Top 10 Resorts in Tuscany
Direct Answer
The best resorts in Tuscany for 2027 pair authentic medieval estates with serious modern hospitality: Borgo Santo Pietro near Siena leads as the best overall, while ADLER Spa Resort Thermae in Bagno Vignoni stands out as the best value for a thermal-spa escape.
The full ten below are all real, currently operating five-star properties, drawn from Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards, Tripadvisor reviews, Relais & Châteaux, Belmond, Rosewood, and each resort's official site. Expect nightly rates from roughly €380 at a Relais & Châteaux farm estate up to €2,000+ for a private-pool villa in Val d'Orcia high season, with most landing in the €500–€1,100 band.
Tuscany is not a beach destination — these are countryside estates, hilltop castles, and city palaces built around vineyards, thermal springs, Brunello di Montalcino, olive groves, and Michelin-level kitchens. We weighted award recognition, location, dining, spa depth, and value to rank the ten.
How We Ranked These
We scored each property on five factors. First, third-party recognition — Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice, MICHELIN Keys, Relais & Châteaux membership, Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice. Second, location and setting, favoring Val d'Orcia, Chianti, and Florence's historic core.
Third, dining, with extra credit for Michelin stars and on-site organic farms. Fourth, spa and wellness, weighting natural thermal water heavily. Fifth, value for the nightly rate, which is where mid-priced thermal and Relais properties outrank the marquee names.
1. Borgo Santo Pietro — 🏆 BEST OVERALL
Set on a 300-acre organic farm near Siena, Borgo Santo Pietro is the property that consistently tops Tuscany lists and placed in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards 2025 (ranked among the top hotels in Italy and Europe). It also holds Three MICHELIN Keys 2025 and a spot in Tatler's 101 Best Hotels in the World.
The restored 13th-century villa anchors 13 acres of manicured gardens, vineyards, a holistic spa, and a cooking school. The kitchen is supplied directly by the estate's farm, dairy, and apiary, and the resort even runs its own Saturnia-style wellness program alongside its yacht and skincare brands.
Rooms and suites are individually designed with antiques and frescoes; nightly rates typically run €900–€1,800 depending on season and suite. For travelers who want a single estate that delivers on food, spa, gardens, and provenance without leaving the grounds, this is the standout.
2. Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
A 5,000-acre estate in the Val d'Orcia UNESCO landscape, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is one of the most exclusive addresses in Tuscany. The 42 suites and 11 private villas were carved from an original village hamlet, each villa with its own private pool, plus two heated common infinity pools.
The estate is home to the first and only private golf club in Italy, a Tom Weiskopf-designed course, and a working Brunello di Montalcino winery. Dining spans a Michelin-recognized restaurant and a more rustic osteria, and the spa draws on local botanicals.
Suites start around €1,200 in shoulder season; the standalone villas climb well past €5,000 per night for groups. This is the choice for travelers who want villa privacy, golf, and winemaking on one immense property.
3. Belmond Castello di Casole
Commanding a hilltop near Siena, Belmond Castello di Casole sits on an estate dating back roughly a thousand years, polished by Belmond into a refined countryside hotel. The views over the Tuscan hills are among the best in the region, and the property blends Old World architecture with contemporary suites.
Guests get a spa, infinity pool, vineyard tastings, truffle hunts, and cooking classes, plus access to thousands of acres of private grounds for cycling and horseback riding. The dining leans into seasonal Tuscan produce paired with the estate's own wines.
Nightly rates generally sit in the €800–€1,500 range. It earns its spot for travelers who want castle grandeur and Belmond service without sacrificing modern comfort.
4. COMO Castello del Nero
A converted 12th-century castle in the heart of Chianti, COMO Castello del Nero balances stately history — original frescoes and stone — with COMO's signature wellness focus. The COMO Shambhala Spa is a major draw, and the Michelin-starred La Torre restaurant anchors the dining.
The estate spreads across 740 acres of vineyards and olive groves, with a large outdoor pool overlooking the valley. Rooms mix antique character with crisp contemporary design.
Expect €700–€1,300 per night. Choose it for Chianti wine country, a serious spa, and a Michelin-starred kitchen in one castle.
5. Il Borro Relais & Châteaux
Owned by the Ferragamo family and a member of Relais & Châteaux, Il Borro is a restored medieval village near Arezzo set among organic vineyards. Accommodation ranges from suites in the manor to private villas within the hamlet itself, giving it a lived-in, authentic feel.
The estate produces its own wine and olive oil, runs a spa, and offers cellar tours, falconry, and cooking experiences. The on-site dining showcases Tuscan classics alongside the estate's labels.
With nightly rates from about €380, Il Borro is one of the more attainable true luxury estates on this list — strong for travelers wanting Relais & Châteaux pedigree at a relatively gentle entry price.
6. Toscana Resort Castelfalfi
Spread over 2,700 acres of rolling hills between Florence and Pisa, Castelfalfi wraps a restored medieval village around two golf courses, infinity pools, vineyards, and several restaurants. It is frequently cited as the most affordable entry among Tuscany's large five-star resorts.
The resort suits families and active travelers, with golf, hiking, biking, cooking classes, and a spa, plus self-catering options in the borgo for longer stays. Tripadvisor reviewers consistently praise the space and value.
Rates run roughly €500 in low season to €1,200 in high season. Pick it for golf, family flexibility, and the most square footage per euro.
7. The St. Regis Florence
For travelers who want a city palace rather than a country estate, The St. Regis Florence occupies a Renaissance building on the Arno River, steps from the Ponte Vecchio. It pairs frescoed grandeur with St. Regis butler service and the Winter Garden by Caino restaurant.
Rooms blend Medici-era artistry with modern marble bathrooms; many overlook the river or the Duomo skyline. The spa and the bar make it a strong base for exploring Florence's museums and shopping.
Standard rooms run €600–€1,000, with suites climbing to €1,500–€5,900. It is the top pick for a luxury Florence city stay with five-star service.
8. ADLER Spa Resort Thermae — 💎 BEST VALUE
In Bagno Vignoni, ADLER Spa Resort Thermae is built directly over natural thermal springs in the heart of Val d'Orcia, making it the region's premier wellness all-inclusive. The rate bundles thermal pools, a full spa, guided hikes and bike tours, and dining, which is why it lands as our best value.
The indoor-outdoor thermal water circuit, saunas, and treatment menu are the core experience, set against postcard Tuscan hills. It is a half-board / full-board model, so the headline rate covers far more than a room.
All-in nightly pricing starts around €613, an unusually strong figure given how much is included. For a spa-first Tuscany trip with predictable costs, nothing here beats it on value.
9. Borgo San Felice
A Relais & Châteaux hamlet-hotel in the Chianti Classico zone near Siena, Borgo San Felice is a restored medieval village surrounded by its own vineyards. Stone houses hold rooms and suites, connected by lanes, a piazza, gardens, and a pool.
The estate produces Chianti Classico wine, and the Michelin-starred Poggio Rosso restaurant is a destination in its own right. A spa, wine tastings, and cycling round out the stay.
Nightly rates typically fall in the €500–€1,000 range. It is ideal for wine lovers who want a Relais & Châteaux village immersed in Chianti vineyards.
10. Castello di Velona Resort, Thermal Spa & Winery
An 11th-century fortress on a hilltop above Montalcino and the Val d'Orcia, Castello di Velona is the only castle in the area with its own thermal water, Brunello di Montalcino production, and organic olive oil. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, it has 45 rooms, two outdoor pools, and a full-service spa.
Many rooms feature log fires, marble bathrooms, and private patios, with some including in-room spa baths. The panoramic terrace restaurant pairs revisited Tuscan recipes with an extensive Brunello wine list.
Rates generally run €500–€1,100 per night. Choose it for thermal water, a working Brunello winery, and dramatic Val d'Orcia views in one historic castle.
