We had the pleasure of staying at the Villa Di Piazzano and it exceeded our expecations. The Villa is surrounded by mountains and located in secluded area within 10 minutes of Cortona. The rooms are nicely appointed and the staff were very helpful, warm and friendly. The food was excellent - both breakfast (included in our package) and dinner (your choice to eat there). The garden and pool and surrounding areas were well manicured and very peaceful. The location is within 1 hour of San Gimilgnano, Montepulciano and several other lovely Tuscan cities. Great choice - very romantic and endearing.

Villa di Piazzano is a delightful country hotel and an excellent place from which to explore the wonders of Tuscany. We had a wonderful time there, and were looked after by all the staff, who are all very warm and friendly. The hotel chef is amazing and the breakfasts, dinners and wine were all superb. Excellent value. My children enjoyed themselves thoroughly and the Wimpole family, who own and run the hotel, were gracious and generous hosts. If you plan a trip to Tuscany, I would highly recommend you make Villa di Piazzano your base.

Villa di Piazzano is a luxurious 'estate' hotel (15th century hunting lodge) just a few minutes drive from Cortona's shops, markets, restaurants and historic sites. The grounds are beautiful; unfortunately it was still too cold to enjoy a drink by the pool after a day of sight seeing when we were there at the end of March. We relaxed inside; the villa has a number of lounges with elegant furniture that are wonderful places for revisiting maps and reviewing photos. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated. We had a view to the hills of Cortona – what a sight at night. Breakfast was very good and food & wine at the restaurant delicious. The service was excellent, staff was happy to assist with car rental (we arrived by train from Venice) as well as recommend and book nearby winery tours ('a must' when visiting Cortona area) as well as providing us with great recommendations to experience the local rustic pizzeria as well as up market restaurants in Cortona. The experience at Villa di Piazzano is worth every euro. We had a wonderful stay.

I have been in Villa di Piazzano for my honeymoon for two nights.
We regret not to be more time, because it was a great experience! The best? It's a charming hotel, with life; situated in a great place, with beautiful landscapes; and the service, the food is just unforgettable.
We have dinner twice in the villa, because it has a fantastic food and service. The best desert I have ever eaten, it was the tiramisu.
We went to Cortona by bike and it was great (a small town with character, typical Tuscany). A little bit hard (not for everyone), but it deserves the work to go up the hill. After, it's a wonderful way down.
We also loved the street with trees all along that goes to the villa.
We hope to get there again! To visit more things around, or maybe only to stay more time.
