Lake Garda is known for its variety of wedding venues, but with Le Stonghe, only about four hours away near Florence, you will find a place that is characterised by its authentic charm and natural atmosphere. This property is not a typical luxury hotel, but a lovingly designed place that has retained its rural character. Anyone looking for a family atmosphere and rustic cosiness will immediately feel at home here.
As a wedding photographer in Italy, I love taking photos in Le Stonghe. The combination of wide fields, vineyards and the rustic ambience offers a unique backdrop for your wedding photos. Especially in the evening hours, when the light softens and the sun is low in the sky, you can capture the natural beauty of this location perfectly.
Although Le Stonghe is not directly on Lake Garda, the journey from there is a pleasant four-hour drive and takes you into the beautiful Tuscan countryside – a perfect location for an unforgettable wedding.
Authentic flair and rural cosiness
Le Stonghe is a place that stands out from other wedding venues. The property is reminiscent of an idyllic farm, but on a more upscale level. The simple but lovingly designed buildings, the wide green spaces and the unpretentious mood create an atmosphere that is both relaxed and romantic.
Here you feel like you are in the centre of a small, private paradise. The chirping of the crickets, the scent of the surrounding meadows and the fields and vineyards around the estate make this place something very special.
The perfect backdrop for your wedding photos
For me as a wedding photographer, Le Stonghe is a dream come true. The rustic surroundings offer countless opportunities for creative and emotional shots:
- Vast fields and vineyards: this natural backdrop creates a warm, romantic atmosphere.
- Rustic details: Straw bales, wooden beams and the simple buildings give your photos a special, authentic touch.
- Evening light: Especially in the evening hours, when the sun is low, a soft, golden light is created that will make your photos unforgettable.
The combination of nature, rusticity and romance makes this location unique and offers you a variety of photo spots that will capture your memories forever.
