A few simple characteristics that make Valdichiana Senese, in Tuscany, the place to visit this Valentine’s Day and during the rest of the year

Valentine’s day is always a good reason to set out to discover new places and explore in the company of the person with whom we prefer to spend our time. If large cities like Venice or Paris are the first places you think of for a couple’s getaway, hamlets also have their qualities. Indeed, visiting less crowded places allows you to create an atmosphere of authentic intimacy, which is not easy to find in a large urban centre.

Let’s find out why the Valdichiana Senese area, in Southern Tuscany, has all it takes to be included among the most romantic destinations, to absolutely visit together with your partner:

Walks to discover the local hamlets, where you’ll enjoy landscapes of singular beauty

The nine hamlets of Valdichiana Senese are treasure chests of pure beauty, which preserve true artistic and architectural gems. Without a doubt, however, the most romantic places hidden in the hamlets of this area are the panoramic terraces, from which you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. In the month of February, at sunset, the skies are tinged with shades of pink that promise spring: a sight that, who knows, could even inspire a marriage proposal!

The warm embrace of the thermal waters

One of the main characteristics of this corner of Tuscany is the presence of numerous thermal springs. In San Casciano dei Bagni, the Infinity pools of the exclusive Fonteverde SPA offer a privileged view of the surrounding hilly landscape, a perfect combination of the beauty of the Valdichiana Senese and Valdorcia. In Chianciano Terme, the spa activities to do as a couple are divided between the emotional itineraries offered by the Sensory Spa and the regenerating baths at the Theia pools. At the Terme di Montepulciano, relaxation involves treatments dedicated to body care, health and beauty, which provide precious moments of intimacy.

February and winter are the perfect season for aspiring newlyweds who are looking for the perfect setting for their special day. In these months it is possible to visit the Valdichiana Senese area in total tranquility; thanks to the decrease in presences in the area, the treasure hunt for your wedding location will be much easier.

The combination of history, art, and nature creates a unique environment, rich in romance.

4. Exquisite cuisine and wines: a winter wedding in Tuscany is also an opportunity to delight your guests with the robust and genuine flavors of the local cuisine. From ribollita to legume soups, the typical local dishes will warm the atmosphere and delight the palate. At the end of the meal, a toast with Vin Santo, the local sweet wine, is a must.

5. Unique photographs: the winter light in Tuscany is perfect for photography. The soft colors and long shadows of the Tuscan winter landscape create an ethereal and romantic atmosphere, ensuring unique and suggestive wedding photos.

In short, a winter wedding in Tuscany is not just a style choice, but a complete experience that involves all the senses. Between enchanted landscapes, authentic flavors, and unparalleled cultural richness, saying ‘I do’ in this region during winter means giving yourself an unforgettable memory, immersed in a dreamlike atmosphere.

The dress for the big day is the dream of many women and perhaps, with few exceptions, the most important dress. That’s why when the time comes to choose, it’s important to plan it in good time, face it with the utmost serenity, keep in mind a few “rules” of bon ton and gather as much information as possible on the fashion trends of the moment to adapt them to one’s own physique and taste, so you will look marvellous and impeccable!

According to etiquette, for example, one should not enter the church with bare shoulders and back. If the bride is fond of necklines, a shoulder cover or a fairly opaque veil can be considered. Following, however, the must-have trends for wedding dresses 2022, it emerges that:

1. The slightly daring above-the-knee short dress (finally) conquers the altars,surprising everyone;
2. The boho chic style is very much in vogue and makes the bride more casual, less constructed, without sacrificing sophistication;
3. Flowers are the undisputed stars of this season and decorate almost all the summer 2022 wedding dresses, especially in relief for a graceful and romantic effect. And it is immediately “Botticelli’s Spring”;
4. Pastel colours seem to be the most popular alternative for the less traditional bride who chooses a dress that is certainly original and delicate, but also a lot of fun!
5. The volumes become maxi, à la ‘Lady Diana’;
6. A retro taste pervades the catwalks, especially those of Chanel and Blumarine: flounces, puffed sleeves, fringes and little crowns in the hair immediately create a nostalgic effect and still captivate;
7. Tulle is by far the most widely used fabric and gives the dress breadth and dreaminess;
8. Maxi bows finish dresses and are artfully constructed, becoming the most important bridal details this season;
9. Lace never goes out of fashion and this year we have the proof: just think of Hailey Bibier’s mermaid gown by Off-White. Timeless;
10. Sustainability is the leitmotif of this year’s wedding and is reflected in the choice of ethical models made from recycled fabrics.

Everyone armed themselves with good will to redesign itineraries and programs to offer couples an equally exciting and authentic wedding, as well as in complete safety according to the regulations of the period.
The fact that it is a niche destination and the low population density have certainly made success easier; in fact, in summer 2020 several weddings have been celebrated despite the challenges that Italy was facing.
Therefore, by choosing the Valdichiana Senese, you will find full authenticity and extra flexibility.

CHOOSE THE STYLE YOU LIKE THE MOST

It is also well connected with Umbria and the Grosseto area.
It is very easy to reach it from the Milan, Rome, Pisa and Florence airports by car and along the A1 motorway or by train, since the Trenitalia Freccia Rossa high-speed train passes in the Chiusi-Chianciano Terme station.
