Relais la Costa Historical Residence

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
