Relais Sant'Elena Bibbona

Relais Sant'Elena is an elegant country property, situated in one of the most enchanting parts of Tuscany, on the "Coast of the Etruscans". A territory known for its particularly varied landscapes, this area of Italy encompasses rolling hillside, great expanses of verdant countryside, picturesque medieval villages and glorious beaches, the latter washed by a fabulous, crystal clear sea.

Relais Sant'Elena lies within the Tenuta Gardini, a large rural estate where grapes for the prestigious Bolgheri wine are grown. Relais Sant'Elena still conserves many of the building's original architectural features. The corridors, open galleries, courtyards and lobbies, all decorated in timelessly elegant fashion, provide delightful environments where to relax whilst conversing with friends or browsing through the papers.

In the hotel's sixteen, beautifully appointed rooms guests find themselves surrounded by exquisite items of antique furniture, period paintings, and the finest quality Italian textiles. A superb range of Tuscan herbal products is a standard feature in all bathrooms. A private outside area is a pleasant addition to each and every room.

In the grounds of the hotel, a large swimming pool provides an idyllic spot where to enjoy the Tuscan sunshine: rivalled only by the nearby beaches - considered to be some of the finest in Tuscany. For lovers of the countryside, Relais Sant'Elena organises nature trails through the surrounding vineyards and woodlands, with the chance to visit the old oil presses, mills, alabaster caves and kilns which characterise this enchanting corner of Tuscany.
