    One of the most characteristic places in the Sienese Chianti

    Nestled among woods and vineyards, Tornano Castle is a typical medieval fortification in the Chianti region, dating back to at least the 11th century. Once owned by the Guidi counts and later controlled by the Ricasoli family, it was repeatedly contested during the conflicts between Florence and Siena.
    The structure retains its defensive character with its massive circular tower, crenellated walls, and the village clustered around the internal courtyard. Carefully restored, it now houses a guesthouse that allows guests to experience the castle's atmosphere up close, amidst ancient stone, panoramic views, and local wine.
