Monastero San Silvestro

Monastero San Silvestro – A historic residence in the heart of Tuscany

Just a few minutes from the historic centre of Cortona, nestled in the Tuscan countryside, Monastero San Silvestro is a former 14th-century Benedictine monastery, now a venue for weddings, private events, corporate meetings and retreats.

Stone, brick, original arches and extensive green spaces preserve the property’s authentic charm and offer a variety of settings for ceremonies, receptions and stays.

Weddings and civil ceremonies

Monastero San Silvestro is registered to host official civil ceremonies directly within its grounds, allowing you to hold both the wedding ceremony and reception in the same venue.

The outdoor spaces can accommodate the ceremony, pre-dinner drinks and dinner, whilst the swimming pool provides the ideal setting for welcome cocktails and informal gatherings with guests.

We work with a trusted catering provider to tailor menus and arrangements to your desired style: from a rustic, convivial wedding inspired by Tuscan tradition to an elegant and chic reception.

Events all year round

The indoor spaces allow you to enjoy the Monastery even in the colder months. The Archi space, with its characteristic brick vaults, and the indoor lounge with a working fireplace create a particularly atmospheric setting for receptions, corporate dinners, Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve dinners.

Event and accommodation in a single location

The self-contained apartments within the property allow guests to stay overnight right at the Monastery – a particularly attractive option for destination weddings, multi-day events and group stays.

Monastero San Silvestro thus combines the charm of a historic residence, the tranquillity of the countryside and its proximity to Cortona in an authentically Tuscan setting, to be enjoyed in every season.
