Exclusive property with excellent services and easy accessibility
A Villa Valentini Bonaparte elopement offers access to a private historic estate on the border of Tuscany and Umbria. This is not a typical hotel or public garden.
It is a protected property with formal Italian gardens and frescoed halls, requiring careful coordination for intimate events. Elopements are only possible on weekdays, which allows for a level of privacy that is unavailable during larger weekend functions.
Our package is designed to manage the venue’s specific rules and logistics for you.
We handle all supplier communication and scheduling, ensuring your day runs smoothly within the estate’s framework.
This venue is one of several distinct properties we work with; you can compare more Tuscany elopement venues to find the right fit.
Our 2027 starting package is designed for a symbolic elopement for two people, held on a weekday.
It covers the essential elements for a complete, well-planned experience, from your overnight stay to a private dinner.
The final cost will depend on your final guest count and any optional extras.
