FAQ

1. How far is Villa le Querce from the Abbey of San Galgano?

Villa le Querce is located just 2.5 km (about 1.5 miles) from the Abbey of San Galgano in Chiusdino, near Siena. This proximity makes it one of the most convenient and sought-after venues for couples who wish to celebrate their ceremony in the iconic roofless abbey and host their reception just a few minutes away.

2. What is the maximum guest capacity of the villa?

The villa can comfortably host up to 130 guests. We offer versatile outdoor spaces and elegant indoor halls, ensuring a seamless flow and a comfortable experience for groups of this size.

3. What is the "Plan B" in case of rain?

We have you covered. Villa le Querce features spacious indoor halls that can accommodate all 130 guests simultaneously. Unlike many other venues, there is no need to rent expensive external marquees or tents, as our historic architecture provides an elegant and secure indoor alternative.

4. Is there accommodation available on-site?

Yes, Villa le Querce offers 4 independent apartments within the estate. These are perfect for the newlyweds, their immediate family, or bridesmaids/groomsmen, allowing them to enjoy the wedding festivities in total relaxation in the heart of the Tuscan countryside.

5. Can we have the cake cutting or aperitif by the pool?

Absolutely. Our panoramic swimming pool is one of the most popular spots for a welcome cocktail or a scenic cake-cutting ceremony, offering breathtaking views over the Sienese hills and the surrounding landscape.

6. Why is Villa le Querce not listed on large wedding portals like Matrimonio.com?

We have intentionally chosen not to be on mass-market wedding portals to prioritize a direct, authentic, and transparent relationship with our couples. We believe a wedding at Villa le Querce should be a bespoke experience, not a standardized package. We prefer investing in the quality of our service rather than paying commissions to third-party intermediaries.

7. Is the villa rented for exclusive use?

Yes, we guarantee exclusive use of the entire estate for your wedding day. This ensures maximum privacy for you and your guests, allowing you to enjoy every corner of the villa—from the gardens to the pool—without any outside interference.

8. Do you provide in-house catering?

We collaborate with the finest Tuscan catering professionals to offer high-quality menus based on local and seasonal products. However, we also offer the flexibility for couples to choose their own trusted caterers or select from our curated list of preferred partners.

9. At Villa Le Querce, we believe in the importance of creating authentic connections and offering personalised experiences to each couple we choose to host. Although Matrimonio.com is a well-known platform for wedding suppliers, we have chosen a more direct approach to connect with prospective brides and grooms.

Initially, we joined Matrimonio.com to make our location more visible to those seeking the charm of Tuscany. Over time, however, we realised that our commitment to a direct and personalised relationship with couples is better reflected through other platforms and methods. This allows us to remain true to our values, without additional costs or compromises.

Moving away from Matrimonio.com, we have chosen to grow through word of mouth, honest reviews and genuine relationships. We are extremely proud of the trust and enthusiasm shown by couples who have celebrated their special day with us.

Whether you found us through friends, family or purely by chance, know that this is a significant start for us. Thank you for taking the time to discover Villa Le Querce. We look forward to helping you create unforgettable memories.
