You’ll spend two nights at Villa di Piazzano, a historic Renaissance estate in the countryside on the border between Tuscany and Umbria. Staying in a Deluxe Room, you’ll have three days to settle into the peaceful surroundings, explore the gardens and discover the landscape around nearby Cortona.
The Experience
Your Retreat in a Renaissance Estate
Your Deluxe Room offers an individual interpretation of the estate’s character. Located across the main villa, the Limonaia and the Tower building, these rooms range from classical interiors in the historic house to more contemporary spaces in the surrounding buildings. Wherever your room is situated, you’ll find a welcoming retreat to return to throughout your stay.
Three Days at Your Own Pace
With two nights ahead of you, you can leave room for unhurried mornings and spontaneous afternoons. Wander through the botanical gardens, settle beside the outdoor pool or follow a countryside trail beyond the estate. Nearby Cortona offers a reason to venture out, while the quiet grounds give you every reason to linger.
Evenings to Settle In
Back at the villa, you can ease into the evening before returning to the comfort of your Deluxe Room. If you choose to dine at the estate’s restaurant, you’ll discover Tuscan traditions alongside Sardinian influences, with local ingredients and seafood shaping the menu. Dinner can become a leisurely occasion of its own, with no need to travel beyond the grounds.
