Lovely place in a very convenient setting. Our room, the food and the staff were all great. There were a few small things that would have made our stay perfect… (1) the rooms didn’t have some basic things like water glasses, coffee/tea etc, (2) there was nowhere to get a cup of coffee in between meal times (ie a coffee machine)…

This is a wonderful hotel for a stay in Tuscany. The rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Breakfast offers a great variety of options, making it a perfect start to the day. The location is also convenient—about 45 minutes to Florence, an hour to Pienza and Montepulciano, and roughly 25 minutes to Siena.
The only drawback is that the walls are quite thin, so noise from the neighboring room can be easily heard.

Gorgeous hotel with ample amounts of charm. The location is excellent for exploring Tuscany and Florence. It has every bit the look and feel of a five star hotel that costs hundreds of dollars more. That being said, it lacks the touches of a true luxury hotel. Bath amenities were scarce (no conditioner, bath wash, or wash cloths provided and the hair dryer was one you would find in a cheap motel) the lack of power outlets also made the room challenging. However, for the value you simply will not find a more authenticity Tuscan resort. I will happily return (a little better prepared) for our next Tuscan holiday.

This place is quite nice, however, we booked a junior suite with a bathtub in the picture. Upon arrival, there was no bathtub, however the bathroom was brand new and gorgeous. The place is clean and organized. However in our room our AC didn’t properly function. In result we needed a way to cool the room and the front desk was kind enough to get us a fan. We paid a lot of money to stay in the junior suit. The AC has to work. The restaurant was amazing and breakfast was fantastic. They charged us an arm and a leg to do wash laundry. After staying 2 days in a room with no air conditioning, the least they could have done is given us the laundry service complementary. But nothing. Overall, friendly staff and kind people. This place was fine if it wasn’t for the damaged air conditioning.

The service and the setting were excellent. The breakfasts were very satisfying. The buildings are charming. It's helpful to have a car as the town is a 15 minute walk. Unfortunately, the bathrooms (we moved once) need a good deep-cleaning in the corners and lighting needs to be improved. We thoroughly enjoyed the Chianti Wine tour that they arranged and they were extremely helpful in requesting taxis for us.

This inn, located in a historic abbey, is the epitome of the beautiful and luxurious European vacation escape. The surroundings are graceful, calm, and cool (even in a heatwave). My family and I actually did stay there during the recent European heat wave, and the expansive pool, nestled in the trees and surrounded by comfy chaises, was a perfect antidote to the heat. The inn was large enough to provide space for privacy and contemplation.

The service was both gracious and efficient and the food, including a sumptuous buffet breakfast served in regal surroundings, was excellent.

Front desk very helpful when we wanted to book an evening of Opera very comfortable and cool.

One of our days was spent sitting by the pool side, which was extremely relaxing and the staff again, were extremely tentative making our whole holiday very pleasant and memorable.

The hotel delivered in every way, with wifi in the very spacious room, a pool in which to relax and lounge next to, and a restaurant in the ancient basement, Il Cardinale, featuring the best of local Tuscan cuisine.

Not a Tuscon hotel, a stop over at best

We booked this hotel before setting off on a trip round the Rivierra, Tuscany, and the southern lakes. It was one of the few bookings we made in advance based on its description and photos - it looked idilic. When we arrived (having just had 2 nights in a fabulous hotel in Radda in Chianti) we realised within minutes we had made a big mistake.

Quite simply:- 1. it is in a very built up location (in contrast to the pictures and arial photos suggesting it in the countryside). 2. its facilities are poor and run down, the swimming pool in particular, which again bares no resemblance to the photos, has grass sods growing out of the concrete flags around it and has all the appeal of a jacquzi in a back garden of a council house in Wolverhampton. 3. The town and its surroundings are industrial and ugly in comparison to the beauty of the country less than 20 miles away. 4. The rooms again unfortunately bare little resemblance to the photos and are fitted with low quality furnishings. 5. The staff were polite but completely unable to deal with our dissapointment and the manager wasn't available to speak with us.

We had booked 3 nights and left after the first night loosing our money but we felt it better to do that than stay somewhere that would spoil our trip.

Our advice to anyone traveling this region and looking for beautiful countryside and quality hotel locations is do your research and don't use this one.

Excellent in all respects

We stayed at the hotel for 8 nights and had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The interior/exterior of the hotel are as they appear in its website photos; an old abbey, set in spacious, tranquil gardens, on the edge of town. The hotel has a calm, peaceful atmosphere throughout. The swimming pool has a lovely setting in the gardens and was a welcome facility after the heat and bustle of Florence and Sienna. Our bedroom was one of those shown in the photos; very clean, with interesting features - beamed ceiling, small external staircase, and invitingly cool in the summer heat. Our son's bedroom also had attractive features. All the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The restaurant in the courtyard has a serene atmosphere. We ate there once; excellent food although we found it expensive. Across the road from the hotel is a restaurant/bar where the food is excellent; we had breakfast there and some evening meals. There is also a very useful and helpful supermarket hidden just around the corner. The location of the hotel couldn't be better, giving access by road or bus to Florence, Sienna, and the many hill top towns. As recommended by another reviewer, take the minor roads for spectacular views. The information centre in the main piazza is very helpful for bus times/tickets;these buses start at the bus terminal in town and then come up past the hotel where there is a stop. Buy your tickets at the information centre or pay when you get on; the latter is more expensive.

Waste of time and money

This hotel is not some Tuscan villa in the middle of nowhere but rather a hotel on a truck route less than 1/2 kilometer from an industrial park in the suburbs of a small town. It is surrounded by houses, shopping malls, etc and in NO WAY resembles the setting presented in its advertising or on this site. The hotel may have been beautiful but I would not know having been placed in the worst room in the hotel just off the main office and comletely isolated from any of the amenities. Our room had its own private ground floor patio that was simultaneously the entrance via a door to the cleaning staffs supplies and on a route a group of patrons had to traverse to get anywhere in the hotel from their rooms. My complaints were met with an Italian shoulder shrug. The worst hotel experience in a month's travelling throughout Italy staying in 4 and 3 star hotels (many of which were way above this so-called four star in quality and service). Do NOT stay here. Be for-warned.

We stayed at the Relais for 5 nights while we toured Tuscany. It is a beautiful hotel with a lot of history and character. The grounds are beautiful, the pool too.

We were able to upgrade our room to one with a spectacular view of Colle Val D'Elsa (because they had vacancies). The hotel is very charming and quaint. We had the breakfast only once. It was nice, but we preferred to eat on the road. Our room and bathroom were very large. The bedroom had plenty of storage. The bathroom had 2 vanities and was also very spacious. The linen was very nice. It was very clean. The hotel is well located if you want to visit the Chianti region and San Gimignano / Volterra / Sienna. The staff was very pleasant.

The building and surroundings are stunning, offering a peaceful and unique atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and beautifully maintained, perfectly matching the historic setting.

The food was absolutely delicious, with excellent local flavors and wonderful service throughout our stay.

A truly special place that we would happily visit again. Highly recommended!

Lidt dyrt for blandt andet opladning af el-bil (30 euro) samt drikkelse ved poolen.
Udover det, er det fantastisk sted. Pool-området er hyggeligt, restauranten er god og stedet har en magisk atmosfære.

A propriedade é muito bonita e o café da manhã delicioso. Muitos quartos tem boa quantidade de escada para acesso, o que não fica claro nas fotos oficiais. Além disso, a piscina possui um piso rústico que feriu os dedos de minha filha e outras crianças que estava lá.

Quietly located hotel with modern rooms and very good dinner option in the courtyard. Spacious pool to relax after long sightseeing days in the countryside.

Die Unterkunft selbst war schön, leider war das Personal nicht sehr freundlich und wirkte eher genervt bzw. gelangweilt. Die Frühstücksauswahl war definitiv vielseitig. Die Zimmer wurden nicht wirklich gereinigt. Die Bettwäsche wurde nicht gewechselt bei 3 Nächten, auch der Boden im Badezimmer wurde nicht gewischt. Es lagen viele Haare 3 Tage lang an der selben Stelle auf dem Boden. Echt schade, weil die Unterkunft schön ist.

Disappointed!

Very plain hotel. Nothing special for the price they charge. Feels like an old hospital. The rooms are dark without much light. It’s next to a road so do not expect beautiful countryside hotel. Pictures are very misleading.
