Romantic
vacation or destination wedding in Tuscany
Enjoy the Italian countryside
|
|
Tuscany
is a wonderful destination for a
romantic vacation or a
destination wedding. One of the
most enchanting places in the area is
a castle-turned-hotel called Castello
di Velona.
Castello
di Velona is an 11th century
building. During the Renaissance
period, this castle was the theater of
fights between two of the most
powerful cities of the time - the
Republic of Siena and the republic of
Florence. A lot of history can be
found in its beautiful setting in the
countryside.
The hotel
is located on a hill where you can
enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of
the
Tuscany countryside with its
rolling hill and olive trees. In
Tuscany, you can also
enjoy great Italian food with the
freshest vegetables and fruits
grown locally. You can literally walk
out of the castle and be surrounded by
natural beauty and historical
monuments. |

 The
hotel location is ideal for checking
out many of the other wonders of
Tuscany, such as
Florence, Siena, Lucca, Montalcino,
Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia,
Montepulciano, and of course, San
Gimignano.
Like most
places in Italy, this is easy to get
to, and we recommend that you also
rent a car so that you can check
out the nearby places while staying at
the castle.
Castello
di Velona also offers special
services such as a destination
wedding
or other memorable events like family
reunions. The rates are somewhat high
considering that you stay in such a
luxurious, historical hotel but if you
do your research and keep your
schedule flexible, you can take
advantage of their packages that offer
lower rates. |
