Hotel Palazzo San Lorenzo & Spa

The hotel is situated at the top of a hill. Its in the most picturesque location. The staff were VERY HOSPITABLE. The rooms were MASSIVE. We had an abundance of space. Everything was so lovely and clean. The breakfast was more than enough and they catered for Gluten Free as well. A walk downhill into town is a must. Just stroll the streets and get lost. The spa was lovely, the ladies were so welcoming and gave a great massage.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious with a stunning view from our window, excellent air conditioning, and a large bathroom. Housekeeping was impeccable, with the room cleaned daily. The breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of choices. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout the hotel. The location is perfect—just a 15-minute drive from San Gimignano, making it a great base for exploring the region. We stayed for four days and enjoyed visiting different places each day. Colle Val d'Elsa is a charming and peaceful town, free from large crowds of tourists. We highly recommend this hotel!

Let's start with the location - hotel is located in a beautiful part of the medieval city that is opposite of being crowded. The old and empty streets make for great strolls in the evening. The staff has been more than helpful and kind to us. They offered a help whenever we needed one. The room has been comfortable and very clean. Sheets have been regularly changed as well as the towels. Pool and the garden offered a lot of place to relax after a tiring day of sightseeing beautiful Tuscany vistas. Breakfasts have been samey every morning but the food was very good so I didn't feel bored of eating similar things every day. Only cakes have been somewhat on a rotation. Hotel staff provided important information about surroundings and potential difficulties in travelling eg road blockages and whatnot.

From check in to check out 6 days later we could not fault this hotel. The staff are exceptional and went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. Raphaela deserves a special mention for both recommending & booking us a fabulous Mother’s Day luncheon at a traditional Tuscan restaurant in the area. Breakfast was included and the variety offered made it a worthwhile start to the day. We even had time to spend some time in the lovely pool and outdoor bar area. The hotel location is ideal for daily outings into Tuscany and the secure onsite parking was very handy.

Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Parking was easy and free. The hotel was clean and has large comfortable rooms. Breakfast was great with lots of options. The pool was great, lovely view over the town and relaxing area, plus easy access to the bar. Very big comfortable bed!
