Villa di Piazzano - Historical Residence ****

Location
Located a few kilometres from Cortona, Villa di Piazzano dominates the surrounding landscape, offering guests relaxing views over the beautiful Tuscan countryside, dotted with endless expanses of vineyards and olive groves.
The elegant period residence enjoys a privileged location within easy reach of many of Tuscany and close-lying Umbria’s places of interest: Pienza, Montepulciano, Arezzo, Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi.

Hotel
A former hunting lodge built in 1464, this magical corner of Tuscany was discovered by the Wimpole family in 1998. Renovated in full respect of its past, Villa di Piazzano today is a place devoted to hospitality, where tasteful elegance and bucolic nature meet. The villa is set deep in its own large garden, a century-old park protected by the Superintendent for Environmental Heritage due to its natural importance. The beautiful pool with its sundeck nestles in this oasis of relaxation and tranquillity.

Please note that children are welcome from 10 years.
