Villa Gaudia
SAN DONATO IN COLLINA, FIRENZE, TUSCANY
Villa Gaudia is a spacious Tuscan wedding venue set among vineyards and olive groves, just outside Florence. The feel is relaxed and open, with generous outdoor areas designed for large gatherings and intimate and private receptions, centred around an impressive 300 sqm swimming pool that immediately sets the tone for celebrations with scale and atmosphere.
This farmhouse-style venue in Tuscany is well suited to both large weddings and flexible multi-day events. Villa Gaudia can host up to 300 guests for ceremonies and receptions, with both indoor and outdoor spaces available. On-site catering is provided by a trusted in-house team, covering lunches, dinners and wedding ceremonies. The limonaia and fountain terrace are ideal for evening parties and dancing late into the night.
On-site accommodation includes 5 double bedrooms sleeping 10–12 guests, with additional guest accommodation available nearby. The venue is located around 30 minutes from Florence Airport, making it accessible for international couples planning a destination wedding in Tuscany.
Villa Gaudia also works well for post-wedding plans, including brunches, pool parties, pizza nights or relaxed BBQs with friends and family.
