Interview with Francesca Folonari about weddings in a Tuscan villa : Villa Nozzole

What is Villa Nozzole as a wedding location

Villa Nozzole is a magnificent venue located in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and an ancient pine tree forest. The setting is very romantic overlooking the Chianti Classico rolling hills where time seems to have stopped. Sunset dinners in the garden or by the panoramic pool are unforgettable and resting under the shade of the centennial oak, hearing only the whisper of the gentle summer breeze, is a real privilege. The Folonari family has taken great care in refurbishing the interiors of the Villa, creating a peaceful atmosphere to match that of the surrounding nature. Guests are welcomed and made completely at ease in an ambience of understated elegance, which is at the same time modern and classic.

Hospitality by one of the great wine producers in Italy

Our wish is that guests feel at home during their stay at Villa Nozzole and fully enjoy its wonderful atmosphere and refined features.
We have taken much care in choosing the Villa’s décor, with great attention to every detail; we select local products of the highest quality and have prepared a large range of menus from which to choose, allowing guests to explore Tuscan cuisine in combination with our wines. Also on offer is a complimentary wine tasting with introduction to the history of our family, one of the prominent wine producing families in Tuscany for over a century. In addition, guests may choose to visit our cellars and discover more about the ins and outs of winemaking.
The staff who take care of the guests have been working with the family for decades and add great warmth to their professionalism making everyone feel at home. As a family we are directly involved in the management of the Villa and are always available to make one’s stay unforgettable!

What has inspired the Folonari family to do this

We have opened our home to share this unique and special place. Wine lovers or not, it is our wish that everyone who visits will appreciate our traditions through staying in our home; tasting our wines; admiring the vines where they come from; contemplating our sunsets; breathing the magical atmosphere of Tenuta di Nozzole and experiencing in person the many emotions that only our beloved Tuscany, and Chianti in particular, are able to give.
