We stayed at this beautiful place for 10 days. It was amazing and felt just like home each night when we came back, exhausted from our day. The bed was very comfortable, beautifully renovated bathroom, smart tv and our windows opened onto a beautiful garden area. The room was spotlessly cleaned every day and they replenished personal care products well in advance. All staff right from the front desk to the wonderful women preparing Breakfast were attentive, happy and welcoming. The buffet breakfast was second to none with a wonderful choice of delicious food. The whole place is beautifully maintained and clean. The pool area also looked peaceful surrounded by garden, although the pool was very clean we did not use it as we were out exploring everyday. Location was excellent with only a short walk down the hill to the town and the piazza. We caught the local buses, buying tickets from the very helpful ladies in the bus ticket office. We visited Florence, Sienna, San Gimingnano, Volterra, monterggioni all by local bus and Pisa by train from Poggibonsi which is a short bus ride from Colle. The back of the villa overlooks the old town up on the hill which is a short walk from the bottom town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Colle and especially the beautiful Relais Della Rovere and would highly recommend it.

“Lovely gem of a hotel in Tuscany”

I would definitely recommend this hotel! Stayed with extended family in August 2024 and was very happy with it. We stayed in the Family Room which was a loft with large bed and a living room and separate small bedroom with two twin beds. Pros: -Beautiful exterior and property -Large pool -Nicely decorated -Helpful front desk -Minibar beverages are free and replenished daily -Nice breakfast with decent options, including gluten free options -Unique upscale restaurant on site -Great third party restaurant directly across street -Hidden gem of a beautiful lake in walking distance if you are adventurous and sure footed. My family really enjoyed the experience but I wouldn't recommend for small children, older people, or anyone with bad balance or who's accident prone. Areas for improvement: -Rooms above ground floor struggled to quite keep up with airconditioning. Not hot per se, but did not reach desired temperature. To be fair it was above 95 outside, and it was still ok for sleeping, but not what I'm used to in the states. -Town is technically walking distance but would require walking very steep hills. It was not realistic for my in-laws so the hotel arranged transportation for the eight of us with a local car company for a dinner in town (which was quite lovely and tasty). It cost $80 euros, which was pretty steep for a 5 minute drive each way (it stays on site, which is probably what drove the most cost, but there was no way just to request one there and one back). -Just a note if you choose the family room that the loft doesn't have a separate bedroom so you must navigate stairs that were a little tricky, especially if you need to use in the middle of the night. -Please note that while the hotel feels quite secluded and picturesque on site, it is located in a suburban area, not in the rolling picturesque hills of Tuscany. This did not impact our experience at all, but you can hear cars passing by if that takes you out of the experience.

“Beautiful hotel in good setting”

A really beautiful hotel with gorgeous evening light and attention to detail.

A really beautiful hotel with gorgeous evening light and attention to detail. Ignore reviews about busy road - it’s a pretty quiet road at the edge of town and we didn’t hear cars at all once in the hotel/by the pool. Nice restaurant opposite and several in the first bit of town a 10min walk away then longer walk (could get taxi) to lots more in old town at the top of the hill. We enjoyed doing the walk! Pool is clean, large, warm with loads of loungers. Our room wasn’t big (and would have liked tea and coffee bits!) but nicely done with lovely old big stone window and seat. The whole hotel has real character and staff are very nice. Drinks and food are pretty pricey but we weren’t the only ones bringing in a sandwich or some bottled beers to keep in the room fridges and that seemed fine. It’s a great spot to quickly visit loads of places and a nice balance between town and countryside at a good price for a touch of luxury - so in summary - would really recomend!
