Grand Hotel Villa Cappugi in Pistoia, open April–August.
Grand Hotel Villa Cappugi stands apart in Pistoia by offering a genuine Renaissance villa converted into a luxury hotel, rather than a purpose-built event space.
Located on a sprawling estate with original 16th-century architecture, the venue provides guests with accommodations on-site—a rare advantage that transforms a single-day event into a multi-day celebration.
The combination of working vineyard grounds, period frescoes, and 45 guest rooms creates an immersive destination experience unavailable at conventional hotels.
We stayed in this hote as a family l in our way north. It was great. Good location and with parking. They made our bed also considering the kids, very welcoming for arriving late and tired in the evening. Spacious room and good breakfast. The hotel had a big swimming pool, which looked really nice, unfortunately we did not had the time to swim. I would stay there again.
