Tenuta di Artimino Wedding Cost (2027): Prices & Capacity

Tenuta di Artimino is a Medici estate on a hilltop west of Florence, in the Carmignano wine country: Villa La Ferdinanda, the villa of the hundred chimneys, with its long pale façade and double staircase, the Paggeria Medicea hotel in the old pages' quarters, a medieval village and farmhouses for guests, a restaurant, a winery and a spa. It is the grand-villa wedding with a hotel estate around it, half an hour from the airport.

The villa is rented as an event space, not with the rooms: €8,000 before tax for a Monday-to-Wednesday wedding in high season, €13,000 on Friday and €16,000 on Saturday, with ceremony setup at €800 and accommodation booked separately from €360 a night per double unit on a two-night minimum. The halls inside are big, with the Salone del Leone planned at 200 for a banquet, and the music runs to 1 am. The size it suits is 100 to 150.

Artimino is the Medici villa with a hotel attached, and that combination is its case: La Ferdinanda gives a reception real scale, the staircase, the long sightlines, three frescoed halls that seat 180 to 200, and the estate gives guests somewhere to stay, eat, swim and taste wine without leaving the hill. It is a different thing from a private villa with twelve beds or an event venue where everyone drives in from Florence.

The pricing separates the setting from the stay, which is useful: the villa fee is modest for what it is, the Saturday premium is €8,000 before tax, and a midweek date keeps the whole building for the price of a Florence restaurant dinner. The size is 100 to 150, where you can put the ceremony in one hall, dinner in another and the party in a third. Rooms are spread across the hotel, the village and the farmhouses, some 400 metres apart, so allocate by who needs to be close. Music ends at 1 am, the reception is exclusive but the hotel and restaurants are not unless you buy them out, and the village and halls take the rain without a tent.

A villa rental by day of the week, before tax, plus ceremony setup, plus the rooms you book, plus catering from a partner list. The rental includes the contracted spaces, cleaning, the bar hall with its Chester sofas, heating, air conditioning and parking; no second wedding runs alongside yours.

Planning ranges for a high-season Saturday wedding day: the rental, ceremony setup, catering at €230 to €380 a head, planner, photography, florals, production, a DJ-led party and shuttles, before tax, accommodation and extra events. A midweek date takes €8,000 off; a welcome dinner and farewell lunch for 100 add about €11,000 to €18,000.

Three separate halls with banquet figures of 180 to 200 each, plus the gardens; a wedding layout with a stage and dance floor seats fewer than the banquet number.

The halls are the plan and they are good ones: ceremony in one, dinner in another, dancing in a third, with heating and air conditioning in the rental, so a 150-guest wedding needs no tent. Contract the rooms you want for each stage, since the rental covers selected spaces rather than the whole villa. Marquees have gone up in the gardens and are possible by agreement, with the structure, floor, power and an extra access day priced separately.

The estate has 101 units: the 36-room Paggeria hotel beside the villa, studios and suites in the medieval borgo, and farmhouse lodgings at Le Fagianaie, some 400 metres from the hotel. Put the couple, parents and anyone with mobility needs in the Paggeria and families in the apartments. A room block and a buyout are different products; agree which rooms are held, who pays for unbooked ones, and whether the restaurants and pool stay open to the public.

Catering comes from the estate's partner list of established Tuscan caterers, or from an outside caterer approved by management for €1,000 plus VAT and a kitchen fee. Compare proposals on the whole service: aperitivo, courses, cake, bar hours, staff, furniture and tableware. The estate's own wine and olive oil are the natural pour, with tastings and personalised labels on offer; settle any estate-wine requirement and corkage in the catering agreement. Planner, florist, photographer and entertainment are your choice, and a planner is worth having for a multi-building estate.

Music ends at 1 am and the villa closes at 1:30; a later finish needs approval beyond the €500-an-hour access extension. The estate has hosted multi-day Indian weddings and can handle specialist catering and ritual structures by arrangement.

La Ferdinanda is an authorised civil-ceremony location for the Comune di Carmignano, so the legal marriage happens in the garden or a hall with the registrar: €800 for the setup, and €400 to €650 to the Comune depending on the day. Symbolic ceremonies use the same spaces. For a church wedding, Santi Maria e Leonardo in Artimino and San Martino in Campo are nearby. Non-Italian couples need a Nulla Osta, an Atto Notorio and certified translations; allow 60 to 90 days.

Guests on the estate walk or use the estate shuttle; off-site guests come by minibus from one or two hubs with an early return and a last run at 1:30. Confirm coach size and turning with the estate.

Late May, June and September for the gardens and the view. July and August are hot on the hill and the halls are air-conditioned, which helps. April and October suit couples who like the interiors and want the lower quote; ask for the date-specific rate.

Best for: 100 to 150 guests; a Medici villa reception with three halls and no tent; a hotel estate for the weekend; a legal ceremony on site; a midweek wedding at a fraction of the Saturday rate; multi-day cultural weddings.

Things to consider: the villa fee buys the building, not the rooms; rooms spread across three clusters up to 400 metres apart; the hotel and restaurants stay open unless bought out; a 1 am finish; banquet figures are not dance-floor figures; a 40% deposit.
