In the hills outside Cortona, Villa di Piazzano occupies a Renaissance residence surrounded by cypress trees, olive groves and formal gardens. Rooms and suites retain timber beams, terracotta floors and antique furniture, with contemporary fabrics and bathrooms introduced without flattening the building’s domestic character. The pool lies within the landscaped grounds, while the restaurant serves seasonal Tuscan cooking on terraces overlooking the Val di Chiana. Stone walls, clipped hedges and shaded courtyards connect the main villa with its outbuildings, preserving the measured rhythm of a private country estate.
