Guest Reviews

• katerP8005IH (10/5): A warm welcome and extended stay in the Tuscan Hills near Siena - Greeted by the dedicated staff at Relais La Costa for what turned out to be a magical stay in a beautiful location. Just the right touch for us--classy and warm but not fussy. Moro, Roberta and Ariana run the front of the house and are 'give you the shirt off their back' kind of people if it makes your stay the best possible. All smooth locating the hotel and then returning there in evenings after a day in the different hill towns. Dinners were simple but delicious, with herbs grown right on the property. The outside pool and pool area (perched on a hill overlooking Siena) made for an excellent afternoon with picnic goodies from the market towns all around. Put your feet up and relax in this beautiful quaint spot.
• Benjamin (10/5): - Amazing spot with great views. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food onsite was great.
• markmW6648BE (10/5): A Tuscan Dream Come True at Relais La Costa Historical Residence - From the moment we arrived at Relais La Costa, we were completely enchanted. Hidden among the rolling hills between Monteriggioni and Siena, this beautifully restored medieval residence feels like stepping back in time — but with every modern comfort you could wish for. Our suite was spacious, spotless, and full of charm — stone walls, wooden beams, and breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. Waking up to birdsong and golden sunlight was pure magic. The pool area overlooks endless hills, and the spa was a perfect touch of indulgence after a day of exploring. The staff were extraordinary — genuinely kind, helpful, and attentive in every detail. They made us feel like family, offering wonderful tips for day trips and serving delicious local food. The on-site restaurant is a true highlight — every dish felt homemade with love, full of Tuscan flavor and authenticity. Yes, the residence is a little remote, and the winding road adds to the adventure — but that’s exactly what makes it so peaceful. You’re surrounded by silence, stars, and nature. Relais La Costa isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. Perfect for couples, food lovers, and anyone craving tranquility and beauty. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return.
• Bernardo (10/5): - Quarto muito espaçoso, funcionários atenciosos e ambiente muito bonito. O Café da manhã também é muito bom.
• Serge (10/5): - Perfect
• 920stus (10/5): Picture perfect - Beautiful location, excellent luxurious rooms, superb staff, and superior dining highlighted our stay at the resort.
• K8265MIkatarzynap (10/5): A magical place full of history – staying here feels like a journey back in time. Highly recommended! - Located along the picturesque Via Francigena, this historic residence instantly transports you back in time. The stone walls and timeless architecture create a truly unique atmosphere, where history and tranquility embrace you at every step. Spending a night here felt like living in a fairy tale – the room was charming, cozy, and full of character, while the surroundings radiated peace and authenticity. Dinner was a true celebration of Tuscan flavors – each dish was prepared with perfection and presented with such care that it turned the evening into a memorable experience. What makes this place truly special is not only its beauty and history but also the genuine hospitality that reflects the spirit of the past. Our stay here was magical and unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the essence of Tuscany in a truly historic setting.
• nancyn483 (10/5): A relaxing week in the Tuscan countryside! - Our family of four stayed at the residence for 7 nights. It absolutely lived up to our expectations - a beautiful property with lots of history. The focus of our trip was cycling, so it was the perfect spot for a home base with multiple cycling routes through the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We especially loved the challenging gravel climb to the residence to end our rides each day. The staff were wonderful, always pleasant and accommodating, the property was very clean and the grounds beautiful. The views from the property are breathtaking!
• marialV702SR (2/5): Worst experience ever They lie about what they offer, we had no water or electricity , its a scam - Worst experience ever in Italy !! This place is a liar ! I booked a luxury room I found a room without air conditioning, not staff! old furniture ,low quality food overrated
• KatarzynaR339 (2/5): Watch out! - In the middle of nowhere we were waiting for 20’ in front of the gate… Nobody to pick up the phone, open the gate etc. Thousends killer wasps around… Then - not working AC (28-29 C in the room) and no water. If you are looking for survival- highly recommended. Otherwise- avoid it. For the first time in my life, we decided to change the hotel. One night in this place is too much.
• tinabT3238KK (10/5): A dream stay in Tuscany - We had an unforgettable stay at Relais La Costa Dimora Storica. The atmosphere was magical with its historic charm, breathtaking views, and total tranquility. A special thanks to the waiter and the chef, who made every meal an experience and for looking after us with such care. This place is pure romance, highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, beauty, good food and authentic Tuscan hospitality. We will definitely be back!
• Yitzchak (10/5): - This property is a beautiful, picturesque castle nestled in the Tuscany hills. The staff were all incredible and the rooms and ambience exquisite. We will definitely be back.
• Thierry (4/5): Room was underwhelming compared to the ad - Airconditioning was not working and only present in one of the rooms. Fridge was broken. Bed was old and uncomfortable. For the price, the room was really underwhelming. All the additional services (restaurant, spa, etc.) were overpriced. Terrace with nice scenic view is presented as part of the room but is actually a common space.
• Scott (10/5): - Wonderful stay at an amazing place. Staff a wonderful, restaurant was unbelievable. Everything was top notch. A quiet 3 days was just what we needed.
• 949stuarta (10/5): Incredible place with breathtaking views! - Incredible building in a superb location. Food was absolutely outstanding, and the spa was something special! We had the tasting dinner which was divine. Brilliant hosts too who warmly welcomed us at the front of the main building. Amazing place with breathtaking views!
• Samantha (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing stay! - This place is wonderful, relaxing, and the staff was very helpful! It is a delightful stop on your tour through tuscany!
• isabellagracegruber0 (8/5): Beautiful stay - I recently stayed at this beautiful Tuscan hotel, and it was truly a memorable experience. Nestled peacefully in the forest on a hill, the hotel offers stunning views and a very calming atmosphere that makes it a perfect retreat. The property itself is well-maintained and charming, blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The pool area was especially enjoyable, providing a perfect space to relax and unwind. The location of the hotel is excellent—peaceful and remote, yet still within easy reach of historical landmarks and cultural sites. It’s also conveniently close to the town of Siena, which was the highlight of our stay. We absolutely loved exploring Siena with its rich history, beautiful architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. However, there were a few aspects that could be improved. We experienced an issue with no hot water, which we reported to reception. While they assured us someone would come to fix it while we were out, the problem was not resolved during our stay. Fortunately, the weather was warm, so it wasn’t a major inconvenience, but it could have been problematic if it had been colder. One area that particularly stood out for needing improvement was the lunch menu. Prices were well above average for the area, and having eaten out for every meal during our stay, we had a good sense of local pricing and offerings. If the hotel is going to charge significantly more than nearby restaurants, there should be a noticeable step up in quality and creativity. As it stands, the lunch options felt underwhelming for the premium price point. Additionally, the road up to the hotel is all dirt, which made it quite tricky to ascend in our small city car. Drivers should be prepared for the bumpy approach.
• Marie (10/5): Fantastic hotel with excellent food & wine - Amazing hotel, with a fantastic food & wine experience and the service was 10/10 for both dinner and breakfast. And the view from the pool is amazing. The premises are very beautiful, extremely clean and the standard is overall very high, we will definitely come back.
• Loïc (10/5): Un bel endroit - le calme parfait - Demeure superbement restauré, au calme en pleine nature. Le temps nous a manqué pour une journée farniente au bord de la piscine (la météo n'était pas franchement au rendez vous non plus). Très bel hébergement
• RobinB3797 (10/5): Gorgeous Country Home - Beautiful old estate out in the sticks, a 20 minute drive to Siena, not ten as some will say. There is about a kilometer of gravel road as you near the house, but otherwise the roads back to town are very good. There is also a nice supermarket as you come into the outskirts of Siena. The hotel setting is just gorgeous. The pic of the little seating area with the hillside in front of you is a place where you could just sit all day and sip your wine or coffee while enjoying the view. The pool is up the hill so it has the best views of Siena and the hillside. The breakfast was minimal, but the cappuccinos were excellent. We eat dinner early, so we did not have dinner there, but it looked and smelled great when we walked by the dining area. The chef was very helpful in getting us more firewood one night, even though that was not his job. Yes, we had a fireplace in our unit and we lit it all three nights we were there. We sat on the couch in front of the fire and read and watched TV, very cozy. I do have one complaint about the TV... It was all in Italian, even the American movies. lol. The bed was comfortable. I read some complaints about the WiFi. It worked fine for us. The spa looked great. There was a giant hot tub and a massage area. The price to use the spa was 150 euros for 2 hours. Sadly, I am a bit of a cheap ba$+@rd, so we did not try it out. My wife and I agreed that this was the favorite place we stayed on our two week trip. Would absolutely stay there again.
• Michael (10/5): - Beautiful property! Great service
• Gary (10/5): - This is the most amazing, tranquil, romantic property. To think that he bought it and renovated the whole place. The views are breathtaking. For sure have dinner at the property's restaurant. Fixed menu but all the vegetables and herbs are right out of his garden.
• Carla (10/5): - Very remote and beautiful property. Perfect for a relaxing weekend away!
• keith (10/5): - Veronica’s apartment was perfect for us this last week in Rome. There is plenty of space, good AC (which is necessary this time of year), and everything else the three of us needed. It would be great for two couples or a family of 4. Veronica was responsive and we were met at a convenient time for us with a smile, a bowl of fresh fruit and many recommendations on dining and the area. The location was very good for us, which is close to Spanish Steps and Borghese Gardens, with Trevi, Pantheon and other sites a short walk away. Plenty of dining and shopping are available in the neighborhood which was quiet and pleasant. We would stay here again.
• johnbJ1673GB (8/5): A beautiful place in the heart of Tuscany - This is a beautiful place with stunning views, great accommodation and facilities. The staff are friendly and helpful and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The only negative to this gorgeous part of Tuscany is the approach which is a narrow steep dirt track which requires a confident attitude to driving.
• abarro (8/5): Excellent stay at the Relais La Costa Dimore Storica - We had an excellent stay at the Relais La Costa Dimore Storica. We were there for 8 days and did day trips to the various towns in Tuscany. The manager, Margherita, was wonderful in ensuring all was well with our stay and provided daily road trip ideas. Stefano, our host and server throughout our stay, was an ambassador for the Relais. A true gentleman who tended to all the details and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The Relais itself is beautifully restored and well maintained. Our bedroom was large and spacious with a separate living room. The bathroom was small with limited space to put your toiletries and had a small shower. The cleaning staff were occasionally remiss in replacing the towels when we placed them on the ground and providing soap, but this was very minor and rectified when requested. They serve an excellent breakfast which we ate on the patio. The fixed tasting dinner menu was very good as well. Small portions consisting of an appetizer, pasta dish, meat dish and dessert, however, some dishes became repetitive if you had dinner more than 3 nights in a row. I would highly recommend the Relais La Costa Dimore Storica. It is a very peaceful place to stay.
• Susan (2/5): - These people have no idea how to run a successful business. They took our booking, and confirmed it, then a better offer came by people booking directly outside of Hotels.com, and binned us. Absolutely atrocious customer service
• Zephyrpdk (10/5): A choice you won’t regret! - Elisa and her team were amazing, attending to the finest detail with-out fuss. Our stay was intimate and relaxed, just what we needed after touring some of the bigger destinations. The Hotel is an excellent location to experience what Tuscany has to offer, being a Tuscan Villa restored to the highest standard yet still authentic. The food is incredible and the dinner degustation menu is a must. They catered to my gluten intolerance with-out fuss and the quality is amazing. This Hotel is an excellent choice!
• Kateryna_to (10/5): Charming hotel in a scenic location - Lovely historic boutique hotel with great views of Tuscany. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite which offered us plenty of space to relax and hangout. Each room is unique due to the nature of this historic building. Daly's breakfast selection is great and the staff is very friendly and supportive. They also offer a farm-to-table dinner which you are strongly recommended to make reservations for. The location is a bit remote but you can easily drive to quite a few nearby towns, including Siena.
• Ken (10/5): - This Villa was extraordinary and the # one thing that made it amazingly special was the kindness, graciousness, and warmth of all the team members, including, but not limited to Elissa, Francesca (5 star chef to us), Mattia, Masi, our lovely chambermaid, and the groundskeeper. A bonus was the owner and his partner visiting with us during our 4 course dinner one night, so gracious and lovely. There are not enough words to describe the uniqueness and simplicity of this property. It was truly serene, and everything I had ever imagined of what Tuscany would be like. Down to earth luxury. Bellisimo! We are so grateful to have experienced this.
• LollyGee22 (10/5): Peace and quiet in the Tuscan countryside - We had a great stay in this lovely, comfortable boutique hotel made up of beautifully restored old buildings with great views across the Tuscan countryside towards Siena. All members of staff looked after us well and they are obviously very passionate about what they do. The chef, Francesca's, tasting menus were a delight.
• L257RWjohnc (10/5): An Italian dream - From the moment we arrived at Relais La Costa we knew it was special. The warmth of the greeting from the Resident Manager Elisa and her staff made us feel welcomed and valued. The residence itself is a truly magnificent property with every detail catered for. Our luxury suite was beautifully furnished and you feel relaxed as soon as you walk through the door. Elisa even arranged bike hire for us to explore the countryside! - nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the food was incredible - we thanked Francesca the chef as I cannot recommend the 4 course tasting menu highly enough, it was truly special and Mattia is such a great dinner host with advice on the wine list and drinks menu and gave us some interesting facts on how Relais came to be a luxury hotel. A lovely breakfast sets you up for the day and the choice of the spa or the pool or exploring the nearby town of Monteriggioni means you can soak up the Tuscan warmth! - the views from the top of the property are outstanding, you could spend hours just relaxing and listening to the sound of nature, very calming. We cannot thank Elisa and her team enough, we take away memories that will last us a lifetime but we intend to return as once you stay there you will definitely want to return one day. A true Italian gem!
• Anna (10/5): Skønt, roligt hotel i smukke omgivelser - Super dejligt hotel. Smukke gamle bygninger, dejlig have, meget roligt med få værelser og rigtig dejligt, at der ikke er børn på hotellet. Maden smagte dejligt. Eneste lille minus er de forholdsvis høje priser på minibar og frokostserveringer samt betaling for æg og juice til morgenmad - på mange lignende steder i samme prisklasse er det medregnet i værelsesprisen. Klar anbefaling til et par dages total ro i Toscana!
• M00dyman (10/5): Relax, Chill and eat great food. - My Better half booked us 3 nights at the Relais la Costa at the end of our break in Northern Italy. We have fallen in Love with Italy and in my case particularly the Dolomites, so I was a little disappointed to be heading 3-4 hours South to Tuscany as I loved Lake Garda. However, I always keep an open mind so off we went. We had read a review saying rely on Google Maps to find the place and that was great advice. It is in the middle of no-where up a long gravel road but we found it easy thanks Google. Lake Garda was a bit of an action Holiday, with Paragliding and MTBing being 2 of the many things we did so arriving at the Hotel and meeting Eilisa I felt my whole life slowing down. She like everything at the place is just calming and relaxing, and we had intended to explore a lot but to be honest the first day we just relaxed by the pool & slept loads.... Whilst relaxing you wit then meet Francisca the head chef who will pop by for a chat as she is collecting herbs and fruit from the gardens preparing the evening meal. Along the way she taught me to make Pici Pasta which I have already made twice since getting home with Cacio e pepe sauce. Hope I am doing OK with spelling names and Foods? The food was amazing although Teri struggled with all 4 courses but me being a kind guy was happy to help her finish! Anyway, cut a long story short it was lovely we did go to Siena and travel around the area on one of the days but to be honest I could not wait to get back to the hotel as it was so relaxing and in my normal life I hardly ever seem to be able to relax so it was heaven. We will go back again, I am sure.
• 558andyk (10/5): Iconic Tuscany - A peaceful and enveloping environment in a sublime location. The hotel is reached by ascending a winding road through rolling hills and cypress groves. We arrived at dusk and the stone walls of the ancient convent were pink gold. The rooms are large, comfortable and very well appointed. The amenities were top shelf and the soaps and lotions were, of course, olive oil based. A bountiful breakfast is served on the hillside courtyard. The selections include Tuscan specialties, great cheeses and pastries. All breakfasts were individually prepared and served by the cook herself. Finally there is a grey pool at the top of the terraced hill( where many of the vegetables and fruits served at breakfast are grown) is a pool with an unimpeded view of the hills, vineyards, valleys and woods all the way to Siena.
• Tyke70 (10/5): A truly wonderful hotel - What a first class hotel. From our welcome by Eilsa to the wonderful meals produce by Francisca we had a wonderful stay. the renovation by the owner are amazing from a ruin he has produced a hotel of amazing quality. But the key is the staff. There are only 8 rooms so a small staff and you become one of the family if you make the effort. Francisca and Julia who run the restaurant are fist class. The menu could be classed as limited as it is a 4 course tasting menu every evening, you can choose just to have a combination of the courses. We had the tasting menu every evening and Francisca's cooking is first class, good traditional Tuscany dishes. She will make adjustments if you give her notice but it is not the norm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay just be aware the hotel is a little bit off the beaten track and about 30 mins from Siena but well worth the drive.
• Kristy (10/5): - It's hard to know where to begin to describe the magic of this place... the scenery, the history, the private spa, the heritage building, the in room jacuzzi.. its spectacular. But the real attraction of Relais La Costa is the chef Francesca. She is the lifeblood of the property and an absolute gem. She took us on an unforgettable culinary journey, for breakfast and dinner.. together with Diana her assistant they bring a warmth and hospitality to the place that few other places could come close to matching. We came for the property but would return for the food and warmth of its people. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful, unforgettable experience.
• roberta (8/5): - Struttura molto bella Camere spaziose ben curate e pulite Colazione buonissima Piscina con vista incantevole peccato la presenza di tafani
• Shelby (10/5): 900 year old gem! - What an amazing find...we stayed one night as we were working our way through Tuscany and the only disappointment was that we didn't stay longer. Rosaria and the team were welcoming and friendly, sharing their recommendations, and providing us with 5-star service. We enjoyed a refreshing time at the pool, taking in beautiful views of the valley and castles across the way, before we enjoyed the 4 course dinner, which they kindly provided vegetarian alternatives for two of us. It was truly superb and I can't wait for the opportunity to return!
• Vitaliy (10/5): - What a wonderful place!!! This was a last-minute reservation for us as we were going to a wedding nearby and didn't want to drive back to Florence. Amazing find. The gentlemen who greeted us was very nice and welcoming! We stayed for a very short time but enjoyed every minute!
• Gints (10/5): Gints V - Perfect place to stay in Tuscany, next to Siena. Very friendly and personal reception, good refreshing pool, nice dinner with special guest coming from forest :)
• Adrian (10/5): Beautiful hotel in the middle of Tuscany - Beautiful hotel in the middle of Tuscany, great for relaxing. Dinner was very good. Cleanliness has room of improvement.
• serena (10/5): Relax - Relax assicurato in una location a dir poco splendida. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Camera ampia e completa di comfort. Spa e piscina fruibili pulite e funzionali. Colazione ottima. Cena, piatti semplici ma gustosi.. A poca distanza da Monteriggioni da visitare assolutamente. Lo consiglio vivamente
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Location meravigliosa, tutta nuova. Camere spaziose, di design e molto pulite. Da sogno
• Mark (10/5): - Posto bellissimo, servizio ottimo. Location nuova e con ogni servizio. L abbiamo visitata in novembre quindi non abbiamo potuto godere al 100% delle location e ci siamo trovati benissimo.
• Paul (10/5): A great view of castles in the distance - The hotel was amazing and we had a great dinner there on one of the nights. It is a bit out of town so helpful if you have your own car or dont mind lounging around, relaxing or having a swim. The staff are very nice and even helped us out with the bikes they have on site (free to use). A pity we were so unfit that we had to walk half of the hills. The view from the terrace is of a couple of castles in the distance, not bad at all.
• Jochen (8/5): Einfach schön! - Ein einsam gelegenes Hotel mit allem Comfort zur Entspannung ideal!
• Ryan (10/5): Beautiful cosy stay. Warm and welcoming staff. - Before arriving we were given clear and concise directions by text, which helped a lot. We had a warm and friendly greeting upon arrival. The staff were great throughout and we had 2 nice dinners there. Breakfast also had a good selection. The buildings and rooms are fantastic, clean and spacious, keeping the design of the ruin stones inside and outside too. Pool was nice and good sunbeds. The only annoyance was the flies, however I don’t think the hotel can do anything about that as they seem to be everywhere in wine country. Overall we highly recommend this hotel and would stay again.
• Nino (10/5): Real Paradise! - Amazing place to stay! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and cozy two bedroom apartment! Super friendly and helpful staff, starting from Manager to servant. Super delicious food and wine! Such a quiet and peaceful place. Amazing view from our window over hills and nature! La Costa was highlight of our trip defenetly and wish to come back there soon!
• Andrea (8/5): Nice and remote, but no AC - Relais la Costa is a lovely place 15min away from Siena. The isolated location with the very nice pool makes it the ideal destination for a weekend of complete relaxation. The silence and peace as well as the view of Chianti are worth the drive. Management and staff are very friendly. The main drawback is that the place does not have air conditioning: During the hot summer months, I would stay in another resort for the same price. The manager did try to compensate for it with a small discount, but the lack of AC made sleeping impossible (our young kids suffered the most). Also, the dinner prepared on site is not worth the 40 euro they charge: You can eat the same food (or better), in a nearby restaurant or in Siena for cheaper prices...and without the hair we found in 3(!) dishes. Bottom line: Highly recommended in Spring/Fall, not during (hot) summer days because of lack of AC.
• Matteo (10/5): Un soggiorno tranquillo e rilassante - Un posto incantevole, ospiti cordiali e che non lasciano nulla al caso pur di metterti a tuo agio. Un particolare apprezzamento alla cucina di Marta e Marco, molto attenti e disponibili.
• Jean (10/5): Un havre de paix entre Sienne et San Gimignano - Hotel situé sur une colline au calme, une belle vue sur la vallée de Sienne. Eglantina est une hôtesse avenante et serviable. L’hôtel ressemble a un petit hameau d'autrefois avec des logements très spacieux (65 m2 avec une kitchenette et deux chambres) et une terrasse très agréable. La piscine au sel est un peu plus haut avec une vue dégagée très sympa avec des bains de soleil. La cuisinière est un cordon bleu et les repas toscans sont copieux et de qualité. Tout est fait maison et c'est très bon. Piste de trail très agréable en partant tôt le matin au dessus de l'hotel. Le soir on a vu deux chevreuils à 50 mètres de l’hôtel. Je vous recommande cet établissement.
• Corinna (8/5): Charmed - This is a beautiful place with character and charm. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. Our family of four enjoyed two nights here in July. The pool provided us a refreshing dip and a time to relax after a lot of running around. The one thing to note is that there is no air con and the fan provided runs very loudly. Also, this place is a good 15 minute drive away from town - very much off the track. But that also meant it was lovely and quiet. Overall, we were charmed.
• Sara (8/5): Bellissima dimora storica - È un posto davvero molto suggestivo, in mezzo alla natura e gode di un panorama fantastico!!! Camera e dimora veramente meravigliose, per non parlare del personale!!! La ragazza che ci ha accolto alla sera per il check-in e che ci ha fatto il check-out la mattina seguente è davvero gentilissima!!! Noi abbiamo dormito in una sorta di appartamento, attrezzato di ogni comfort... Camera da letto molto spaziosa, un bagno nuovissimo e grande, un salotto comprensivo di tavolo e sedie e di un divano per vedere la TV e una cucina attrezzata di qualsiasi cosa. Usciti dall'appartamento, ci si trova su una terrazza dove è possibile godere di un panorama meraviglioso!!! È davvero un bellissimo posto!!! Davvero complimenti!!!
• Alan (10/5): Fantastico - Tutto molto bello , bravi !!
• Jon (10/5): Loved it! - We booked this hotel last minute and wow what a great surprise this was. The staff was the friendliest we've ever seen and the hotel is absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking to relax in a quiet and beautiful setting, and have 4 course meals cooked and served on site (for an extra cost), and lay by an amazing hilltop pool, this is all that and more. It was a perfect stop for us because we wanted all those things. It's about a 20 minute drive to town, and it's a beautiful drive! We can't recommend this enough, and we hope to be back some day.
• Helen (10/5): A little piece of paradise - My husband and I have just returned from 3 nights at Relais La Costa to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was also our first child-free holiday in 6 years. From the moment we were met by Englatina, I knew we had made the right decision about where to stay. She was as friendly and welcoming as the place itself. We relaxed immediately in the beautiful surroundings and had the most incredible room. The wonderful chef, Anglelica, was truly talented and clearly cared that you enjoyed the food. We ate two incredible meals here, one on my birthday. We couldn't praise the staff highly enough, as they were all so kind and welcoming. What a wonderful, wonderful place. I will always remember the special few days we spent with you and hope that before long we will return. Thank you so much for going out of your way to make my 40th birthday ( which I was slightly dreading) truly wonderful.
• Alison (10/5): Fabulous location in the hills above Siena - A fabulous renovated property overlooking Siena. The views were amazing, the property beautiful, the rooms immaculate. It is difficult to say what made our stay so wonderful - the views, the property, the location? All were fabulous but on top of all this was a small team of amazing staff. All were extremely welcoming, with nothing being too much trouble. And then there was the food - absolutely fantastic - from breakfast through to lunch through to dinner - truly delicious, exceptional tastes of Italy. Thank you to everyone at La Costa for a wonderful week.
• dennis (8/5): Country classic living - Three nights at the hotel....isolated a bit from Siena, but only a 10 minute drive back into town when needed. The dinners were typical Tuscan fare that was very well done by the kitchen, good enough in fact that we ate there vs. finding places in town. Recognize that this place is up a gravel road a couple of miles off a secondary road...could be a little hard to remember or get to late at night.
• Heidis (10/5): Excellent ! the best in Tuscany - Thanks for the hospitality ! I can never forget the passion of the staffs there as well as the view from the resort. On top of the that, the resort is very convenience for tourist attractions, such as San Giminignano, Siena and factory outlet. Don't miss the dinner there, they provide real Tuscany cuisine made with local agricultural products. All in all, the resort is a 'MUST' if you visit Tuscany!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Schönes Hotel mit viel Charme und Herzlichkeit - Sehr herzlich empfangen, etwa 10km von Siena, aber abgeschieden, ganz ruhig, herrlich. Schönes, grosses Zimmer, zusätzlich eine Küche und Sofa. Privater Eingang. Alles sauber und schön eingerichtet. Wir assen 2x vor Ort. War köstlich in einer sehr familiären Ambiance. Richtige italische Küche. Waren nicht das letzte Mal hier, immer wieder gerne.
• Jason (10/5): Relaxing Aprtment near Sienna - What a lovely place. The apartment was perfect with lots of room, easily able to keep the kids apart! Lovely pool to relax in and the evening meals were fantastic - why travel away when they are this good and you can enjoy the wine and not worry about driving.
• Peter (10/5): Eine Oase im Nirgendwo der Toskana. - Der perfekte Ort um die Einzigartigkeit der Landschaft der Toskana nicht nur in einem super Ambiente und in Ruhe zu genießen, sondern von hier aus die wichtigen Orte zu erkunden. Der Service und die Freundlichkeit des Personals lassen die Frage aufkommen:" was machen wir hier zuhause, warum sind wir nicht dort!"
• Kathryn (10/5): Love it! Love it! Love it! - This has got to be one of the best hotels in this part of Italy. It's new but it has old Italy flavor. It was once a house dating back 1,000 years. They built the hotel around the original rock walls of the old house. Everything including the faucets are high quality ... Even the towels are decorated. The apartment has a full kitchen. The unit has beautiful antique pieces of furniture. What a wonderful setting...the pool area is beautiful. The staff is wonderful, helpful and efficient. We WILLL return and hopefully much longer than one night. Come before the prices increase due to its popularity. (Yes, you definitely a car but it's not that far out of the way)
• Jérôme (10/5): PARFAIT - Très bel endroit, en dehors des sentiers battus, Pise à 10 minutes, Lucca (magnifique ville et bien plus reposante que Pise) 20 minutes en voiture. Les hôtes sont très agréables, le pdj est soigné, le restaurant dans la montagne pour ceux qui aiment l'authenticité est incontournable
• Nick (10/5): Great place to stay - First of all, this place is very charming An old building in the middle of wild nature Also suitable for couples and families with children Large rooms, comfortable and innovative It is possible to cook, everything has Location of the hotel (you can not call this place a hotel, rather fortress) convenient for trips in Tuscany and Umbria We arrived to the island of Elba Staff is very friendly and professional - Help us All Maybe it's not cheap but worth every dollar Prepare for a lot of steps up
• Michael (10/5): Wow - We wanted a place to chill out a bit in the middle of our tour of northern Italy. This really fit the bill. Make sure you book the dinner and spa for the full effect. The meal is "home cooked". Wonderful people! Thanks!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Helemaal af, schitterende plek. - Mooi appartemement, helemaal af, in November is het wel rustig Maar dat vonden wij niet erg. Erg vriendelijk personeel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Non ho soggiornato personalemente, ci ho mandato una mia cliente, è stata benissimo, hotel eccezionale, personale molto gentile e didponibile, unica cosa che mi ha riferito è che il centro benessere è a pagamento, anche solo per l'ingresso si pagano 20 euro per 3 ore. quindi magari un pochino caro, per il resto tutto ottimo!
• Pascale (10/5): Un rêve dans un écrin magnifique de nature - Le relais la Costa est une magnifique demeure, élégante, accueillante et chargée d'histoire qui se dresse au milieu d'une nature d'une incroyable beauté. Nous avons été accueillis comme des amis avec beaucoup de chaleur et d'attentions. Notre appartement était spacieux, fonctionnel, décoré avec beaucoup de goût , doté de deux salle-de-bain (dont l'une avec une vasque à remous) ce qui permettait une grande autonomie étant accompagnés de nos enfants. Les repas et petits déjeuner de Madame Angélica étaient délicieux et la cuisine toscane sans cesse renouveler. la demeure la Costa est idéalement située pour visiter les villes de Siena, Volterra, Sangimignano, Montalcino, Pienza.
• Stuart (10/5): Quality not quantity - Great facility iin a superb location on the hilltops between Monterigioni and Siena. Newly completed with high standards of fittings. Spa facilities better than places double its size. Staff very attentive at all times.
• Cormac (10/5): Beautiful hotel in Romantic Tuscany - Me and my girlfriend stayed here when we were on a road trip through Italy. We booked the hotel for 2 nights and I have never been as disappointed and depressed as I was when we had to leave. We even tried to cancel the hotel we were staying in the following night just so we could have one more day there! First off you must have a car to get there. Give yourself plenty of time to find the place and check the roadsigns instead of your gps. I've seen some people putting this down as a negative but I loved the drive up to it! Once we arrived we were met by the manager who checked us in and gave us a brief history of the hotel and area. He then led us to our apartment which was absolutely beautiful. The apartments have kitchens so you can definitely make your own breakfast or dinner. We opted to have dinner in their small restaurant on the first night. I've never been as full in all my life! The food was amazing, cooked especially for us and two other people by Angelica, an amazing woman who is the house chef and basically the mother of the whole place! Other highlights include the swimming pool which had an unobstructed view of the tuscany landscape, the surrounding area which is full if castles and strongholds and the peacefulness of the place, so quiet and beautiful! If you're thinking of visiting Tuscany, book this hotel. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. We're already planning to return next year for at least 5 days!
• Hank C (10/5): Great Hotel - This is a brand new hotel. The building itself was an old stone house, the entire house was renovated without losing its old self. The staff are great and very friendly and helpful. We went during the peak summer heat, the only downside is the lack of air conditioning, the first night was a bit tough for us to sleep. However, the manager arranged a fan for us and that solved the problem for our second evening. Unlike many hotels in the suburb, it's clean and free of leaves and dirt, very well maintain. Overall, this is a great 5 star experience, very relax and the staff are great!
• Family of Four (8/5): Worth it if you can find it - A lovely hilltop hotel with sweeping views of the countryside. Our two-bedroomed apartment was spacious, well furnished and had a fully-equipped kitchen. The staff were friendly, and our family of four was well looked after. The property, though slightly off the beaten track, was within reasonable driving distance to many of the sights. Our only comment would be that clearer directions are provided to guests as it was probably down to sheer luck that we got there in the first place. Having said that, once there, the sunny landscape unfolded before our eyes, and we were instantly won over.
