Hotel in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy - Villa di Piazzano, four stars

Villa di Piazzano, Cortona

Villa di Piazzano has hotel rooms in central Italy set within a gorgeous 15th-century manor house. The villa is idyllically situated just outside the delightful Tuscan city of Cortona. Set peacefully in wonderful countryside on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, this is a perfect spot from which to discover this fascinating area of Italy. The approach to the villa is through a cypress tree lined drive, running alongside a delightful formal Italian garden.

There are 17 beautifully furnished and spacious rooms, each individually decorated with classic antiques and opulent fabrics. All the windows open out on to magnificent views of the surrounding countryside; you can relax to the sound of birdsong while the scent of flowers drifts through from the garden. Many rooms have sumptuous canopied beds and one has a gorgeous frescoed ceiling painted in soft pastel colours. All the rooms have a private bathroom, cable/satellite TV, internet connection point and a minibar. Wake-up calls are available if requested and there is a reduced rate for under-13s staying in their parents' room.

An elegant restaurant serves a varied menu of typical local fare created using fresh, seasonal produce. There is also a relaxing bar, which spills out onto the shaded terrace during the summer months.

English is spoken here and this hotel in Cortona has a generously sized open-air pool and private parking for guests. Small, well-behaved pets are welcome and all major credit cards are accepted.
