We wanted a castle close to Florence that had things to do in the area bec we didn't rent a car (we had private transportation to and from the hotel). This place had everything we wanted to keep us leisurely occupied: on site horseback riding, vineyards, winery, and good food. There is a gourmet chef who is there daily and... More

To set the scene, we were on a honeymoon and fancied somewhere special and romantic so a castle seemed like a perfect idea. Entry level is 190 euros, which based on other places we visited being 25% less, seemed like a lot. But we loved the castle and its location. Our room, "Romeo and Juliet" was in the castle rather...

My fiance and I stayed at Castello di Tornano in August last year. Just a 90 minute drive out of Florence in the heart of Chianti, this place is truly heaven on Earth. Maura, the Castello Manager was incredibly accomodating from start to finish. In fact all staff were very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The Castello was built... More

Lovely place in the middle of nowhere but centrally located in Tuscany for day trips. The breakfasts were wonderful , dinners a little pricey ,one meal excellent one ok, too salty. The road leading to castle is a bit steep and gravely but negotiable with any car. Hard to find. The room was clean as was bathroom and comfortable. More

Four of us spent two nighs at the Castello di Tornano. The property is well-maintained and website pictures are representative of the location and facilities. The stay was, however, unremarkable. We elected to have dinner at the castle on our first evening - 40 € for a menu composed of beef carpaccio appetizer, potato soup, gnocchi, filet and a dessert... More

Stay at a castle in Tuscany and enjoy! This was a great experience. The castle was beautifully decorated. The rooms were great and the showers were great! The hot tub (lukewarm water) on top of the tower had fantastic views and with a bottle of wine was so enjoyable. The dinner at the castle was very good and romantic. The... More

Just stayed at this magnificent charmer! Well marked signs led us to the gorgeous Castello di Tornano...a warm welcome, a lovely junior suite in the castle (though they also have apartments on the property)...speaking of the property - it is set on and around hills and vineyards - totally lovely...we arrived, were greeted warmly and shown to our room on...

We spent 2 days in 3 days in Florence before we arrived at Castello di Tornano so we needed a well earned rest. Our room was in the tower and as soon as we checked in, we fell in love with the place. The mood was very relaxed and gentle. We had a hire car (you really do need a... More
