La Torre alle Tolfe In Siena

We rented the tower room, would highly recommend. It is a tower built in 800 that has been converted into a suite. It added to the experience of staying in Tuscany and allowed for amazing views from the roof top veranda. This is also located outside of town, but close enough to Sienna and other surrounding towns to give a nice balance between being close but not always in the middle of the city. Food in the restaurant was also great and the staff is very accommodating.

I feel disheartened to have to give a lower review, firstly, the staff are really wonderful from check-in and reception, the lovely Marel always eager to help and make my stay welcoming and enjoyable. Sydney, Emily and Virginia ran the historical, animal and olive oil tours which were super fun! I met the owner herself, thank you Mania for transforming a family home to a wonderful space. What makes me upset is the treatment I received at the ristorante. They treated me like a second class citizen just bc I was a solo traveler. God forbid im on a self-healing journey and dont drink wine, looking for some respite on the country side - they always seated me in the back corner and wouldnt let me just choose where I wanted to sit. One evening for dinner, which I made reservations for, they sat me inside, even though there were empty available tables outside. The waitor rolled his eyes at me and with a very exasperated expression acquiesced to give me a table outside after I insisted to sit outside bc its too hot inside. Way to make someone feel like such an inconvenience, unworthy and unloved. You’d think you work hard and want to treat yourself to a vacation but people can still be mean. I actually didnt even eat lunch or dinner on my last day here to avoid the same boring and rude treatment. Why would you pay over $1000 to stay here and receive this type of treatment. I dont think it’s excusable to say you had changes in staffing/issues, allowing me to sit at any empty table is pretty basic first come first serve hospitality. Also, its the same menu for lunch and dinner. (UPDATED*) This agriturismo has a lot of potential but there is much room for improvement like. My room was above the kitchen and there was clanking of dishware well after midnight, no wifi in room but no mesh on all windows in common area they open for breeze, I was attacked by mosquitos and so uncomfortable all over my face as they got into my room from the living room. They do some events - I was lucky to attend a cool oyster and wine event when I was there. I wish they had some activity every evening - whether is movie projection on the torre, live music or band, pizza night, dancing under the stars, they had globe lights strung but never turned on. They didnt offer cooking class while I was there an no subsitute or suggestion to go to Siena town to do something. They provided me with a yoga mat and the pool is very nice.

The location is fantastic. Lying by the pool at lunch and gazing out over the valley is idyllic. The rooms are functional. Luckily, we had air conditioning, otherwise it would have been unbearable. There's also an elevator 👍🏻 No Wi-Fi in the room (important for some) Breakfast is okay but could be more varied. The food in the restaurant is great but quite expensive, and there's only a small selection. If you're staying for a week, you'll have to drive somewhere to eat, which isn't a bad thing. Water from a vending machine costs €1 for a liter. They could also provide that.

We had a wonderful 3 night/4 day stay. The location is incredible- very scenic, quiet yet close enough to Siena to easily walk or drive into town. We did the cooking lesson and the wine tasting (not at the same time although we drank plenty of wine during the cooking lesson…). Both were exceptional. The staff was awesome. Highly recommend - especially if you enjoy wine and beautiful views.

Our stay was amazing, couldn’t be more beautiful. The place is gorgeous , peaceful, and includes amenities for all the family. Bernardo in the front office, was very welcoming and friendly. We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant. The breakfast was also really good and convenient. The rooms very spacious, cleaned and had beautiful views. We would definitely come back.

4 of us had lunch in the garden, a highly recommended location, spectacular views, absolute tranquility, very good food and kind and welcoming staff. I can't say anything about the rooms because we only stayed for lunch

The location, the wine and the restaurant are great. However, it is hot in August because there is no air conditioning in the rooms.

Ristorante posto in una bellissima struttura appena fuori dalla città. Sale ampie, tavoli ampi e curati nei dettagli. Servizio efficiente e con tempistiche in linea con il tipo di struttura. Il menù, come logico che sia, poggia essenzialmente su piatti tipici toscani. Buona scelta. Materie prime di ottima qualità. Prezzi medio-alti (vedi scontrino).

Review for Ristorante La Torre alle Tolfe I had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante La Torre alle Tolfe, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience. The location is enchanting: immersed in the quiet of the hills, just a few minutes from Siena, it offers a suggestive panorama that makes the meal even more enjoyable. The cuisine is excellent, with dishes prepared using high-quality local products. Each course was carefully prepared and full of flavor, reflecting the Tuscan tradition with a touch of authenticity that can be felt in every bite. The hospitality was impeccable. The staff is kind, welcoming and always attentive to every need, creating a relaxing and familiar atmosphere. If you are looking for a place to savor true Tuscan cuisine in a quiet and charming environment, La Torre alle Tolfe is definitely the perfect choice. I can't wait to return!
