“Our experience with Villa Medicea di Lilliano was nothing short of magical! The planning process for our wedding was made so smooth thanks to the incredible staff, who went above and beyond at every stage. They were always available for meetings onsite or promptly responded via email, addressing every detail and making sure we felt supported and well-prepared. This level of dedication from the team made the planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. The villa itself is breathtaking, with beautifully designed, chic rooms that are as comfortable as they are stylish. The attention to detail was evident from the moment we checked in, with thoughtful room plans that made the check-in process seamless. They even arranged early check-ins to accommodate our schedule, which was such a thoughtful touch. Throughout our stay, the staff was always available to assist us and our guests, ensuring everything went smoothly. The wine selection is a highlightโ€”truly a memorable part of the experience, and the scenic surroundings added even more charm. If youโ€™re planning a special event, I canโ€™t recommend Villa Medicea di Lilliano highly enough for their exceptional service, beautiful setting, and authentic Tuscan elegance!”
