A villa for
the occasion.
The reasons people take a whole estate are rarely ordinary ones: a wedding, a company's leadership offsite, a milestone birthday that finally gets three generations in one place. For these, a private villa does what a hotel cannot, the run of the house, only the people you have chosen, and a small team to arrange the rest. We hold a handful of estates licensed and equipped for each.

Plan birthday celebrations →How the occasion changes the house
The same villa is a different proposition for a wedding than for a board offsite. A wedding needs a licence status we can vouch for, a ceremony spot that works in June light, and beds for the guest list; our guide to Tuscany wedding venues walks the whole landscape. A retreat needs meeting space, reliable connectivity and clean invoicing. A three-generation birthday needs ground-floor bedrooms, a fenced pool and a table for twenty, the territory of houses like Borgo Bernardini.
That is why we ask about the occasion before we suggest a house. The practical companions: what a villa costs, how renting works, and the experiences that turn the spare days around the main event into the part everyone remembers.
