FAQs
Dress code - Garden formal Feel free to choose attire that reflects the relaxed charm of a Tuscan wedding. Think light and airy fabrics, flowing dresses, and sun-friendly accessories like straw hats and sunglasses. As our celebration will partly be held on a lawn, we recommend you keep this in mind when it comes to your choice of shoes. As the day turns into evening, there might be a bit of a chill in the air, so it’s a good idea to bring something to keep warm. A light jacket or shawl will come in handy, so you can enjoy the festivities without getting too chilly.
Babies & Children We love your babies as much as we love you! You are welcome to bring them along for the week of celebrations. Keep in mind that there is a pool on the property but it is no right by the house (100m up the hill behind the house). The bedrooms are big enough to accommodate a crib or baby bed and there are also enough rooms throughout the house to arrange safe space for the kids to sleep.
Can I bring a +1? Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
Wedding Gifts The most important thing to us is that you can celebrate with us on our wedding day. However, if you wish to give a gift, we will gratefully accept a small contribution towards the wedding.

Book Recommendation
1944, in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa, as bombs fall around them, two strangers meet and share an extraordinary evening. Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner is an art historian and possible spy.
Evelyn has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the wreckage and relive memories of the time she had her heart stolen by an Italian maid in a particular Florentine room with a view.
Evelyn’s talk of truth and beauty plants a seed in Ulysses’ mind that will shape the trajectory of his life – and of those who love him – for the next four decades.
Shortly after returning to a smog-covered London, circumstances lead to him, a kid, an old man and a parrot making their way back to Florence to start a new life.
Moving from the Tuscan Hills and piazzas of Florence, to the streets of London’s East End, Still Life is a sweeping, joyful novel about beauty, love, family and fate.
