Getting married at the Abbazia di
Spineto
Tie the knot in a thousand-yearold Abbey, embraced by nature at
its most pristine. Sense the
energy that the surroundings
seem to convey and enjoy the
silence that the monks who lived
here have passed down through
the ages, in a place where time
appears to stand still.
The wholesome goodness of this
territory – at the edge of a
UNESCO World Heritage site in
Tuscany – skilfully reflected by
our chefs who bring the best out
of wonderful, fresh ingredients.
Let yourselves be treated as the
guests of honour at your own
wedding. Relax and let us see to
every last detail as we make the
most of this splendid setting to
create a magical atmosphere.

Weddings
Because it is not just a wedding
Countless spaces that seem custom made
to take the breath away. The perfect
environment for unforgettable memories of
a special moment.
The ceremony in the Romanesque church
or one of the other stunning outdoor or
indoor spaces.
Your reception in one of the Abbey’s
elegant salons, or the cellars once used by
the monks; or, for a wedding with a more
rustic feel, in one of the converted farm
buildings that look out over the Val d’Orcia.
But also the considerate and attentive
hospitality you offer to your guests, with
accommodation in the charming rooms of
the Abbey or one of the converted
farmhouses and buildings around the estate
– each with its own, private pool.
Everyone can share in these special, unique
surroundings which are dedicated to your
special day.
Abbazia di Spineto
Weddings
A romantic wedding in our
Romanesque church or, for
civil cerimonies, the theatre in
Sarteano, two of the gems on
offer.
Alternatively, if you are looking
for a different sort of ceremony,
let the Spineto Estate inspire
you. It is not uncommon for a
couple visiting the estate in
search of the perfect venue
declare: “This is the place.” We
will strive to create the perfect
atmosphere in the place you
have chosen to tell your loved
one, “I do”.

The Reception
The Abbey courtyard, the Absidi park, the forecourt of the church, the
garden of the “Sorgente” house – with its views stretching out over the Val
d’Orcia – or even the monastery hall or the cellars.
Numerous options from which to choose the best solution for a joyful
moment with friends and family.
We can accommodate up to 250 people for cocktail party, and up to 200
diners.

The right venue for you.
Not just the reception, but also
the post-ceremony toast and
cocktails. A chance to make the
most of the countless panoramas,
the views of the Val d’Orcia, the
sun setting behind the hills, the
greenery around the lake just
downhill from the Abbey.
All options in the quest for the
perfect setting for the special
moments you and your guests
will want to remember forever.

Welcome dinner
Welcome your guests as you would in
your own home. Give your event the
warmth and intimacy it demands,
without compromising on the
grandeur of the location.
A welcome dinner in one of the
estate’s numerous converted
farmhouses: beside the pool, by
candlelight, sipping good wine late
into the night.
Not a secondary thought, but an
integral part of the perfect weekend
that you can offer to your guests.
Here are a few of our suggestions:
Dine standing up, with a Tuscan
buffet featuring fresh porchetta – a
roasted pig – in pride of place
alongside a wide range of other
delicious nibbles.
€30.00 per person
Country BBQ: a truly authentic
experience, under the stars. Quality
meat, good music and delightful
company. What more could you
want?

Farwell brunch
Brunch served late in the morning – usually from 11 am to 1 pm –
instead of breakfast.
A delightful, alternative way to express your thanks (again) to your
guests before you say goodbye.
Usually served in the garden, with Italian breakfast options – fruit,
pastries, bread and focaccia, jams and preserves, yoghurt, ricotta –
along with more northern favourites such as omelettes, savoury
baking, ham, salmon and, why not, another glass of bubbly!
€25.00 per person

Accommodation options
The Spineto Estate offers various
accommodation options. Your party
can enjoy exclusive use of the
Abbey building, or stay at the
estate’s various converted
buildings.
Different options for
accommodation and length of stay
can be combined in line with your
requirements.
Many of our guests take advantage
of the opportunity and stay for the
whole week in one of the houses on
the estate (each of which has its
own pool).
Staying in a traditional farmhouse is
the best, and most authentic way to
experience Tuscany: lunch by the
pool and aperitifs at sunset.
Our converted outbuildings can be
booked without additional services,
or with breakfast and/or other
catering options included.
Other guests, meanwhile, prefer
just to stay for a couple of nights,
either side of the wedding, in one of
the rooms we reserve for bed &
breakfast accommodation.
