Villa di Geggiano is a historic Italian villa set just minutes from Siena, offering couples a refined and atmospheric estate surrounded by the beauty of Chianti’s vineyards.

About Villa di Geggiano
Villa di Geggiano is a grand 14th-century estate set amidst the famed hills of Chianti Classico, just 6 kilometres from Siena. Designated a National Heritage Site for its cultural and architectural significance, the villa has been home to the Bianchi Bandinelli family since 1527. Today, it retains much of its 18th-century baroque interiors, original furnishings and exquisite frescoes, offering an atmosphere that is elegant, authentic, and historic.
What makes Villa di Geggiano so special as a destination wedding venue is the way it blends cultural heritage, artistic legacy and working organic vineyards into one immersive Tuscan setting. The beautifully maintained Italian gardens, adorned with terracotta urns and classical statues, frame the renowned Teatro di Verzura; an open-air theatre where playwright Vittorio Alfieri once staged his work.
Inside, the salons and banquet halls feel like a living museum, with antique French wallpapers, Venetian rustic furniture and centuries of collected artworks adding richness and atmosphere. Adding further character, Villa di Geggiano continues its tradition as an organic winery, producing a small, high-quality selection of wines using sustainable, traditional methods. Together, these elements make it a truly unique setting for a wedding celebration.
Couples hiring Villa di Geggiano enjoy full exclusivity, with a minimum stay of 3 nights. The villa accommodates up to 10 guests on-site, with further accommodation options easily arranged nearby.
