The Villa dates back to the 15th century and has refined and luxury interiors. The estate is composed of 2 luxury Villas that can be rented individually or as a whole depending on number of guests to be accommodated. For a private Villa Rental of 10-24 guests, we recommend staying in the main villa: Villa Mangiacane. For larger groups of up to 60 guests we would need both Villa Mangiacane and Villa Mazzei which are located close together on the Estate.

The villa is surrounded by a 600 acre estate with olive groves and vineyards, a magical place for the wedding of your dreams.
