Magical Villa!

We stayed at the villa and held our son & daughter in laws wedding there. The place exceeded our expectations! From the amazing staff, who was so helpful in their suggestions for anything we needed, to the accommodations - simply wonderful. We planned this wedding from the States and Ginevra was there to help every step of the way. The Villa itself is gorgeous! The grounds, the rooms and the amount of space we all had (we were 26 staying at the villa) was perfect! And the proximity - Florence City Center was walkable or a short bus ride away and as well as the town, which had plenty of restaurants, grocery, shopping & cafes, was amazing. I would highly recommend Villa Merlo Nero for anyone looking to have a wedding or a large gathering or get away!

Villa Merlo Nero - Florence, Italy

We stayed at the villa for three nights over our wedding weekend, using the beautiful villa for our Friday night welcome party and the wedding ceremony on Saturday. The villa is a quick 10-15 min drive from the city center of Florence, making it easy to get into town for dinner or to visit the sites. The villa absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s hard to describe how unique and stunning the inside of the villa is, and how beautiful the exterior gardens are. Our wedding was in May and all the flowers were in full bloom. The staff were really great throughout all the wedding preparations, helping us find vendors, and ensuring we had an amazing day. They were so easy to work with and you can tell how much they care. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms had such a unique historic charm, while still being up to date. We couldn’t have asked for a better location to host our wedding!
