Castello di Tornano - 53013 Loc. Tornano

This property is about a mile off the main road. This lends to the seclusion and appeal of the property. Wi-fi service was excellent throughout the entire property not just in your room. Shower stall could use anti slip guards as they were slippery. View from the roof was excellent.

The place is amazing. The staff is very friendly, they showed us the cellars and the view from the top of the castle. The food was delicious and fresh. Would totally come again.

Gorgeous gem in the heart of Tuscany. Super friendly staff and Chef Anna was very accommodating for a gluten-free/Low Fodmap diet. Very close to many other vineyards but with a small-town, quiet feel. Definitely worth a stay!

Place was dreamy in terms of design. Location was also great if you're into 'star trips' in Tuscany. It's a bit isolated in terms of not having shops really near by however there are lovely small villages around with great food and welcoming people. We stayed at the cottage with was very connected to the nature with external hot tub and stove for barbeque. One thing to take in mind is that it's IN the nature :) we had to move to another room due to a wisps attack in the room. Besides that, highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect! We had a nice stay, the castle, the rooms, the swimming pool and the garden are beautiful. We highly recommended:)

Can you put a price on relaxing peace and quiet in a castle in paradise? We came for 3 nights for our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The worst part was having to leave. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure that we had a special and romantic experience. Room was clean and comfortable. Also, the wine was spectacular. Did I mention that it is a castle? If you are looking for an awesome experience in one of the most beautiful places on earth, look no further. You will feel like the king and queen of your very own Tuscan castle in Chianti.

Pros: - fantastic view, beautiful castle, thrilling experience! - dinner was OK. A little mistake from the kitchen but overall OK. Definitely more expensive than average (eg vs Siena) and worse bang for your buck, but you are (fairly rightfully so) paying also for location. - the apartment was nice! Could use a little refresh (especially the fridge) but it was really amazing to sleep in an old castle. It's really one of a kind! Cons: - we were made feel a bit bad because we booked on Expedia (which takes 20% commission). I am sure the receptionist meant it as a joke and that was fine with me... But others might feel bad about it! Not a biggie, but we noticed :) - not the best service overall... Not really the fault of the employees, it seems they are def understaffed. 1 lady to serve breakfast, we waited up to 20 mins to get our coffees both days while she had to serve other guests. - not great breakfast overall (careful, it's 10 EUR per person if not included in your rate). Nothing fresh or homemade it seemed besides the eggs. Very limited choice. Orange juice is bottled. Cereals and yogurt served in plastic cups. Anyway, it wasn't bad and I want to believe a lot is due to Covid safety, but we had totally different and better experiences right before this one so it's tougher to accept... - terrible road up. DON'T GO if you have a sports car, you'll definitely crack the oil cup. Would need a little leveling. This is quite common in tuscany but we found this one to be particularly not so well maintained. - infested by mosquitoes. This is not really the property's fault but a little disinfestation might help? Vs other properties, we decided to spend the whole day in Siena to avoid the mosquito attack. Overall, I would give a 3/5. 3 points for the location. Would earn another 1 with breakfast and service improvements and 1 extra with a bit of roadwork. Mosquito disinfestation again might be a cherry on the cake if you want to spend time at the pool without going mad ?

Let's start with the positive: the location and the castle are beautiful. This goes for the outside as well as the inside (e.g. private rooms, dining room). Furthermore the staff was friendly. So why only three stars? On arrival the shower was not working. After seeking help, the hotel staff said they take care of it, but we did not hear anything for more than an hour. After asking again, they confirmed that the issue is being addressed and half an hour later, the shower finally worked. This can happen, but we would have appreciated being informed more actively. However, the big disappointment was the dinner. Price, quality and quantitiy did not match. At other restaurants during our week in Toscany we ate way better while spending far less. For example, the plates were cold and thus the food only lukewarm, presentation was very basic and portions were small. Breakfast was served but portions were small and supplements did not seem to be expected. To end on a good note: the staff reacted positively to our critisism.
