Sept 2025 review
Pros:

We found the hotel staff to be very nice. The rooms were clean and staff friendly. The hotel is not near the winery, it is 1 km walk away, the winery itself is nice, but very sales focused. To book the restaurant on site, you have to pay for the dinner experience which is another wine tasting and push for wine club/sales.
The restaurant is far away! You need to drive or arrange for a transfer that will cost you approx €30 round trip.
The food was fabulous in all places.
The app - WhatsApp to communicate is okay IF they respond. We arranged a transfer for pick up and no one showed up, we messaged and no one responded even by the next morning, hotel tried to charge for this but when we explained no one came, they adjusted it with out question.
We also did the horse back riding experience, it was a lovely walk, but not worth the price. In short, I would not go back or recommend it but our stay good. With shuttles to and forth to the winery, restaurant - the total was just over €100 for 3 round trips. Hopes this helps anyone looking for an honest and recent review.

Pros:

Great boutique hotel in the middle of Tuscany. Wonderful views. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We really loved the complimentary wine tasting at their nearby winery! We only wish their rooftop deck would’ve been open for even better views. The hotel and winery are family owned and it’s very clear that they value every guest!

Gorgeous room and amazing wine tasting experience!!
Pros:

We were over in Italy for our 40th anniversary with dear friends and stayed with you for one night. We wish it could have been longer! What beautiful accommodations! The room we stayed in was gorgeous and spotless. Elio was a most gracious host, and he even upgraded our room from the one we had reserved. We also loved our wine tasting with Pietrino. What a fun evening of delicious wines, olive oil and balsamic vinegar! We can't wait to go back!

Avoid this place
Pros:

Worst experience on our two week vacation to Italy.
No services, no help, the one front desk person leave at 4:00 and you are on your own. The winery which ran the hotel was supposed pick us up at 6:00 for dinner. They forgot we called the winery to remind them but had no cell service. We were trapped in an empty hotel with no way to get dinner.Finally called the emergency line for our travel agent at 2:00 am. their time. They ended up calling the winery to remind them to pick us up for dinner. The next morning we talked to the desk clerk when he opened and told him what happened. His answer was “I just work here” The situation was so bad we checked out 2 nights early on a 3 night prepay. Rather lose money than stay at this dump. Avoid this place

Beautiful wine country hotel
Pros:

We visited Torciano Hotel in October 2024. Although a little tricky to get there if you do not speak any Italian, we pushed through the challenges and arrived early evening. The room we had was very nice, and the view from the back of the hotel was amazing. Beautiful rolling hills with fields full of grape vines. We also had an awesome dinner at their winery, Tenuta Torciano. The service in both the winery and hotel was fantastic. They even have bottle of their wine that you can purchase through their honor bar. We would love to go back and spend more time enjoying the winery, the hotel, the views, and exploring the small town.

Confused
Pros:

This is a tough one…nice place. Rome was fine all clean and staff really nice. I have been traveling through Italy for 3 months using airborne and booking.com and this hotel is not being honest. Websit says 3 kilometers from San Gimignano. It’s at least 5 if not 6. There is absolutely nothing near this hotel. The website seems to ply that the winery is attached at it all part of the stay experience which is what I was looking for. Alert you will need to walk 15 minutes to the winery and if it at night have fun walking back in the dark. There is nothing solicit on the website to describe this place. I thin that there are a lot of tourists who accept this as normal. The winery experience is a very touristy experience that is NOT TYPICAL OF ALL OF TUSCANY. Again…hotel is clean friendly and nice. But it’s not a winery experience and you need a car!

Pros:

We had a great stay in this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They own a winery down the street and sent us there for a complimentary tasting. The winery is run by the family and they were very fun and informative.
The hotel breakfast was very nice. Their baked goods were fresh and delicious. They could refresh their eggs, as I did receive a rotten one and the coffee always tasted burnt which may just need a cleaning on the coffee maker. The rooms were small but decorated nicely and very clean. The location was a short drive to San Gimignano, which had nice restaurants and shopping. I do believe they were under construction because I had workers on the roof outside of the bedroom window. Could use some better drapes for the privacy. Overall it was a very nice stay.

Dreaming of our stay, Living a nightmare
Pros:

Many months ago I booked our stay at the Hotel Torciano for three nights in the northern portion of our trip to Tuscany. It seemed perfect. We’re not interested in city stays, so we planned on saying outside the cities. The reviews were strong, with only one negative experience noted due to some water problem.
As we were getting in our car for San Gimignano I received a call from the hotel where I was informed that they had a water problem and had to move us (two couples) to another hotel. Of course they needed my permission to charge the remainder of our bill, so as to pay the other hotel. I’m not sure how that need for early payment became my problem. She sent an address and said a driver would meet us in front our hotel to take us to our wine tasting that evening.
This hotel is in the center of San Gimignano, which I accept might be nice for some, but not us. We are awakened by dogs barking in other guest’s rooms. There is cigarette smoke wafting up the stairs and down the hall. We now have daily parking fees for a parking lot outside of town.
As we waited for a driver, as instructed, he was quite late. It turns out he is not able to drive in the town so we had to find the right portal to meet him.
Awakened by dogs I decided to look up how much this hotel would have cost. Our price for Hotel Torciano was $213 per room per night. This hotel room costs $131 per night!
We asked the staff at the Torciano wine tasting and they indicated that the hotel was completely full. They were not aware of water issues. When pressed a bit we were met with blank stares.
Why not offer us a choice of agriturismo hotels outside of town, if indeed there is a water problem? Why do they need full payment when our “new” hotel is significantly less than what we paid? Then the dogs, smokers and parking.
If you are tempted to stay here, I recommend you think about how you will actually ensure that you do indeed stay there, and how you might control what were to happen to your trip if, say there was something like a water problem at the last minute. Yes, at this point I’m cynical. Sorry for that.

PS - I do need to add that while I have read mixed reviews on the Torciano wine tasting, ours was quite nice. We enjoyed the wines and were hosted by a wonderful, knowledgeable and fun hostess. Our time with her is worth a star, even if it is only associated with the hotel.

40th Anniversary trip
Pros:

This was our 3rd stay at Torciano Hotel and the first since renovations began! We are loving all the changes and cannot wait to come back to see them completed! The hotel is near the winery and Elio and the staff are fabulous! Breakfast every morning and cappuccinos🥰 included! Stocked wine fridge in case you want to sit outside and enjoy the sunset on the terrace 🍾

Tuscany as you'd always imagined
Pros:

What an amazing stay! Frim the minute Elio greeted us we knew we were in for a treat. The location was beautiful, and the hotel has 12 rooms, so it's very quiet and relaxed. The included breakfast is amazing, and Elio makes one mean Cappuccino! I always asked him to make me a second, they were that good! He also worked to help setup transportation to and from the winery and San Gimignano, both of which I highly recommend.

Tuscany experience as its best!
Pros:

Beautiful location, 4 nights we stayed here included with wine pairing dinner.
Breakfast was included, but I hope they will provide more protien selection for Breakfast. Cappuccino was excellent. The host was very nice and so accommodating, he suggested us couple of places to visit duri g our stay which turned out to be perfect, not much tourists in the area that we visited.

Lovely family and great vinyard down the road
Pros:

Fantastic hospitality and service. We booked a one night stay (very late as we were at the superb vineyard down the road and arrived after just 2 hours later) but this was no trouble. We were greeted first by the owner's lovely daughter and then the owner who made us feel welcome immediately. The room was basic but very clean and pretty. A nice touch to be able to buy beer, wine, snacks etc. out of hours from the large 'minibar' fridge in the hall ir local chianti in the room. The breakfast was very nice....the home made sponge cake was a highlight! I could eat that every day. Hope to go back one day. Thanks!
