Renaissance villa in Tuscany, a charming and elegant solution for your elopement
Villa di Piazzano is a 15th-century historic residence on the border of Tuscany and Umbria, just minutes from Cortona.
It is an excellent base for couples planning a Catholic church ceremony in one of Cortona’s historic churches, followed by a private celebration on the estate.
Because it is a protected historic hotel, planning requires careful coordination. We manage the logistics with the villa and church so the day feels seamless from ceremony to celebration.
Villa di Piazzano is one of several historic venues we work with. You can compare more Tuscany elopement venues to find the right fit for your day.
