Located in the historic centre of Citta della Pieve (City of Churches), a charming hill-top town overlooking the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside, Hotel Vannucci's position makes a perfect base from which to explore central Italy. Once used as a summer home by royals, this property recently underwent extensive renovation and has 30 stylish accommodations, including suites/triples that are well suited for families.

A lovely plunge pool set within wood decking provides a private area for sunbathing and relaxation. Additional facilities include a fitness room, sauna, and Jacuzzi. The hotel's public spaces are warm and wonderfully decorated mixing modern elements with classic decor; many of the unique light fixtures were created by the hotel's owner. There is a library with fireplace and a bar/lounge with outdoor seating that serves American cocktails. The hotel's restaurant is absolutely fantastic! With over three hundred wine labels and a changing menu focused on regional cuisine using local ingredients, Ristorante Zafferano is a must for guests staying at the hotel and any tourists traveling through the area.
