Villa Il Garofalo is a legendary 14th-century villa that once belonged to the Donati family, set on Via del Salviatino overlooking the city skyline. Surrounded by Italian gardens, olive terraces and a cypress avenue, it combines Renaissance splendour with discreet modern comforts, offering an exclusive backdrop for weddings in Florence, high-profile receptions and cultural soirées.
Villa Il Garofalo offers romantic ceremony options: beneath the rose pergola, inside the chapel or on the panoramic terrace framed by Florence’s skyline.
Villa Il Garofalo hosts receptions from refined banquets in the frescoed hall (up to 120 guests) to lavish dinners under fairy lights on the lawn (up to 200 guests). Champagne sunsets, string quartets and DJ sets keep the celebration vibrant.
Dedicated wedding planning services, farm-to-table menus and the aristocratic aura of a historic Florentine villa make weddings at Villa Il Garofalo truly unforgettable.
Round off the day with an unforgettable after party. Dance beneath the stars on the panoramic lawn, sip Negroni in the loggia lounge or stage a silent disco in the frescoed hall.
At Gargonza Castle, music and entertainment can typically continue indoors until 2 AM, while outdoor music is permitted until midnight, respecting the tranquility of the village and its surroundings. From acoustic sets to DJ performances, the venue offers flexible options to create a celebration that reflects your personal style.
Coordinate with the villa events team to align music schedules and entertainment with Florence regulations, ensuring a seamless finale to your city-view wedding.
Although Villa Il Garofalo offers no overnight rooms, premier hotels—such as Belmond Villa San Michele, Il Salviatino and Hotel Savoy—are moments away, providing deluxe comfort for wedding guests in Florence.
