LOVE AMIDST THE TUSCAN HILLS

Tuscany is by far one of the world’s most desired destinations for nuptials. It could be the exquisite cuisine, the endless rolling hills, the warm sun or the brimming culture you find at every turn. Whatever reason brings you to this magical Italian region, you’ll have a plethora of options to navigate and an incredible number of locations to choose from. To make the decision a little easier for you, let us introduce a little gem, a one-of-a-kind backdrop nestled in the Tuscan hills. For a sense of true Tuscan tradition, envelop yourself in the charming medieval village of Borgo Giusto Tuscany, a seventeenth-century hamlet not far from the enchanting city of Lucca. Tucked away among chestnut trees and olive groves, this precious village has undergone meticulous restoration, becoming a window into the past without compromising on modern comforts. Inside the village, you’ll find the town square, swimming pool and stunning green spaces, precious residences and a reception hall for events.

The entire Borgo could be yours if you wish to celebrate surrounded by loved ones. You could even make a weekend out of it! Couples can host family and friends on-site as Borgo Giusto boasts suites, villas and period farmhouses, from two to 12 beds for small or big parties. Each one is exclusive and welcoming, where privacy is guaranteed. The accommodations maintain traditional Tuscan touches: stone walls, chestnut beams and terracotta floors, taking you back to the nostalgic Tuscan lifestyle. With different furnishings and personalities, each “casa” will be a home-away-from-home for your guests.

During your sojourn, you’ll never run out of activities and new experiences to enjoy, ensuring that every moment spent in this Italian paradise is filled with wonder. Whether it’s an invigorating tour of the rolling countryside by bike or a sophisticated visit to a nearby sun-drenched vineyard for a private tour, the options for exploration are truly endless. To make sure your guests break the ice and feel part of the celebration from the very beginning, you can rely on the Borgo Giusto team to come up with the perfect solutions tailored to your group. From immersive Tuscan cooking classes and authentic pizza-making workshops to curated wine tastings that showcase local vintages, there is something to pique every interest. You might also arrange for rejuvenating yoga sessions on the lush grounds or leisurely walks through the surrounding chestnut trees and olive groves. The expansive outdoor pool is also the perfect place to gather everyone for some music and leisure. And, for an extra dose of relaxation, Borgo Giusto has at its disposal a Spa and Wellness centre that allows its guests to regenerate. Facilities include a sauna, Turkish bath and a massage and mud room, as well as a relaxation room to enjoy a hot drink. If you want to spend time in total relaxation or a few hours of pure romance, just choose the loggia with a jacuzzi inside with hydromassage, plus a splendid view of the woods. By offering these diverse experiences, you can keep everyone entertained and engaged as you prepare for your vows in this one-of-a- kind backdrop.

For your big day, Borgo Giusto is a blank canvas to transform into your dream vision. The beautiful ancestral trees and sprawling views can be the frame to your day, while for a sit-down reception, the main banqueting hall will be the perfect corner of the village to use. Borgo Giusto has also gone the extra mile in curating a glass marquee for an ultra-elegant plan B. Stefania and the team at Borgo Giusto will be there every step of the way to make you feel at ease. They’ll discuss with you the colour scheme, decorations and style of ceremony you have envisioned. Then, you’ll sit down with Stefania to curate the ultimate wedding menu, rich in local produce and homemade goods.

A jewel in the crown of Borgo Giusto is the restaurant. In the heart of the Tuscan hills, immersed in the timeless atmosphere of a historic village, Ristorante Borgo Giusto offers an authentic and unforgettable culinary experience. Here, tradition and innovation meet to create dishes that enhance the genuine flavours of the land, using only fresh and local ingredients, from the best cut of meat to local pecorino cheese. The culinary journey at Borgo Giusto is a tribute to the rich gastronomic heritage of Tuscany, and the dishes reflect that, from the pappardelle with wild boar sauce to homemade butter and sage gnudi with ricotta and spinach filling. Guests can expect a menu that celebrates seasonal produce, much of it sourced directly from the surrounding countryside or artisanal producers in the Lucca region. Each dish is carefully crafted to tell a story of the land, blending time-honoured recipes with contemporary techniques that elevate simple ingredients into sophisticated works of art.

To complement the exquisite food, the restaurant offers a curated selection of local wines. Guests can explore the nuances of Tuscan viticulture through wine tastings or by pairing their meals with wines from sun-drenched vineyards nearby. Under the guidance of Stefania and her dedicated team, every aspect of the dining experience – from the custom-designed wedding menus to the daily offerings – is handled with a passion for excellence and a commitment to authentic Italian hospitality.
