Enclosed within the walls of Castel Monastero stands a quaint little church dedicated to Saint Jacob and Saint Christopher, dating back to the 11th century. Its rustic stone architecture is typical of local country parish churches. The interiors, carefully restored in the 18th century, make a charming contrast with the monastic simplicity of the exterior. This cosy and elegant church can accommodate a maximum of fifty guests. For larger guest lists, the magnificent Romanesque church of Badia Monastero, located just 2 km from Castel Monastero, provides an excellent alternative.

For civil wedding ceremonies, the splendid 18th-century chamber in the town hall of Castelnuovo Berardenga in Chianti, merely 7 km from the resort, comes highly recommended. This elegant, welcoming setting is decorated in the classic shade of ivory with exquisite gold friezes. Alternatively, for couples who prefer a 19th-century villa with large rooms and a lawn in an old park, the splendid neoclassical Villa Chigi Saracini on the outskirts of Castelnuovo Berardenga is the ideal choice.

For a symbolic ceremony, couples can choose one of the many enchanting corners of this medieval village. These settings feature stunning views, timeless elegance, and a truly magical atmosphere. The uniqueness of the symbolic rituals, combined with the beauty of Castel Monastero, undoubtedly creates precious moments destined to last forever.
