Premium Wedding Package
 

Whether you dream of an open-air or intimate chapel ceremony, Ristonchi has you covered.

The best thing about an event at Ristonchi is that everything happens in one magical location — yet each moment feels like its own special setting.

When your guests arrive, they’ll be welcomed to their rooms to unpack, freshen up, and settle into castle life. That first evening begins with a warm welcome pizza and wine party on the terrace. Guests mingle, sip, and laugh together, then wander just a few steps back to their cozy rooms for the night.

The morning of your wedding, breakfast is served on the terrace as the hills glow green with spring. A casual panini lunch follows, giving guests time to relax, explore the grounds, or take in the fresh mountain air before the ceremony.

When it’s time, everyone walks a short distance to the lawn or chapel to watch you say “I do.” After vows and cheers, the celebration flows seamlessly into the aperitivo hour with Tuscan meats, cheeses, Prosecco, and Aperol Spritz.

As evening sets in, your guests move through the olive trees into a candlelit hall for a multi-course farm-to-table dinner. With April’s cool, crisp nights, the atmosphere is intimate and comfortable. After dinner it’s cake on the terrace, then just a few steps down into the legendary Rave Cave — our dungeon turned disco — where the DJ and open bar keep energy high all night long.

Because everyone stays onsite, guests can slip back to their rooms in less than a minute whenever they’re ready to rest, making the entire weekend safe, seamless, and stress-free.

If you choose a 3 night package next day is yours to relax. Brunch unfolds slowly, followed by a BBQ feast at the pool and pasta-making class in the evening with optional extras like wine tasting or karaoke! In April, the atmosphere is fresh, easy, and joyful — a celebration that feels like Tuscany itself is waking up with you.

FAQs

  • It depends! April in Tuscany can be fresh and beautiful — mild days, cool evenings, and blossoms everywhere. Sometimes it’s sunny and warm, other times it’s chilly or rainy. But that’s true of every month here — even July has sudden rainstorms. The difference is, in April you get the same castle, the same celebration, and the same magic at an off-season price. And with our elegant indoor and covered options, your wedding is stress-free no matter what the weather decides.

  • Evenings in April are usually too chilly for long outdoor dinners. Though it is possible if the weather is good and we plan an early timeline to finish before the sun is down. When it is cold or rainy, we create intimate indoor dining experiences with candlelight, music, and cozy Tuscan ambiance.
    Aperitivo outdoors in the sun works beautifully — then moving to dinner indoors keeps guests comfortable.

  • April is when Tuscany comes alive! The hills are green, wildflowers bloom, the iris’ pop and the landscape feels fresh and romantic. It’s one of the most photogenic times of year here.

  • Actually, April makes travel easier. Flights are often much cheaper than peak season, and Florence and Tuscany are less crowded. Your guests will thank you for saving them money and stress.

  • Yes — April weddings start at €45,500 for our intimate package on weekdays. Our 3 night classic package is 49,500€ (vs. €80,000+ in peak season). It’s the same castle, same team, and same magic — with the off-season advantage.

  • Up to 96 guests can stay onsite in the castle accommodations, and we can host ceremonies and receptions for up to 110 people depending on location.

  • April has very limited weekends. If your preferred date is already booked, you can consider a weekday wedding (often easier for guests to travel in spring) or ask us about other options.

  • Yes! While our 1,000-year-old stone castle stays naturally cool in summer, all guest rooms and indoor event spaces are equipped with heating for the cooler months. In April, this means your guests will be cozy at night and comfortable during indoor dinners, ceremonies, or parties — no matter the weather outside.

  • Yes. While the castle is nearly 1,000 years old, all guest rooms and indoor event spaces are equipped with heating and thick blankets. That means cozy rooms at night and comfortable ceremonies, dinners, and parties indoors, even if the evenings are cool.
    As long as guests are prepared with sweaters and slippers they will stay comfy and cozy.

Testimonials

"The food - my god. I can genuinely say every single meal we ate at the castle was easily some of the best cooking we've had in Italy, and my entire group could not stop raving about it. Not only is the food delicious, it is abundant. Every meal was cooked to perfection. Even self-made pizzas and pasta were good because the dough and ingredients provided were so fresh! From the eggs at bruch, to the tagliata steak, the roasted potatoes, to paninis and lasagna, everything was soooo sooooooo good. Also, the gelato and pastries at dinner were phenomenal. OH and cannot forget the truffle fries as a midnight snack - amazing!"
M & B

“I was lucky enough to get to stay at Castello di Risonchi in late May 2019 for my little brother's wedding. The experience was so great it's hard to know where to begin. The setting is absolutely picturesque, nestled in the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside in a building that dates to at least 900 (at least simply because that’s the oldest deed of sale that the owners had found). The rooms are quaint and comfortable, and the views from the top rooms unparalleled.”

"The venue is absolutely stunning. Pictures don't do it justice! I had never visited the castle before day 1 of our party so you can imagine I was a little nervous about how everything would be. This place is breathtaking and organised in such a perfect way for a multi-day party. From the terrace, to the pool and bbq area, to the dinner lawn and of course, the RAVE CAVE. This place was AWESOME. The views were unlike anything I've seen and the sunset and cloud formations we saw were unreal. My friends also loved the bonus hikes and trails!"
J & W

"The Castello di Ristonchi team was reliable every step of the planning process and even exceeded our expectations. The second that our guests checked in they were swept away with the breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills and the food was hands down the best Italian food we've ever had... trust us, my fiancé and I used to live in Italy. Stefanie and Rasmus welcomed us to their dreamy castle, the chapel was perfect for our ceremony and the outdoor reception was everything we had hoped for under a beautiful scenic sunset and stringed lights. Plus, they have the best network of local vendors from the acoustic musicians that played all night long to the makeup artist. Thank you, Castello di Ristonchi! My husband and I can't wait to return with our family and someday with our children."
