An ancient coaching inn from the year 1000, a precious refuge for pilgrims and wayfarers who once traveled the Via Francigena to visit the tomb of the Apostle Peter in Rome. Today, that ancient shelter is still a sanctuary: for the heart, for the mind, and for the body.
Surrounded by fifty hectares of pristine woodland, Relais La Costa is, in fact, a place suspended in time. It's an oasis of peace, encapsulating the very essence of pure beauty. History, art, elegance, and harmony with nature all take shape right here, amidst the gently embracing Chianti hills, with Siena on one side and Monteriggioni on the other. Here, you can breathe in the scent of history, thanks to a restoration that preserved the authenticity of a magical place, capable of offering hospitality to 21st-century travelers with the same warmth as a thousand years ago.
Relais La Costa is the ideal destination for those seeking a more relaxed pace and unique, unforgettable emotions. This begins with the spectacular and evocative view of Siena enjoyed from the Relais, thanks to the multi-level layout of the property. It's a destination, yes, but also a starting point for exploring the most characteristic villages of the Sienese province, traversing the marvelous landscapes of Chianti, Val di Chiana, and Val d'Orcia.
Relais La Costa offers its guests a wide selection of services to make their stay unforgettable and unique. Everything at the Relais is dedicated to beauty and complete relaxation. This starts with its Spa, "L'Eremo del Benessere" (The Hermitage of Wellness), a place for the contemplation of body and soul, where you are pampered and transported into the past with the pleasures of the present. And then there's the splendid pool, completely immersed in the relaxing greenery of the park and positioned on the wonderful panoramic terrace, at the highest point of the property, offering a unique view of Siena and the surrounding hills.
For indulging in the pleasures of the table, there's "La Sosta del Viandante" (The Wayfarer's Stop), the Relais' delightful restaurant that offers homemade dishes of typical Tuscan cuisine. It allows guests to savor the always-fresh products of a rich and generous territory, which finds its highest expression in the fullness of its flavors. The orchard and vegetable garden are visible on the slopes of the Relais. From here, fresh fruits and vegetables arrive daily to delight guests' tables, while the extra virgin olive oil is produced in small quantities in the private olive grove to preserve its intact aromas.
And for rest, the Relais offers its guests eight wonderful Suites, which harmoniously combine the unparalleled charm of a historic residence with the utmost comfort of spacious areas equipped with every amenity.
