Castello di Vicarello Wedding Cost (2027): Prices & Capacity

Castello di Vicarello is a 12th-century castle in the Maremma hills of southern Tuscany, restored by the Baccheschi Berti family into a ten-suite retreat with a two-bedroom villa, two panoramic pools, olive groves, a vineyard and a kitchen that cooks from its own gardens. It is less a grand villa than a very good country house with towers, and a wedding takes all of it for three nights.

The high-season rental is €38,250 a night, €114,750 for the three required nights from May to October, with VAT, sleeping 24 and up to 29 with extra beds. A three-day food-and-drink minimum sits on top, €45,000 for up to 64 guests or €690 a head above that, so a 100-guest wedding starts at €183,750 before production. Weddings run to 200 on the Grand Field, the kitchen is the castle's own, lighting is in house, and there is no curfew, only an hourly charge after midnight.

Vicarello is the castle for couples who care about the food and the party as much as the photograph. The kitchen runs every meal of the weekend, from a welcome barbecue by the pool to a long dinner on the terrace or the Grand Field and a recovery brunch under the olives, and nobody tells you to stop dancing at midnight; they simply bill the extra hours. The suites are the best part, the Tower suite with its own terrace at the top of the castle, the villa with its own pool, and the whole estate yours for three days.

The commitment is large and does not shrink. Even a wedding of 29 that sleeps entirely on site starts at €159,750 for the rental and the €45,000 food floor, so this is a choice about privacy, not economy. The comfortable size is 60 to 120, with family and the wedding party in the suites and the rest at the wine relais nearby. There is no big indoor room: the residential dining room seats 40, so above that the rain plan is a marquee on the field, designed and priced from the start. Catering and lighting are the castle's; everything else is your choice.

A nightly rental for the whole estate with 24 beds, three nights in high season, plus a three-day food-and-drink minimum credited against the catering you order. All prices include VAT.

The stay includes breakfast à la carte, twice-daily housekeeping, the pools, e-bikes, parking and Wi-Fi; catering includes basic tables, chairs, linen and tableware. A welcome barbecue, wedding dinner and brunch for 100 at €690 a head meets the minimum exactly; add a Gold bar and the food and drink line is €78,500.

Planning ranges for three high-season nights with 24 on the estate, a welcome meal, the wedding and a recovery brunch for everyone, drinks and bar, planner, photography, florals, rentals and production, a marquee allowance, music and shuttles. They exclude off-estate rooms, extra beds, flights and attire.

Two hundred is the ceiling, and the dinner setting decides the feel: the terrace for an intimate wedding, the Grand Field for a big one.

There is no large indoor room, so above about 40 guests the covered plan is a marquee on the field, with floor, sides and heating or cooling specified, and places for the ceremony and drinks as well as dinner. Marquees are part of how the estate does weddings, and the location and size are agreed per event. Budget €18,000 to €38,000 for it and design it as a room you want, because in May or September you may use it.

Twenty-four sleep in the ten suites and the two-bedroom Villa La Vedetta, 29 with extra beds. The Tower suite has a steep stair and is not for anyone with mobility limits; the villa runs over four floors. Everyone else stays at the wine estates around Poggi del Sasso and Paganico, 15 to 35 minutes away, with Grosseto for a bigger block.

The castle's kitchen cooks every event, with customised menus from the gardens and the Maremma, against the three-day minimum; basic furniture and tableware come with it, and alternative chairs and tables carry supplements. Lighting is the estate's own and compulsory, with table setups from €3,500. Coordination starts at €3,050, and a full planner for a three-day destination wedding is a separate hire. Florist, photographer, band and DJ are your choice.

There is no fixed curfew. From midnight the service runs at €500 an hour, from 1 am at €800, plus waiters at €45 an hour past their shift, so a 3 am finish is about €2,100 in late service before the band's extra hours. Run two shuttles home, one early and one at the end.

Civil ceremonies are held on the estate through the Comune di Cinigiano, with the space, registrar and paperwork arranged for your date; symbolic ceremonies go anywhere in the gardens or the castle. Catholic weddings use Santa Maria in Campagnatico, the Madonna di Val di Prata at Monticello Amiata or San Donato in Porrona nearby. Non-Italian couples need a Nulla Osta, an Atto Notorio and certified translations; allow 60 to 90 days.

The final approach is unpaved; send the castle's directions, not just a pin. Coach access is to confirm, so plan on minibuses from the hotel blocks with a late run matched to the party.

Late May, June and September, all at the same rate. July and August are hot and dry and need a late ceremony and shade. April saves €26,010 on the rental and asks for a heated marquee; October costs the full rate and brings the harvest; November is the low rate and an indoor-first design.

Best for: 60 to 120 guests; a private castle for three days with food from its own kitchen; a party with no curfew; the family in the suites and villa; a civil ceremony on the estate.

Things to consider: €159,750 before production even for 29 guests; in-house catering and lighting only; 24 to 29 beds; no large indoor room, so a marquee above 40; a remote estate with an unpaved drive; every late hour is billed.
