Villa Sabolini ★★★★

In its heyday, Colle di Val d’Elsa was populated by pilgrims and wayfarers. Nowadays this medieval hilltop settlement is known for its crystal glass production, community feel and incredible views of Tuscany. Just a few miles from this charming town, in the tiny village of Mensanello, the Villa Sabolini offers a luxury retreat immersed in the beauty and nature of pristine Tuscan landscape.

Whilst the exterior showcases the classic architecture of an ancient Italian mansion, the hotel’s interior presents a vintage theme that allows guests to transport themselves to the past. Furnished with an elegant and classic Italian style, you will delight in the warm and welcoming atmosphere that the hotel exudes.

Stay in romantic rooms, decorated with simple and elegant furnishings that showcase the antique design of the hotel. As true cocoons of comfort, collapse into their soothing environment and live the true Tuscan life in this traditional hotel. Equipped with every amenity necessary, you may wish to stay in your room all day. If you can dare to pry yourself away, delight in all the services the Villa Sabolini has to offer. Take a dip in the open-air swimming pool, explore the countryside by bicycle or simply marvel at the paradisiacal landscape that surrounds the hotel.

As the evening draws in and the sun begins to fall behind the skyline, head to the Sabolini restaurant, where the chefs reinterpret local products every day, to offer the guests the freshest taste and flavour of Tuscany. The delicious dishes are born in tradition, so each guest can taste a small fragment of an era gone by, whilst dining in an elegant, stylish restaurant. Choose to dine on the cosy terrace, and watch the stars shine as they pepper the deep black sky.
