Independent in Cecina Valley from NZ$120

"Oh my this villa stay was one of the best we have had - so relaxing , spacious , fully equipped for all our needs We hosted a party as a prelude for my daughters wedding , and one Consuella and her team made the most fantastic pizzas and two all my guests remarked on how lovely the villa was - so thankyou Marco and Laura for letting us stay in this lovely villa in such a remarkable setting"

"The staff at the front desk were exceptional with their assistance. It was above and beyond. And the rooftop breakfast was very good. The staff were eager and happy to assist. The evening cocktail hour on the rooftop was very pleasant. And once again the staff were great. "

"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"

"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!"

"The AC and toilet never worked, and the manager wanted us to stay in those conditions. The manager forcefully grabbed my friend's arm and led her to the AC unit, arguing that it worked. In addition to her rude manners, she displayed a very aggressive attitude. A manager should resolve the guest's problem, not impose their point of view, much less with a rude and disrespectful attitude. I would never go back to a place like that."

"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."

"Check in/out was quick and easy, friendly staff, my room was spotless. It was so close to the water which I loved."
