But wait, it’s not just them. The gorgeous heritage villa of Borgo Finocchieto where the couple got married looks equally splendid. Here is everything that you need to know about the hush-hush intimate location where Virushka got married.

Originally a farming village, Borgo Finocchieto is an eight-hundred-year-old heritage village restored to perfection by John Phillips, the owner of the Borgo. And it all didn’t happen overnight. The extensive restoration of the unique Tuscan property took John Phillips a solid eight years. But the elegance that it possesses now is worth an eternity.
