The final date to RSVP and pay for your accommodations will be January 10, 2026. Please note- Villa le Bolli does not offer refunds once payment is made so we ask that you are 100% sure you will be attending before RSVPing "yes".
Guests are responsible for their transportation to Italy and the venue. Expect this to be the bulk of the expenses. Flights typically range from $800+ unless you can find a great deal, in which case please share! A standard size rental car for the long weekend is approximately $200. We will also be subsidizing the cost of the accommodation in an effort to make Italy more affordable for our guests. We are asking that each person (not including children) contribute a total of $300 ($75/night) to cover a portion of the stay. We will of course be covering the wedding day meal as well as a welcome dinner the day before and food for breakfast each day. All other meals not listed will be on your own. A list of local restaurants and a grocery store is provided on the Things To Do page. The minimum cost per person is expected around $1,200 (plus activities and food separate from the wedding celebration). We understand this is a BIG ask for our guests. We hope that if you choose to join us, you will look at this as an opportunity to travel to Italy and enjoy a vacation (with our wedding celebration as the icing on the cake).
A valid passport is the most essential thing you will need. If you need a new passport or need to renew an expired one, the current timeline is 6-8 weeks. Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the trip date. If you plan to rent a car, you must obtain an International Drivers License. This can be easily obtained at a local AAA or online. June is considered peak season for traveling to Italy, we recommend looking early and often at flights for the best deals. Jet lag is real, take this into consideration when deciding when to arrive. If permitted, we recommend coming a few days earlier to adjust to the time change and explore nearby regions in Italy.
Rooms will be assigned in advance as guests RSVP, some friends and family may be sharing units, however we have done our best to assign rooms accordingly. You will not be sharing a room with anyone you don't know. Please take note: The villa dates back to 1200AD, that being said, please do not think you are arriving at a brand new Hilton Hotel. The villa is rustic and charming. The floors are worn and the bathrooms are small and quirky. But there is A/C in all of the rooms which is unique for the area.
Flights are generally released 11 months in advance. June/July is a peak travel period in Europe so we recommend to start searching early, and book at least 6 months in advance. You can also set up airfare alerts on Expedia, Skyscanner, and Google Flights to track prices and catch deals.
Please see the Travel page of our website. All options for getting to the villa, including the distance from nearby airports is detailed there. Renting a car will be the most pricy option but will provide the most flexibility to explore during your stay.
A detailed packing list will be provided with your RSVP. The ceremony with take place on the lawn and that may be something worth considering when deciding on shoe options. The weather in Radicondoli, Tuscany in early June has highs of 78-82F and lows of 58-62F. The villa is set up on a hill and typically gets a nice cross breeze at night. Note there is a pool so don't forget a swimsuit.
Both the ceremony and reception will be held outside, weather permitting.
Elevated cocktail attire. For men think dress shirt, jacket, and your preference on tie/no tie. Women a knee-length or longer dress/ pantsuit would be best. We kindly request that our guests embrace wearing black for the ceremony.
We will be providing a pizza welcome dinner for all who would like to attend the evening before the wedding as well as dinner and drinks the day of the wedding. We plan to go to the grocery store to have breakfast items at the villa available for everyone.
YES! It is important to note that Siena abides by a strict noise ordinance. All music, shouting, any other loud disturbances have to stop by 10PM every night, with the exception of the day of the wedding. The reception will go until 12:30AM.
Yes! The villa operates as a traditional Airbnb property. We encourage guests to stock up on their preferred snack and drink choices to have during their stay.
Flying to Italy to celebrate with us is more than enough and we do not expect anything more than that. There will be a registry (to be completed later) if you feel like you want to do more, but we emphatically do not think this is necessary.
Electricity voltage in Europe is different than in the U.S. Anything that needs plugged in (phone, hairdryer, steamer, etc.) will need to be able to be converted from 220V to 120V. Amazon sells CONVERTERS (not adapters, your electronics will get plugged in but will be fried) relatively cheaply and we will bring a couple extras just in case.
