Borgo Santo Pietro

A luxury estate with expansive formal gardens, courtyards, and terraces. Every part of the property offers a different mood, giving you variety throughout the day.

Photography tip: The gardens bloom for months and glow at sunset. Stepping into the rose paths in golden hour gives you soft, elegant portraits without feeling staged.

Villa Le Fontanelle (Florence)

Set on the hills above Florence, this villa offers quiet countryside charm with dramatic views of the Duomo. It’s a balance of intimacy and spectacle.

Borgo Castel Vecchi

A medieval borgo in the heart of Chianti, with stone courtyards and vineyard views in every direction. Rustic, authentic, and full of character.

Photography tip: Late afternoon light across the vineyards creates a natural frame for couple portraits, while the main courtyard adds timeless atmosphere for group shots.

Tenuta Corte Domina

An intimate wine estate surrounded by vines, with a garden, a panoramic terrace, and a glass-walled winter garden. Perfect if you want privacy without losing views.

Photography tip: The terrace facing the vineyards is ideal for golden hour portraits. If midday light feels harsh, the winter garden gives a softer, filtered glow.

Le Lappe Relais

Two historic farmhouses surrounded by olive groves and hills. It feels secluded and private, yet still has the comforts of a luxury relais.

Photography tip: The inner courtyard at sunset softens the strong architecture, giving your portraits depth and drama without overpowering you.

Villa Catignano

A historic villa near Siena, with Italian-style gardens and open views across Chianti Classico vineyards. A favorite for couples who want elegance with a touch of countryside charm.

Photography tip: Morning portraits in the Italian gardens bring soft light and clean lines. At dusk, the vineyards glow with warm tones for your most romantic images.
