Hotel Castello Di Tornano Wine Relais (Gaiole in Chianti, Italy)

Swim in the moat of this 11th-century castle in Chianti, a noble residence dating back to the 11th century in Chianti's rolling hills, with moat-turned-pool, cooking classes and wine tasting! Castello di Tornano is a great beauty in the tranquil countryside of Italy’s Chianti region. From the minute you cross the threshold of this imposing 11th-century castle and winery, things feel reassuringly noble. It's no surprise the hotel scooped a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. If you’ve ever dreamt of spending the night in a castle, you won’t be disappointed. This is a masterclass in gorgeous interiors and staggeringly beautiful scenery, with all the magnitude you’d expect from a real-life court. Spend your days strolling through the undulating countryside, working olive groves and vineyards, or simply kick back and bathe yourself in a spot of balmy sunshine before taking a dip with a difference in the hotel’s moat-turned-pool. You’ll be staying in a Superior/Deluxe room - rich and warmly decorated with deep wood, burnt amber and terracotta furnishings, or in a more rustic but comfortable Apartment. Choose a wine tasting with our Chianti or a Cooking Class with our Chef!
