. Guests can stroll between lawns, courtyards, and terraces, spotting roe deer and pheasants, sipping aperitifs under jasmine arches, or lounging poolside soaking in the wonder of the estate and its countryside setting.

Question 2

Ceremonies

Accepted Answer

There are several romantic options for a ceremony at San Fabiano:

 	Religious ceremonies can take place on-site with permission from the local diocese, or in the nearby 9th-century village church (1km away), or in one of the many historic churches in nearby Siena.
 	Civil ceremonies are available at the village wedding hall (1km) or in Siena’s iconic city venues, just 16km from the property.

Question 4

Accommodation

Accepted Answer

The castle itself can sleep up to 22 guests in a collection of individually designed rooms and suites, each filled with family antiques, artworks, and Tuscan charm. But this is more than just a place to sleep — it&#8217;s a home base for your celebration. During a multi-day stay, guests can enjoy shared lounges, a reading room, shaded terraces for lazy mornings, and communal dining areas that make casual get-togethers and late-night chats just as special as the big day itself.
Beyond the main castle, there are additional guest accommodations in neighbouring villas and farmhouses on the estate, perfect for overflow guests or families wanting a little extra privacy. Everything is within walking distance and surrounded by gardens, olive groves, and peaceful countryside views.
Rooms include:


 	Deluxe Rooms such as Lady Beatrice and The Ambassador, with wrought-iron beds and silk curtains
 	Double Suites like The Painter and The Gamekeeper, ideal for couples or small families
 	Classic Rooms such as Lady Lavinia, with romantic views and vintage details

All rooms feature modern bathrooms, climate control, and unique decor that reflects the estate’s layered history. Breakfast is included daily, with homemade cakes, jams, and Tuscan produce served either on the terrace or in the castle dining room.
