We have reserved Fonte de' Medici Country Relais exclusively for our guests to enjoy during the three days of festivities. We’ll be hosting welcome drinks on Friday and a pool party on Sunday here. On the day of the wedding, transportation to Castello Palagio will depart directly from the property for your convenience. We'd love for you to stay onsite with us so we can enjoy the weekend together! Due to limited space, rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
