My wife and I came across this amazing hotel in order to locate near Cortona.Little did we know of the Villa's place in history dating from the 1400's and yet so full of modern day conveniences. The once magnificent hunting lodge owned by the Cardinal of Cortona maintains its regal splendor through today. the attentive staff and, indeed, even the owner work to provide an unforgettable experience. the complimentary buffet breakfast and the five-star alfresco dining by the garden were magical. the location is prime for exploring the hillside villages which beckon daily romantic outings. All said, this was a divine way to complete our second honeymoon!

This intimate luxury hotel has it all! We were wowed by our upgraded accomdations and the brakfast and dinners were the finest we were served bar none. The owner took us on an insider's tour of this ageless wonder complete with tales of the Cardinal of Cotona, the convent conversion and the Nazi field headquarters. We loved the location and truly would rate this simply "the best."

The hotel staff were excellent. The room and meals at the hotel were wonderful. We took a Tuscan cooking class that was great.

Our group of 26 family and friends stayed at Villa di Piazzano to celebrate our wedding in May 2011. The genuine warmth, generosity and attention to detail by all of the staff, and the quality of the facilities and food was exceptional.

After five months to reflect on our time at the Villa, all of us are only left wishing we had stayed longer, infact some of our group are making plans to return.

The breakfasts were to die for, the service at every meal outstanding, and Gabriella’s Tiramisu was superb not to mention the wine selection and the ambiance at the Villa simply perfect.

The plans for our wedding went without a hitch and this was entirely due to the amazing support shown us by the staff, particularly Allessandra, Ruth and Damien.

As an example of the generosity; when our interpreter advised at short notice that she was unable to attend, it was Damien who insisted he could step in to interpret the ceremony. He brought great style to the occasion!

There are 124 reviews that have rated this complex highly and we would like to be the 125th.

This is one truly stunning establishment in every sense and we will return one day to celebrate an anniversary of what was a truly unforgettable experience.
