Description |
Housed in an atmospheric eleventh century abbey that was once home to Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, the Relais della Rovere offers comfortable four-star accommodation in Tuscany's Colle di Val D'Elsa, not far from Siena and Florence and close to the little medieval city of San Gimignano. Lovingly restored to recapture its former glory, this attractive hotel in Tuscany is full of exquisite period details and is furnished in keeping with its historic provenance. All around is stunning Tuscan countryside and the main north-south highway, L'Autostrada del Sole, is less than half an hour's drive away.
The hotel sports the della Rovere coat of arms on its ancient facade and has panoramic views over the Colle Bassa and Colle Alta hills. There are 30 elegantly furnished rooms, here including a range of luxurious suites all furnished in keeping with their historic context, while benefiting from every modern comfort. Rooms are spacious and equipped with luxurious en-suite facilities which include Jacuzzi-style hydromassage bath, a range of shampoos and toiletries, built-in hairdryer and shower. There is also a seating area with direct-dial telephone with fax facility, color TV, a personal safe and a generous minibar. Rooms have far-ranging, attractive views and windows that open to let in the fresh air. Children are welcomed with cots/cribs, an outdoor play area and a babysitting service.
The hotel is set inside a large park with a pool and a shady cloister, where guests can enjoy an aperitif or an unhurried coffee in peaceful surroundings, and an excellent restaurant where guests can sample Tuscan specialties. This Colle di Val d'Elsa hotel also has an impressive conference centre with state-of-the-art equipment. A range of therapeutic and beauty treatments is offered in the hotel spa.
