"Villa di Piazzano – A Culinary and Countryside Dream Come True Villa di Piazzano was the undeniable highlight of our Tuscany trip — and quite possibly the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The property itself is stunning: a beautifully preserved historic estate set in the peaceful hills near Cortona, surrounded by gardens, vineyards, and the golden light of the Tuscan countryside. But what truly set this place apart — what made it unforgettable — was the food. We were treated to an extraordinary culinary journey: over 19 exquisite courses, each one more delicious and artfully presented than the last. Every dish felt like a masterpiece — bold in flavor, flawless in technique, and crafted with the kind of passion you’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The chef didn’t just cook — they told a story with each plate. The restaurant staff went above and beyond, especially the manager, who made us feel like honored guests every time we sat down to dine. Every detail — from wine pairings to plating — was perfect. It was, hands down, the best food we had in all of Europe. Villa di Piazzano is more than just a luxurious stay — it’s a destination for food lovers, a place where elegance, tranquility, and world-class cuisine come together in perfect harmony. We’ll remember this place — and the flavors — for the rest of our lives. For anyone seeking authentic Tuscan charm, gourmet excellence, and a truly special escape: this is it. Five stars. 10/10. A flawless experie"

"Fantastic hotel, all of the staff are excellent and made the experience even better. The views from the hotel of Cortona are incredible and we wish we'd booked a longer stay. The rooms are immaculate, clean and very comfortable. All of the amenities follow in the same vein and are so nice you almost don't want to venture out into the town. "

"Jason helped us and made the difference"

"They accomodated our last minute booking and were very friendly. Everything was nice and clean but a bit flimsy like a squeaky door. It also was too hot, maybe from the towel warmer. A free bottle of wine after our stay was a nice touch."
