Relais Della Rovere

In the rolling Tuscan countryside of Colle di Val d'Elsa, a short walk from Piazza Arnolfo di Cambio and the Sentierelsa Trail. The Relais sits next to a golf course and is about 6 miles from Monteriggioni Castle, with Florence Airport roughly 62 km away.

Housed across three historic buildings—a Benedictine monastery, a Renaissance villa and a farmhouse dating from the 1100s to the 18th century—the hotel feels like a compact time travel. Rooms (31 total) are air-conditioned and individually furnished with LCD TVs, minibars, safes and jetted tubs in some baths; complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Pets are welcome and babysitting/childcare is available for families.

Sink into a travertine outdoor pool with sunbeds and umbrellas or rent a bicycle to explore the Alta Val d'Elsa. The property sits in a secular park of Tuscan maquis and offers a library, massage room and solarium—perfect for slow afternoons and sunset moments. Free self-parking is onsite.

Meeting and conference space (about 150 m²) plus a business center and computer station make this a practical pick for events. Expect a 24-hour front desk, laundry/dry cleaning and express check-in/out options.

Il Cardinale serves Italian fare with garden views and alfresco seating when the weather allows. Start with a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning and wind down at the bar/lounge; room service is available for lazy evenings. Expect regional Tuscan flavors throughout the menu.
