Sense of Italy

The landscape between Florence and Siena, between the upper Arno valley and the valley of the Elsa, is breathtakingly beautiful. It boasts historic towns that are rich in history and art, monasteries and villas, castles and fortified villages, and beautifully solitary farmsteads standing amidst vineyards and olive groves......

What better place for your wedding than Tuscany's most picturesque regions: the castle-topped hills and Arcadian vineyards of Chianti, Italy's most famous wine district. The word Chianti is familiar to many, many people, even those who have never been to Tuscany. It conjures up images of rolling hills, silvery olive groves, cypresses and, of course, vineyards. 

 

Daniella and Mark will be married in the heart of the Chianti at the Villa Caterina (Villa Vistarenni).

Giuliana and her team at Sense of Italy will be happy to assist with your accommodation and transportation arrangements on arrival at Pisa Airport.
