Ceremonies
Ceremonies at San Fabiano are shaped by variety within the estate itself—each setting offering a different sense of scale, framing, and atmosphere. The venue supports both symbolic and legal ceremonies, with guidance available for nearby churches and civil locations.
The experience shifts depending on where you choose to stand.
Loggia Garden
Arranged like a small amphitheatre, with jasmine-covered arches and a sense of quiet structure. Guests gather closely, creating a more contained, focused atmosphere.
Pool Garden
Open and outward-facing, with wide views across the Tuscan landscape. The setting feels expansive, with more distance between guests and horizon.
Historic Courtyard
Defined by stone arches and shaded walkways, offering a more enclosed, architectural setting with a sense of depth and texture.
For religious or civil ceremonies, nearby village churches and Siena itself provide additional options, all within easy reach.

Receptions
Weddings at San Fabiano feel expansive and progression-led, with each part of the day unfolding across a different corner of the estate.
Drinks often begin in the Pool Garden or main square, where guests arrive into open space and long views. It’s a moment of transition—day softening into evening, with the landscape fully in view.
Dinner shifts the focus inward. Whether set in the courtyard under soft lighting or in the Stables Garden beside the castle walls, the atmosphere becomes more grounded—guests seated together, the scale flexible depending on the size of the celebration. For larger weddings, the Pavilion provides a more structured indoor setting without losing connection to the surroundings.
As the evening continues, the energy spreads rather than concentrates. Dancing can move between indoor and outdoor spaces, with different areas of the estate taking on their own pace. Late-night gatherings feel informal, with guests drifting between music, conversation, and quieter corners.
The layout allows the celebration to evolve naturally, shaped by the spaces rather than confined to one.
Staying on Site
Accommodation at San Fabiano reflects its identity as a historic home, with 11 bedrooms spread across the estate, hosting up to 22 guests.
Suites
The most spacious rooms, with distinct architectural features and views across the surrounding countryside.
Deluxe Rooms
Balanced in scale, combining traditional materials—exposed brick, timber beams—with updated bathrooms.
Classic Rooms
More understated in size, but consistent in style, offering a simple, comfortable stay within the historic setting.
Across all rooms, interiors follow the same approach—preserving original details while introducing modern comfort where it matters.
Mornings are slow and communal, with breakfast served on the terrace: local cheeses, cured meats, homemade cakes, and honey. Staying on site turns the wedding into a shared experience, with guests settling into the rhythm of the estate over several days. Additional accommodation can be arranged in the nearby village, just a short distance away.

Food & Atmosphere
The food experience at San Fabiano is host-led and flexible, shaped by the teams you bring in and how you want the weekend to unfold.
Rather than a fixed kitchen or in-house style, the venue works with a network of trusted caterers and chefs from Siena and Florence. This allows for a wide range of approaches—from more structured plated dinners to generous, family-style Tuscan feasts centred around local ingredients.
Dining moves across the estate depending on the moment: aperitivo outdoors, long-table dinners in the courtyard, relaxed gatherings by the pool the following day. The absence of corkage encourages a more personal approach to wine, often centred on regional producers.
Food here isn’t tied to one format—it adapts to the pace of the celebration, becoming part of the overall flow rather than a standalone moment.
