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
