Independent in Cecina Valley from NZ$153

"Wonderful stay – highly recommend! Beautiful complex in a quiet countryside setting, with a large pool and plenty of sunbeds. Breakfast was included, and dinner at the hotel was excellent value: buffet starters, two dishes from the menu, and unlimited dessert. As seafood lovers, we were very happy with the choice. Breakfast and dinner were so generous we didn’t need lunch. Staff were fantastic — special thanks to Tati at reception, the restaurant team, and Francesco at the pool. Everything was spotless. Only drawback: Wi-Fi didn’t reach our room or the pool, so we used mobile data. Location is peaceful yet convenient, about an hour to Pisa and 25 minutes to the beach. We’d happily return in the near future"

"Great hotel - location, views, pool, breakfast & staff !!!"

"Relays Sant’Elena was a piece of heaven! Luxurious and beautiful surroundings and caring staff who went above and beyond in every way, allowed for the most relaxing and special stay. I can’t wait to return!"

"Super, family of 4. Everything easily available for our stay even things we didn’t know we needed, like an air compressor to blow up pool toys"

"Check-in was very easy and fast. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel entrance is beautiful, making it a nice place to stay."

"Very nice hotel, close to the beach, a 5-10 min walk through a pine grove. Breakfast (11 euro) - was good. The room itself was spacious, good air conditioners, fridge, stove, sink, balcony and rack for drying swimming suites. Beach towels are not included/provided. Bathroom shower did not drain very well. There was a chemical smell in the room. Overall the stay was good."
