Wedding at Castello di Montegufoni
Korina and James
Some places in Tuscany seem to exist outside of time. Castello di Montegufoni is one of them.
On the hills between Florence and Montespertoli, just a few kilometres from the city yet already inside a different Tuscany, Montegufoni carries eleven centuries of history — a noble residence that still dominates the landscape today with its tower and silent courtyards.
This is not the usual Tuscany’s postcard.
There are no picture-perfect vineyards and cypress lines here. There is architecture that layers different eras, stone that bears the marks of centuries, a silence that tells more than any words could.
Korina and James chose all of this: a deeper Tuscany, less obvious, more real. And the castle received them with the same quiet it has always kept. That’s why Ulisse decided to shoot both digital and in film, to give voice to this timeless atmosphere.

A destination wedding in Tuscany: stone, history and open countryside
For a destination wedding in Tuscany, this depth changes everything. The castle unfolds as a sequence of spaces that seem designed to follow the natural rhythm of a full day. The inner courtyards flow one into the next. The terraces look out over the countryside like suspended balconies. The gardens reveal new perspectives with every passing hour.
The ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by the ancient walls, with drinks served in the village courtyards. Dinner came to life beneath the open sky, the light sliding slowly across the stone.
And this is precisely what makes Montegufoni so well suited to a destination wedding: there is never a break in the narrative. The story never stops. Guests move through the castle as though they have always belonged there, and each space offers a different atmosphere while remaining part of the same identity.
For a destination wedding in Tuscany that wants to feel lived-in rather than staged, Castello di Montegufoni is one of the most honest answers this region has to give.
