Cortona hotels, Villa di Piazzano, historical residence near Perugia, Arezzo, Siena

A special feature of the Villa di Piazzano is its very ancient wine cellar, dating back to the 1400s.

The ancient building techniques used to construct the underground wine cellar ensure a constant temperature of 16 degrees celsius, thus providing a perfect microclimate for some of the finest Italian wines. The port-holes, strategically placed create the constant ventilation necessary to avoid humidity. In the wine cellar we organize wine tasting evenings on specific dates in the summer. The wine tasting calendar for 2009 will be available and also published on the website on 1 March 2009. The cellar can also be rented privately to small groups for special theme dinners or wine tastings.
An example of some theme dinners which can be conducted in the cellar are the “Tuscan rustic dinner” and “Dining like an Etruscan”.

Bar
In the winter time the bar features a cozy open fireplace where one can sit and enjoy an aperitif. In the summer months the bar is transferred under the shaded terrace. Pool service is also available from 10.30-14.00 and 16.30-19.00 through a courtesy phone.
