THE EVENT
I have booked Castello di Fighine (pictured above) between Monday the 30th of June through to Sunday the 6th of July and I would like to invite you, as guests, to celebrate mine and Jake’s birthday. I’ve taken care of the accommodation for the entire week so consider this my treat and we are looking forward to seeing you all!
LOCATION:
The estate includes a majestic 11th century castle (not part of our accommodation booking) and we have the large estate to ourselves for this period! The estate sits at the southern tip of Tuscany, very close to the Lazian and Umbrian borders. Here is a link to the property: https://www.fighine.it
The idea will be for us all to hang out for the week, coming together as we want, split off as we'd like or just hang by the two pools….very casual. On my birthday (4th of July), I will be arranging an afternoon and dinner for us all to celebrate together, so please don’t schedule anything for that afternoon/ evening.
The site has a Michelin star restaurant called Castello di Fighine (bookings required) for those looking for some dining luxury! (www.fighine.it/Restaurant.html).
The local town is called San Casciano dei Bagni and is only 5kms away. It has many restaurants and also a luxury spa (www.fonteverdespa.com).
I suggest groups of us rent cars in order for us to explore the region at leisure.
ACCOMMODATION:
There will be 34 of us split across 5 villas and 2 apartments, which are all in close proximity within the estate. The accommodation/rooming will be allocated in advance. Each of the villas have self-catering options. This will enable you to stock up with wonderful food and drink from the local supermarkets, markets and wineries throughout the week. The two apartments do not have kitchen facilities. I’m sure everyone will be hosting and mixing to ensure the apartments don’t go hungry. 😊
For those of you unable to switch off from being connected the property has wifi with a speed of 30Mbps.
Please note check-in time is no earlier than 4pm and check-out time is 10am.
