Borgo Villa Certano — wedding venue in Siena, Tuscany
The Villa of Certano was built in neoclassical style and is recognised as one of the most beautiful holiday homes in Siena. Situated in a panoramic position, it dominates the hill of the Costa al Pino plateau, overlooking a landscape shaped by centuries of agricultural life. The estate has long been an active working farm, producing Chianti wine and extra virgin olive oil, with its rural character preserved in the seven country houses that once served as farmhand quarters.
The estate's 13th-century Romanesque Church of Saint Michael Archangel adds a rare and deeply rooted ceremonial heart to the property. The ancient cellar dug in limestone, the wood-burning oven, and the park's majestic secular trees each carry the story of generations who lived and worked this land — a history that now forms the backdrop for couples celebrating one of their own.
