01 · In a sentence

Relais Della Rovere in Colle di Val d'Elsa, open JuneNovember.

Relais Della Rovere sits on the rolling hills of Tuscany's Val d'Elsa, commanding views across vineyards and medieval villages from its elevated position in Colle di Val d'Elsa.

This 4-star hotel occupies a restored historic structure, offering stone terraces and cypress-lined grounds that frame the Tuscan landscape.

The venue provides intimate indoor spaces alongside outdoor ceremony areas with natural sightlines across 40+ kilometers of countryside.

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of October. You can definitely feel the lack of staff — if you want something from the bar, you have to call the waiter from the restaurant. There were only two guys working, doing everything. The heater in the room didn’t work, and the temperature stayed around 20°C. We asked for a portable heater to warm up the room, which they kindly provided. Still, when paying for a stay, I expect to be able to set the room temperature myself, not be limited to 20°C while it’s 12°C outside. Breakfast was quite basic — just eggs and sausages. If you like pastries, there are plenty, but not much for those who don’t eat sweets. It would be nice to have a bit more variety. On the bright side, the location is beautiful, there’s parking available, and the staff did their best to help us. However, the room only had two paper cups and no coffee machine or kettle — a small detail that makes a big difference. Overall, it’s a nice place with potential, but comfort and service could be improved.
