About this property

Welcome to Relais La Solaia

Relais La Solaia stands as a beautifully restored Tuscan borgo nestled in the heart of Civitella in Val di Chiana, Italy. This 4.5-star retreat captures the essence of rural charm with its stone-built cottages and panoramic views over the rolling valley below.

Posto incantevole, panorama bellissimo, grande cura nella ricostruzione del piccolo villaggio. Le stanze e gli appartamenti sono arredati con gusto, pulitissimi e molto curati sotto tutti gli aspetti. Tutte le persone che lavorano nel relais sono squisitamente gentili e disponibili e dimostrano, in ogni circostanza grande professionalità e competenza. La cucina è ottima e varia, i prodotti utilizzati sono di qualità, pasta fresca e dolci sono di produzione propria.

Un piccolo borgo trasformato in un luogo unico e fantastico, in cui veramente puoi staccare la spina da tutto. I telefoni prendono pochissimo, ma non vi preoccupate avrete ben altro a cui pensare in questo luogo spettacolare. A cominciare dalle terme in cui ci si può rilassare e seguire un percorso spa molto rilassante. Finito il percorso benessere si può andare a gustare la cena, ottima, tutto fatto in casa, presso il ristorante, molto piccolo e accogliente, dove vengono serviti piatti tipici toscani e gustare dell'ottimo vino. Non mancano la simpatia e cordialità da parte della titolare, una ragazza che sa il fatto suo e che però non manca mai di sorridere. Per un weekend romantico o no, uguale quale sia la motivazione, un posto in cui andare e rilassarsi!

Posto davvero molto bello. Piccolo borgo completamente ristrutturato usando materiali tipici delle costruzioni di campagna toscane. Piscina panoramica spettacolare con piccolo chiosco dove poter bere e mangiare qualcosa di leggero. Ci sono anche un ristorante ed una spa. Rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo. Proprietari gentilissimi e disponibilissimi, pronti a soddisfare ogni richiesta. Insomma gran posto che consiglio vivamente a tutti.

Relais bellissimo immerso nel verde. Mi dispiace di averlo visto in inverno dove i colori erano un po' spenti, circolano nel posto meravigliosi coniglietti! La camera arredata in modo molto romantico, io avevo il susino, molto ampia e spaziosa. L'unica nota un poì stonata la spa perchè non siamo riusciti a fare il percorso per l'acqua completamente gelata per tutto il tempo. Ristorante degno di chef stellato abbiamo mangiato benissimo con luci soffuse. Molto molto bello.

Un sogno. Un piccolo borgo delle favole, tutto in pietra, con una vista sulla vallata così bella da togliere il fiato. Sotto un arco c'è l'ingresso del ristorante dove abbiamo mangiato del pesce cucinato molto bene (da elogiare il semplice salmone al forno ma con un profumo e un sapore di erbe aromatiche mai sentito prima!). Anche la SPA è bella, pulitissima e molto rilassante. Cosa dire di più... Consigliatissimo.

I spent a week at La Solaia or "Borgo Paradise" just after new year 2018. Nothing I can tell you can express how well the staff treated our party or how beautiful this paradise is. It was everything I hoped for and so many things I could not have imagined. That said there are things about this place you must know before deciding to stay here for any length of time. The first is that this is not a 24 hour hotel. It is a family run operation and the parents have many obligations on the property and manage a busy family. Please be respectful of their time. The second is that it is unlikely you will have wifi unless you are in one of two guest rooms closest to the reception desk or in the area outside the reception room. The rooms and buildings that populate the many spaces of this hotel Villa are well maintained and thoroughly modern as a villa of this kind can be but they may not be suitable for everyone. Those with mobility issues or who are unable to climb stairs are not likely to have a staisfactory stay. This place as closely approximates a 19th century farmhouse as one can imagine and that means it is furnished accordingly. If your taste is to the modern, you may want to look further. The only misfortune in my nearly week long stay was that I reserved a three bedroom suite that had three queen beds. No such room exists here to my knowledge. What was offered was two bedroom suite, one large room between, with a living room with a fold out couch. The small bedroom had two single beds separated by a nightstand, this room might be best described a a children's room if you have small children. All in all this is a beautiful villa run by amazingly friendly people.
