A Historic Estate in the Heart of Florence

Villa Agape is much more than a luxury hotel; it is a place where history and culture meet. Originally dating back to the Middle Ages, the villa takes its name from the scholar Niccolò Arrighetti, a follower of Galileo Galilei, who lived here and whose legacy is still remembered by a plaque on the façade.

Over the centuries, the villa has hosted prestigious owners, including the Duchess of Aosta, Anna d’Orléans, in the mid-20th century. Today, after a careful restoration, it stands as an elegant boutique hotel featuring a stunning Italian garden and a private park, offering a secluded sanctuary for destination weddings while remaining in the heart of Florence.

Cinematic Backdrops and Italian Gardens

As a videographer, I find Villa Agape to be a dream location. The villa is famous for its perfectly manicured Italian garden, its romantic pathways, and the iconic turret that overlooks the lush greenery.

Whether it’s an intimate ceremony in the private chapel or a grand reception under the stars, the villa provides a variety of settings that are perfect for cinematic storytelling. The light filtering through the ancient trees and the classic architecture make it an ideal choice for couples seeking an authentic Florentine experience.

Every event at Villa Agape has its own unique rhythm, and I’ve had the privilege of documenting different types of celebrations here:

• Rav & Rav (Indian Pre-wedding Session): A vibrant and colorful pre-wedding shoot that showcased the majesty of the villa’s gardens. The traditional Indian attire created a stunning contrast with the classical Italian architecture, resulting in a film filled with energy and beauty.
• Jimmy & Sarah: A sophisticated and heartfelt wedding celebration. Their story unfolded between the historic walls of the villa and the romantic garden, capturing the true essence of an elegant destination wedding in Florence.
