Guest Reviews
- Judith (10/5): -
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Ruoyan (10/5): Highly recommend - Unforgettable experience in Relais Sant' Elena. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine Italian hospitality.
The property itself is a beautifully restored farmhouse, surrounded by flowers. Our room had breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside.
The pool area is peaceful and well-maintained, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Siena or Florence (both about 1.5h drive).
If you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a serene escape into the heart of Tuscany, look no further.
- Aljana (10/5): Traumhaft! Alles perfekt! - Alles !! Essen 10/10 mit viel Liebe zum Detail.
- Mark (10/5): -
- Anna (10/5): -
- Wiebke (10/5): Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt - ein äußerst geschmackvolles Hotel mit einem tollen Team! - Wann und wo wird man als Gäste der Saison gewürdigt - und warum? Uns geschah selbiges hier, in diesem wundervollen Relais! Wir taten, was wir immer tun - die Mitarbeiter wahrnehmen, ihre Arbeit wertschätzen und höflich sein. Das war keine Mühe, sondern Freude über den ausgezeichneten Service! Besonderheit St.Elenas: In Sichtweite ein Turm auf dem Hügel mit einer kleinen Weinbar und traumhaften Blick in die Landschaft. 2 Whirlpool, gut geheizt runden das Ensemble als außergewöhnlich ab! Besonders toll der "Gesellschaftsraum" sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich! Danke an das tolle Team! Nichts!
- Barbara (10/5): Um conto de fadas! - Minhas expectativas para o hotel já eram altas e foram superadas!!!!! O hotel é perfeito, maravilhoso! Parece um conto de fadas

- Cesar (10/5): Everyone was so accommodating! And it was lovely. And romantic. So helpful! Pool was great! I would stay again! - Clean beautiful. Quiet. Elegant. Romantic. Any point of advice, heat up the Jacuzzi 1 hour before you want to use it.

- Alfonso Gerardo (8/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - The hotel is absolutely wonderful — very peaceful, pleasant, and extremely comfortable. The interior and design are beautiful, with great attention to detail.

I can’t wait to return!

Outstanding in All Aspects
A fabulous Treat The Beautiful Dinning Terrace and Restaurant with fantastic Staff and finishing touches
- Tom (10/5): A storybook setting! - Magical, something out of Tuscan painting!
Marvelous staff, delicious food and beautiful scenery. Nothing!!!!
- Valerio (10/5): AUTHENTICITY. I think it’s the best place where you can feel the peace of mind you was looking for a long time . Every p - AUTHENTICITY. I think it’s the best place where you can feel the peace of mind you was looking for a long time . Every person is very gentle. The vibes is the vibe of the most beautiful dream you have ever wished to live in Tuscany . Good food, good wine of course . The cure of details it’s what conquered the heart of my girlfriend . From the glasses to the napkins and … one BIG THING, there is a spray released during the day to protect guest from mosquitos . Quality , authenticity , detailes, romanticism, relax . It’s really the best place you can pick for the most unforgettable moment of your life .
- Xi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (10/5): - I can't recommend Sant'Elena enough! 10/10 food, exquisite views, clean and charming rooms, lovely staff, beautiful pool and bar area...the list goes on.
- Yousef (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edward (10/5): Beautiful place..we'll be back soon. - My favorite hotel in Bolgheri. Beautiful rooms and setting. Perfect for 3 nights and a cooking class with Stephanie. Nothing....
- Alex (10/5): - Incredible.. no other words to describe this property!
The food, the staff, the location.. nothing short of perfect!
- Mike (9/5): Superb -
- Andres (10/5): Exceptional -
- Walter (9/5): Superb -
- Lily (6/5): Pleasant - Some staffs are friendly and helpful. The view is nice. They don't have someone at the entrance to greet you and help with your luggage like other hotels. You need to carry your luggage to the check-in area by yourself. The front desk staff didn't seem very friendly/welcoming.- Thank you for your response. However, after reading it, I feel even more certain that your tone comes across as unfriendly. While some staff members were very friendly and helpful, such as the male employee who kindly drove us to the hill and another who greeted me, I have to admit that my experience with the front desk staff was not as positive. In particular, the front desk lady came across as indifferent.
I’m simply sharing my honest observation: when we arrived, there was no one at the gate to welcome us as is often the case at other hotels, nor was there a doorman to help with our luggage. We ended up carrying our bags into the check-in area ourselves. Perhaps we’ve become accustomed to the warm and welcoming service we've received at other hotels. I actually recommended your hotel to friends and even shared a positive post about it on my social media. Now, I feel quite embarrassed.
- Veronique (8/5): Tranquil. Relaxed.child free. - Incredibile location. Decor. Gardens. Pool. Not a lot.,
- Kerenma22 (10/5): Exceptional - Prefectttt in so many ways
The perfect romantic getaway for a couple
They thought about every little detail
The rooms, the food, the service, the outside, the pool, everything perfect
We also took a great cooking class there
- Camilo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacqueline (9/5): We will be back. The website has very well laid out the properties essence. - Absolutely stunning. The property was so relaxing, inviting and charming. Between the pool, the gardens and the common outdoor spaces we wished we had stayed longer. The kitchen staff was so accommodating. We came in late afternoon and they accommodated us for a late lunch, without hesitation. Everything !!
- Lily (9/5): Superb - One of the most beautiful hotels I have seen, the flowers in the gardens and the interiors have all been so well thought out. My only suggestion would be that more staff are definitely needed. For the price of the hotel I’d expect it to be easy to get drinks etc throughout the day but I had to keep going to reception if I wanted to find a staff member and it was very hard to get drinks/lunch by the pool. There is a bar but I didn’t once see a member of staff working there
- Craig (10/5): - Special spot! The food was incredible and very calm and relaxing.
- Bromley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eivind (9/5): Superb - Tucked away in the picturesque rolling hills of the Italian countryside, our recent stay at Relais Sant Elena was nothing short of magical. This hidden gem offers an unparalleled blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, making it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and a taste of authentic Italian hospitality.
- Marcus (10/5): Ideal Tuscan retreat with beautiful room and great staff and food - Great staff and communication despite last minute stay. Massage was affordable compared to most hotels. Setting is in an ideal Tuscan landscape and the food and service delicious. Even made me the perfect martini even thought it wasn’t on the menu. Tried to spend a second night but was fully booked. Nothing to mention. Perfection for the price
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Francesca (10/5): Un’oasi di pace - L’hotel è silenzioso, un’oasi di pace, lo staff sempre presente ma discreto.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Muncharee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Every detail was to perfection and a staff that was attentive and kind. - The grounds and surrounding property were exquisite. It was a peaceful haven with everything thought of. Nothing at all. It was perfect.
- Jade (10/5): Romantic and achingly pretty - Stunningly beautiful grounds, walks, scenic and relaxing pool area, lovely and helpful staff and owner on site, small villages and towns within 20 minutes drive. Delicious small menu, great cakes at breakfast that you can take for later. Romantic and brilliant background sax player outside on our last night (Friday). Went to the beach one day, grey sand, nice food but headed back to the hotel to lie on the grass by the pool instead. For more casual food (though they do sandwiches throughout the day) head to the small town 10 minute drive away.
- Angus (10/5): Exceptional -
- Radovan (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful hotel in the middle of meadows. Superb breakfast and nice dinners as well. We were here severské times and were always very happy with everything.
- Elisabetta (10/5): - Unique place to stay, absolutely.
- Graham (10/5): - Just brilliant in every respect
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Terry (10/5): We are coming back soon! -
- Hannah (10/5): Everything you would dream of for a stay in Tuscany - Absolutely stunning location and hotel for a charming stay in Tuscany. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The only small bit of feedback would be that it was difficult to get a drink while at the pool with staff often busy elsewhere. This is no reflection on the staff as they were excellent!
- Edward (6/5): - We did not like:
Their mountain bikes were poorly maintained. (Gears did not work at all smoothly, or reliably. Brakes were weak.)
We are cyclists.
We requested a short route. They suggested a 1 hour trail and we returned in 3 1/2. The trail was NOT for bicycles. NOT bikeable. Very unsafe. Large gravel, rocks strewn everywhere along the path, no stability or traction, therefore requiring getting off the bikes and walking. Ridiculous. Ruined our morning and our subsequent afternoon plans. We were glad we did not have an accident.
The bed mattress needed to be replaced. We 'slid' to the centre.
The maitre d's attitude at dinner was one of indifference. We were craning our necks for service. However, he seemed to be pleasant to some tables. We got his indifference.
We did like:
The location. The quiet. The breakfast was excellent.
- Paulo (10/5): - localizado em Bibbona pertinho de Bolgheri um visual incrível, lindas paisagens. Café da manhã incrível
- Bader (10/5): - .
- Louise (10/5): Beautiful hotel in an incredible setting for a very relaxing stay. Excellent food & service. - Everything about this hotel was fantastic - the staff couldn’t have been more helpful (even organising a taxi for passports left in the room!), the food is amazing and the setting stunning.
- Philip (9/5): Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And that’s not saying enough. - One of the most beautiful, well-kept hotels we have ever had the pleasure to visit. The food, which changed daily, was top quality, and the staff was as professional and kind as you will ever experience. The only issue we had was that the interior walls were not well sound-insulated, but this was a minor inconvenience when compared to the whole experience.
- Marco (10/5): If this corner of paradise is available do not waste the opportunity and book it immediately! - Everything is outstanding. From the historical location to the in-house grown food , the attention to every detail and the care received.
Family run business from 4 generations, focused on high-end quality , authenticity, organic and local food.
A unique pearl. Didn’t like we had to leave!
- Trina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susana (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutly everything. The staff and the place just great. Leaving
- Matt (10/5): We found our paradise after a long hard year, this was absolutely perfect to stop and recharge. - Paradise found. Such a peaceful spot, with beautiful picture postcard Tuscan location. Nothing
- Vincent (10/5): Exceptional -
- Regina (10/5): It does not get any better! - Breakfast was exceptional, the home made cakes were amazing, as were the savory treats nothing, everything was simply perfect!
- Lisa (10/5): Tuscany Paradise! - - Secluded and beautiful land-house with great facilities
- Small number of rooms, enough space for everyone
- Regional/home-made food
- Own Olive Oil, Wine, Beer, Honey (don’t miss the olive oil tasting)
- Welcoming yet unintrusive staff
- Don’t miss enjoying the welcome drink watching the sunset from the closeby windmill
- Natural mosquito repellent is sprayed - The bar area at the pool could be a bit nicer
- Saleh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dirmaitė (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is excellent to the smallest details.
Very well maintained area, parking, swimming pool.
Staff is also nice and attentive. In the description of this hotel there is a long list of attractions. However, in reality they weren’t offering it.
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - The facility was breathtaking! Food was so yummy! Staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Javier (10/5): - Lugar espectacular, un hotel hermoso y muy acogedor, muy recomendable para parejas.
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Frits (9/5): No value for precio. It’s a pitty bcs location is excellent, staff very professional - Rooms is too little.
Bathroom is much too little, no space at all Read above
- Mairecaitlin (10/5): Beautiful scenery, gorgeous building and decor, delicious food and wine. - Loved this property! Beautiful decor, friendly staff, delicious food and wine. Will definitely return!
- Henk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tessa (10/5): The most amazing place in Tuscany - We loved everything about our stay at Relais Saint'Elena. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful, as are the gardens of the hotel. The breakfast was outstanding - the best we've ever had; everything was authentic and home-made, and the variety was huge. The breakfast room also has the most amazing "country-kitchen" feel and everything just makes you so happy. The restaurant serves exquisite dinners from a set menu using home-grown or local ingredients, customised daily by the chef. We extended our stay by an extra night because we couldn't imagine there was a better place to experience Tuscany than this - why go somewhere else when where you are is perfect!
- Liz (9/5): relaxing break in beautiful peaceful surroundings - beautiful building and gardens
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Francesca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Truly enjoyable on all aspects - Location, atmosphere, infrastructure, ability to always find a quiet spot to relax. Close and distant from tourist spots at the same time Mountains bike could be better maintained
- Lynda (10/5): - It is an amazingly beautiful estate with wonderful staff and outstanding food and wine. We will definitely be back.
- Edward (9/5): Beautiful property in the Bolgheri hill country ...great place couples for 2 or 3 nights. - Beautiful property just outside of Bebona. Staff is amazing and very friendly. The onsite restaurant is excellent is the La Colazione in the morning. I took a cooking class and loved it. Only issue I had is that it is a bit farther drive to the various wineries in Bolgheri?
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalie (10/5): the best, I’d come 3 times a year if we could -
- Erin (10/5): - This was our first stop on our 2 week trip in Tuscany. This was an unbelievably high bar to set- we loved everything about this property!! It’s perfectly located just outside of town, with easy access roads to the beach or the winery area. Very quiet with a stunning view. The pool and dining area are beautiful and just a few steps from the rooms. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We did the cooking class and had a ball, took away so many great tips. The food for breakfast and dinner is also fantastic. We loved it here and would recommend it to everybody (except those traveling with kids, this is adults only).
- Claudia (9/5): Beautiful Relais in paradise! - Incredible breakfast and pool. Lots of great spots to relax. It felt like we were a guest at a friend's home. Rooms were a little small.
- Karin Barbara (10/5): Alles mit viel Liebe - Alles perfekt, idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Weinregion zu erkunden. Wunderbares Anwesen mit top Personal und wunderbarer Küche. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
- Gerald (8/5): Gut aber nicht perfekt - Tolle Location
Großartiges Essen
Service sehr freundlich
Aber: die Zimmer sind klein und unpraktisch
- Linton (10/5): Excellent hotel with first class service. - It’s the third visit our family have made to this hotel and it certainly won’t be the last. Their attention to detail and care for their clients is excellent, especially during this current pandemic. Every area from the room to the dining facilities was well planned and executed, we were even allocated a specific area at the pool.
- Bruno (10/5): Traumhaft - Was soll ich nur sagen. Einfach traumhaft! Eine Oase zum die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Das Frühstück ist genial. Das Personal sehr hilfsbereit. Die "Anlage" in super Zustand. Wir kommen wieder!!!
- David (8/5): Peace - Beautiful property with panoramic Tuscan countryside views. Friendly staff and and well located for visiting nearly vineyards.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staying here was the highlight of my trip. It was absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit the Tuscany region
- Alexander (10/5): Amazing hotel with amazing service and food. - Amazing hotel with amazing service and food.
- Karsten (10/5): Wunderbarer Rückzugsort - Das Relais ist etwas außerhalb von Bibbona gelegen, über eine asphaltierte Straße gut zu erreichen. Es gibt überdachte Parkplätze. Die Anlage ist wundervoll und sehr stilvoll gestaltet. Ein schöner Pool mit sehr weitläufiger Liegewiese, verschiedene Rückzugsmöglichkeiten - perfekt. Der Service ist sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist das liebevoll hergerichtetste, das ich kenne! Alles wird frisch zubereitet - wundervoll!
- Linton (10/5): Best hotel in the world - Excellent in every way. I cannot fault this hotel at all. After travelling for over 35 years and staying in dozens of hotels all round the world, this would be my favourite place to stay - and why, because it delivers above and beyond its offer. One is treated as a real guest and not like a number. The service is personal and delivered in a way that makes one feel at home and relaxed - there's no pretence. Will be back either later this year but definitely next year.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ein traumhaft schönes Anwesen, sehr ruhig und liebevoll gestaltet! Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, alles mit Liebe zum Detail angerichtet. Der Pool ist sehr sauber und lädt zum entspannen ein!
Lediglich die Betten haben wir als zu hart empfunden und daher eher unruhig geschlafen!
Wir können das Relais Sant Elena auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent stay - Stayed here two nights for our honeymoon. The food was fantastic. The wine was plentiful. The views endless. Riding bikes around the area was a complete joy. Great value.
