  Amazing stay - the staff and grounds are top notch!

  07 Sept 2026

  We stayed here for 4 nights - it was the most amazing stay. The staff was top notch, food was incredible, and the grounds were spectacular. The Tuscan sun hit perfect every day and the sunsets with peace and quiet were perfect. We came here after staying at a 5-star resort in Florence, and Relais Sant'Elana was most memorable for us. Truly enjoyed this vacation!

  A very lovely hotel, beautifully situated in the countryside, very peaceful yet close to the coast and the Bolgheri vineyards. Excellent service, delicious food.

  Absolutely wonderful!

  27 Jun 2026

  Relais Sant Elena was nothing short of magical. The property itself is breathtaking and embodies everything you dream of when imagining a stay in Tuscany. The rooms are spacious, romantic, and wonderfully welcoming, combining luxury with a genuine sense of home.The breakfast each morning was exceptional, with a beautiful selection of delicious, thoughtfully prepared options. We loved Relais Sant Elena so much that we often found it difficult to leave and explore the surrounding area - a testament to just how special this place is!Dinner on the terrace was equally unforgettable, with outstanding food, a stunning setting, and service that was warm, attentive, and genuinely delightful. Every member of the team made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay.What makes Relais Sant Elena truly remarkable is that it is one of those rare places that manages to exceed expectations in every single aspect. It is exceptionally difficult to find somewhere that ticks every box, and then goes far beyond them, but Relais Sant Elena does exactly that.We were genuinely devastated to leave. Thank you to everyone at Relais Sant Elena for making our visit so special. The memories we made here will stay with us forever, and we cannot wait to return.

  What a fairytale !

  05 Jun 2026

  Left here yesterday morning, and already missing it. What an incredible fairytale we had here. The grounds are stunning, service is phenomenal by all staff, especially the servers, and the owner is on site and is so incredibly kind.The sound of sheep in the fields while eating the most decadent, organic and fresh breakfast made me smile from ear to ear. The rooms are beautiful, and have everything you need. They are cleaned daily, and very efficiently. The pool is huge, great for swimming laps. You can lounge for hours, breathing in the freshest air and with the most spectacular , relaxing views. This is the easiest spot to meditate, I could look at the view for hours. We will 110% be back, specifically for the relaxation, incredible staff, and the vegetarian lasagna for dinner and incredible breakfasts.Couldn’t recommend this hotel more! It is INCREDIBLE. Thank you thank you thank you! Tenuta Gardini, at Relais Sant'Elena, responded to this review Dear Ronny,Reading your review brought the biggest smile to our faces.

We will be sure to share your compliments with everyone, who will be thrilled to know they helped make your stay so memorable. And we have to admit, seeing our vegetarian lasagna earn a special mention made our chef very happy!It was a real pleasure to meet you, and we truly hope this was just the first chapter of a long friendship with our little corner of Tuscany. We will be waiting to welcome you back for more slow mornings, breathtaking sunsets, and plenty of delicious breakfasts.Until then, thank you once again for your kindness and for choosing to stay with us.
