Taxis

Arriving at Siena Train Station:

If you are arriving by train to Siena Train Station, exit the station and turn right to find the taxi stand (curbside).

The address for the wedding villa is: Villa Catignano, Strada Comunale di Catignano, 25, 53019 Castelnuovo Berardenga SI, Italy.

Taxi’s into Siena:

If you need a taxi from your accommodation into Siena, the villa has provided us with the local taxi company details:

Number: +39 0577 49222
Website: www.taxisiena.it/en/contatti

There is a booking form on the Taxi Siena website that you can also use to pre-book transport.

If you have any issues at all, you can always ask the reception staff at the villa to help you arrange onward transport from the villa. We’d recommend doing this as soon as you check in on Monday (if you are needing a taxi into Siena for the Wednesday night or for Thursday after check-out).

Bringing Food & Drink to the Villa

You are more than welcome to bring food & drink you would like into the villa and keep in your rooms. The villa accommodation will have kitchenette facilities, so if you want snacks and drinks to have while you are getting ready, please feel free to do so!

What’s the dress code?

Pizza Party: We thought it would be fun to embrace the Italian theme with red, white, and green (like the Italian flag). This is completely optional, so feel free to join in if you like, or just wear whatever you feel comfortable in!

Wedding Day: The dress code is garden-party smart. Think suits for men and summery florals for women (see ideas below), but again, it’s totally optional. We want you to feel comfortable and focus on having the best time with us!

Do we need to bring a gift?

Your presence is the greatest gift to us, especially as so many of you are travelling a long way to celebrate with us. We truly don’t expect anything more!

However, if you’d still like to give a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be amazing and much appreciated.

What is for breakfast and when?

Breakfast is a delicious classic continental spread, including:

Cereal Corner: Coco Pops, Cornflakes, and Muesli.
Pastries: Mini croissants (filled and plain) and tarts.
Breads & Spreads: Assorted breads, jams, and butter.
Other Treats: Yoghurt, fresh fruit, cold cuts (ham, salami), cheese, and assorted quiches.
Drinks: Juices, coffee, and tea.

It will be served in the Breakfast Room within the Main Villa on Tuesday and Wednesday for those staying at the villa. Here are the approximate timings for each day:

Tuesday 30th September (Wedding Day): 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Wednesday 1st October (Pool Day): 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Thursday 2nd October (Check-out Day): Please note, as some guests are leaving early on Thursday, we will provide breakfast goodie bags for you to grab as you go.

We’ll have gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available. If you have any questions or specific requirements, let us know using the form below!
