Villa Castelletti can host a board meeting, a conference for 300 or a gala dinner and outdoor reception for up to 1,000 guests. The historic villa stands in its own listed park at Signa, in the countryside west of Florence, with a boutique hotel in the old farm hamlet next door.
Seminars and company events
The villa sells conferences, meetings, workshops, team building and gala dinners. Its largest indoor hall, the Winter Garden, takes up to 950 people, while the Conference Room holds up to 300 and the Captain's Room up to 250. Smaller groups can use the Theater Room for up to 120, or the Red Room and the Green Room for up to 60 each, which suit breakout sessions alongside a plenary. Wi-Fi is free across the villa and the park, most rooms have basic technical installations, and a large car park sits beside the building. The team also rents the property for fashion shows, photo shoots and filming.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core part of the business. Civil ceremonies can be held at the villa under an agreement with the Municipality of Signa. Couples choose between two settings: the Noble Floor with the park, or the cellars with the park. The villa's own staff helps with design and planning, and the in-house caterer serves the meal. Birthdays, graduations, christenings and other private parties are also accepted, and the villa offers symbolic ceremonies on request.
Rooms and capacities
The Noble Floor holds the main halls. The Winter Garden covers 687 square meters under a ceiling of about 5.2 meters. The Conference Room covers 290 square meters and the Captain's Room 230 square meters. The Theater Room measures 78 square meters, and the Red and Green Rooms 70 square meters each. Below, the cellars total 370 square meters and take up to 120 guests. Outdoors, the 20-acre park can welcome events of up to 1,000 people. These figures are the maximums stated by the villa; actual numbers depend on the layout chosen.
Accommodation
Hotel Il Borgo, a three-star boutique hotel, occupies the old hamlet of the estate, a cluster of farmhouses first built in the 17th century. Breakfast is included when rooms are booked through the hotel's own site. The villa does not publish the number of bedrooms, so groups should ask how many guests can stay on site.
Catering
Food is handled by the villa's private catering service, available for meetings, dinners and weddings. Menus are agreed with the events team.
History and setting
Villa Castelletti counts among the historic villas of the Florentine countryside. Its park is recorded in Italy's national archive of historic heritage sites. The events team cites ten years of experience running the venue.
Getting there
The villa is at Via di Castelletti 5 in Signa, a short drive from central Florence. From the A1 motorway, take the Firenze-Scandicci exit, then the FI-PI-LI expressway to the Lastra a Signa exit; from the A11, use Prato Est. Coaches must arrive via Via Pistoiese, because the other approach passes under a bridge with a 3.30 meter clearance. The villa can arrange transfers from the airport or the train station.
