Weddings, gala dinners and private parties for up to 200 guests can be held here, with 25 bedrooms on site for the families and friends who travel in. Villa Acquaviva Wine Resort is the hospitality side of Fattoria Villacquaviva, a wine estate on the Strada Scansanese at Montemerano, in the municipality of Manciano, in the Maremma area of southern Tuscany.
Seminars and company events
The website does not sell meetings or seminars and lists no meeting room or audiovisual equipment. What it does offer groups is a large indoor hall used for gala dinners and private parties, with table service or a buffet, and open-air buffets in the park. A company dinner or a celebration for a team fits that offer. A working seminar with plenary sessions would need to be discussed directly with the estate before any planning.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main event business. The estate offers three settings that can be combined over one day: the Fattoria hall for the banquet, La Limonaia for a smaller private party, and the garden in front of the villa for an outdoor reception or a buffet. The park, the vineyards and the villa are also open for wedding photographs. On request, the team arranges banqueting, music and entertainment, flowers, photography, and full planning and coordination of the event, with indoor or outdoor layouts. The website does not say where ceremonies take place, so couples should ask about civil and religious options.
Rooms and capacities
The Fattoria hall is a modern building that opens onto the vineyards and the countryside. It takes up to 200 guests for a banquet, a gala dinner or a private party, seated or as a buffet. La Limonaia, the restaurant, looks over the pool and the medieval village of Montemerano and suits private events of up to 50 guests. Il Giardino, the park in front of the 19th-century villa, covers more than six hectares and is used for open-air receptions.
Accommodation
The resort has 25 rooms spread between the main villa and two old farmhouses. Categories run from Classic and French rooms to Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suite, Suite and Wine Resort rooms, which makes it possible to house much of a wedding party on site. The website does not describe room blocks or exclusive hire terms for weddings.
Catering
La Limonaia serves Tuscan cooking built on local, short-supply-chain ingredients. The estate produces its own Maremma wines, including Morellino di Scansano DOCG, as well as spirits and olive oil, and runs tastings in its cellar that can be added to a wedding weekend program for guests.
History and setting
The property brings together a 19th-century villa, two farmhouses and a working winery set among vineyards in the hills of the Maremma. It lies close to the thermal springs of Saturnia and faces Montemerano, one of the walled medieval villages of the area.
Getting there
The address is Strada Scansanese, 58014 Montemerano, Manciano, in the province of Grosseto. Guests usually arrive by car, and the Terme di Saturnia are nearby for a free afternoon. Rome Fiumicino is the closest large international airport, with the last stretch made by road through the Maremma countryside.
