13 Best Tuscan Hotels for Food and Wine (2025)

Tuscany has a way of pulling you in—those sun-drenched hills, picture-perfect towns, and the smell of something delicious always drifting through the air. But let’s be honest, a lot of us come here for the food and wine. Think lazy afternoons sipping Chianti with a view, big bowls of ribollita in cosy trattorias, and olive oils so good you’ll want to pack a suitcase full. If that sounds like your kind of trip, our pick of Tuscany’s best food and wine hotels is a great place to start.

The Best Vineyard Hotels in Tuscany

• Castello di Vicarello is one of the best luxury hotels in the Tuscan countryside, a seven room castle hotel with panoramic views over its own working vineyards. The decor is Italianate opulence: traditional and romantic, and there’s a top of the range spa and pool and a restaurant serving local sourced regional cuisine.
• Conti di San Bonifacio is a stunning, five room Tuscan farmhouse renovation set in the hills above its own wine estate. Expect four-poster beds, furniture throws, marble bathrooms, fireplaces and terraces, and an infinity pool with incredible views. And of course fantastic food and wine.

Hotels For Food, Wine and Views

• Montepulciano is a big name in Italian wine, and this gorgeously cobbled, Medieval hilltop town bats above its weight in the calibre of its restaurants too. Locanda di San Francesco is a great gourmet restaurant in the centre of town, with just four rustic chic rooms - all with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. Their wine tasting events are excellent too…
• Perched in the Tuscan hills, Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort is a food lover’s dream. Savour unforgettable dishes while gazing over cypresses and olive groves, then dive into hands-on cooking classes. Antique-filled rooms and panoramic views make every stay feel authentically Tuscan.
• Just outside Lucca, Tenuta San Pietro, is an intimate 16th-century farmhouse that celebrates Tuscan flavours in style. With vineyards and olive groves all around, it’s perfect for mastering regional recipes in expert-led classes. Restored rustic interiors and tranquil surroundings create a truly immersive gourmet escape.

For Food, Wine and Luxury

• Borgo San Pietro boasts regal rooms and suites with chandeliers, frescoes, marble fireplaces and silk upholstery, plus two exemplary restaurants (one has a Michelin star) where the focus is on farm-to-table, organic, zero kilometre cuisine. Oenophiles won't be disappointed either; the wine cellar holds some 1250 prestigious labels and intimate wine tastings can be organised.
• For a true slice of heaven book a stay at the Castello Banfi Il Borgo. Here you'll find a beautifully restored 13th century castle which now offers fourteen luxurious rooms and suites, plus fabulous restaurants (both fine dining and more relaxed) and all surrounded by its very own award winning wine estate.
• One of Tuscany’s finest hotels, Il Falconiere is all calm sophistication, elegance and superb service. Its Michelin-starred restaurant, where you can also take cooking classes or wine tastings, is set on a lovely romantic terrace with views over the surrounding countryside. The pool and spa are completely charming too.
• Villa Tolomei is an elegant, 14th century villa converted into a 31 room retreat, surrounded by gardens, olive groves, vineyards and an outdoor pool, yet just five minutes from the centre of Florence. The views over the city are peaceful, and the restaurant is wonderful.

For Food, Wine and Romance

• Villa di Piazzano was built by the Medici family as a hunting lodge, just outside of Cortona, and is now a magical, family-run hotel with 21 romantic rooms, a beautiful pool and Italianate gardens and a restaurant serving excellent Tuscan food and wine. They have an excellent cellar and run cooking classes too…
• La Bandita Townhouse in Pienza is a sophisticated, ten room townhouse with a modern Italian restaurant that people have been known to refer to as ‘divine’. The decor is minimalist: think exposed brickwork, whitewashed walls, angular four-poster beds and stand along baths.

For Great Value

• Relais Villa Baldelli is a striking country house hotel just outside Cortona. Its 15 rooms are traditionally decorated and quite romantic. And there’s a restaurant where they offer cooking classes and wine tastings, plus an enormous pool and lush gardens.
• In the heart of Renaissance Pienza, Il Chiostro di Pienza is a former monastery, overlooking the peaceful Orcia valley. Bedrooms are graceful and simple with tiled floors and raftered or arched ceilings. Dine in the cloisters and relax in the pool with those lovely views.
