Tuscany, Italy
We're Vic & Cole — high school sweethearts who met in ceramics class ten years ago and haven't looked back since.
What started in a classroom on Long Island turned into a decade of adventures together — building a life, exploring new places, and making memories both at home and far from it. Tuscany is one of those places. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was somewhere special.
We can't bring Oakley (trust us, we tried), but we're so excited that our favorite people get to share our love of travel and be together in one of the most beautiful places we've ever been.
This is a small wedding — just 40 of our closest friends and family — and that's exactly how we wanted it. The people who've been there for the last ten years, in a place we love, for a weekend we'll never forget.
Oakley: He'll be holding down the fort back in New York while Mom & Dad tie the knot!
All events take place at or near Borgo Stomennano unless otherwise noted.

Italy requires at least 6 months validity beyond your travel dates. If yours expires before 2027, start the renewal process now — not later.
Most guests will fly into Rome Fiumicino (FCO) — it has the most direct flights from the US and is about a 3-hour drive to the venue. Rome has two airports: Fiumicino (FCO) is the main international hub, while Ciampino (CIA) serves budget carriers and has fewer options from the States.
Flying from JFK, EWR, or LGA all work — search below to compare. Book early for the best fares, especially for late September when demand is high.
Borgo Stomennano is in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena. Three airports to choose from:
A rental car is the way to go in Tuscany. Public transit is limited outside the cities, and rideshare isn't reliable near the venue.
Italy uses the Euro (€). Florence, Rome, and most of Tuscany have strong credit card adoption.
Major highways charge tolls. Add a transponder at the rental counter, or use the credit card lane at toll plazas.

3 Località Stomennano, Toscana 53035, Italy
This is where it all happens. Borgo Stomennano is a restored Tuscan estate surrounded by vineyards and olive groves — and it's both the wedding venue and where you'll be staying. No shuttling between a hotel and a separate venue. You'll wake up, walk outside, and already be there.
We're so excited to share this place with you.
Visit Borgo StomennanoA handful of guests will stay at Casa Della Zia, Borgo Stomennano's four-room holiday house in nearby Monteriggioni — a short drive from the main estate. It's a beautiful, private setting, and still very much part of the weekend experience. Transport between Casa Della Zia and the estate is being arranged; we'll share those details closer to the date.
View Casa Della ZiaVic and Cole will assign bedrooms to all guests in advance. You'll receive your accommodation details before you arrive.
$200 per room, per night
Rooms at the estate are a flat $200 per night, and that already includes the local Italian tourist tax. You'll only pay for the nights you actually stay.
Once you've RSVP'd, we'll send your room assignment along with a simple link to reserve it. You can settle your room in advance below, or pay cash to Cole & Vic at check-in.

Natural thermal hot springs cascading over travertine rock formations. Free, beautiful, and one of the most iconic spots in Tuscany.
View on Map
The Uffizi, the Duomo, incredible food, leather markets, and genuinely great shopping. We'll never stop recommending Florence.
View on Map
A walled medieval city that topped our list. Walk or bike along the ancient walls. Worth a full day trip — it gets even better in the evening.

Cole & Vic's Italy List
Most guests will fly from New York into Florence (1h 15m drive), Pisa (1h 45m drive), or Rome (3h drive). Florence is the most convenient. See our Travel section for flight search tools and airport details.
Yes — and it must have an expiration date in 2027 or later. If yours is expired or expiring soon, start the renewal process now. See our Travel section for passport renewal resources.
No. US citizens don't need a visa for stays under 90 days. However, the EU may require a new online authorization called ETIAS by late 2026 — we'll keep everyone updated.
Shuttles will be arranged for group events and excursions, with details shared closer to the date. However, if you plan on exploring the area on your own, we highly recommend renting a car! You're more than welcome to coordinate group travel and share cars with other guests. Check out rental car options in our Travel section.
Check the What to Wear section for event dress codes. Beyond that, pack for warm days and cool evenings, bring a swimsuit, and don't forget a power adapter.
Late September in Tuscany is gorgeous — warm days and cooler evenings. A light jacket or wrap for the evenings is a good idea.
Expect sunny days with occasional brief showers. Evenings can be cool — layers are your friend!
Check live forecastYes. Italy uses Type L and Type C plugs (220V). US plugs won't fit without an adapter — grab a universal travel adapter before you go.
Popular universal adapters:
Rental car. Public transit is limited outside the cities, and rideshare apps aren't reliable near the venue. See rental car options in our Travel section.
Rooms at the estate are a flat $200 per night, including the local Italian tourist tax — and you only pay for the nights you stay. Once you've RSVP'd, we'll send your room assignment and a link to reserve it. You can pay in advance, or settle up in cash at check-in. See Where You'll Stay for details.
Yes. Guests park at the top of the cypress alley — cars aren't permitted down at the Villa gate. It's a short, scenic walk in from the parking area.
Check-in is after 4:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:30 AM. If your travel plans need a little flexibility, let us know and we'll do our best to help.
Our celebration is mostly a grown-ups' affair, but we're happy to welcome little ones who need to join. The estate asks that children under 14 be supervised at all times, stay in the farmhouse rooms (not the main Villa), and skip the Villa's first floor and antique pool. The farmhouse Infinity pool is open to them with an adult. Have questions about your family's plans? Just reach out — we're happy to help.
A few notes to help you plan. Ground-floor rooms are available and have been set aside for guests who need them — if that's you, just let us know. The estate is a historic Tuscan property, so expect uneven terrain and gravel paths. There are also unfenced fountains, terraces, and an antique pool with no lifeguard on duty, so please watch your step and keep an eye on little ones, especially after dark.
Please note any dietary restrictions or allergies in your Zola RSVP, or email us at vc@demarco2026.com. We pass everything along to our caterer so each guest is taken care of.
Email us at vc@demarco2026.com for travel coordination, RSVPs, questions, or just to tell us you're excited.
