Villa Cozzano in Castiglione del Lago, open June–November.
A sixteenth-century villa built in 1543 and held by the Lazzerini family ever since, nearly five hundred years of single-family stewardship, which you feel in every worn stone of the courtyard.
The estate sits on a hilltop just over the Tuscan border near Lake Trasimeno and Cortona, thirty hectares of sunflower fields, olive groves and vineyards, with a pool, a farm-to-table kitchen, and a courtyard “piazza” where the long wedding dinners happen.
Six suites in the villa sleep the core group of around twenty-five.
It is the under-the-radar value of our featured list: full exclusive-use weekends at a fraction of the marquee-name buyouts, best at fifty to eighty guests, with couples bringing their own planner.
What a magical stay. We stayed at Villa Cozzano for our wedding anniversary & it was the perfect stay to celebrate. I love the rustic feels all through the villa. It is a very small, quaint spot & that's what makes it wven more special. They have activities (at extra cost) which you can book during your stay & I highly recommend you take advantage. We did the movie night & it was something from well a movie 😅 Soo cozy & you get to choose any movie of your choice. The breakfast in the morning was so nice, they have a good spread of pastries, yogurt & then you have a few items you can pick from an ala carte. Their dinner is delicious. We ate in the Villa two nights & neither dissapointed. Had one of the most delicious tiramisu & they make their own Wine & Olive oil so that was on repeat ♥️ We stayed in two different rooms: Poggio Gabbiano 1 which has a beautiful view of the vineyard & the most stunning sunsets but our favorite was La Scoula, it is more spacious, the bathroom is a bit bigger & you also have a great little terrace area to enjoy a drink or morning coffee. The service in Villa Cozzano is 20/10, they are very friendly & it is a very personalized touch as there are only 6 rooms in the entire villa. We did visit Cortona during our stay & it was about a 20 min drive. Highly rec & cannot wait to be back.

Ceremonies and courtyard dinners up to about 100 guests, with the dance space (the Blu Grotto) around 50. The villa’s six suites sleep roughly 23–28, and planners recommend 50–80 guests as the sweet spot.
What does a Villa Cozzano wedding cost?+
Planner-reported rates: about €9,900 per night in high season (€8,800 standard), plus a €1,000 wedding-day grounds fee, with a two-night minimum. Typical all-in budgets run €50,000–100,000 for 50–80 guests. There’s no in-house coordinator, bring a planner.
