Overview
Relax Hotel Aquaviva is in Val d’Elsa, between the provinces of Florence and Siena.
It is 30 minutes' drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of San Gimignano. Originally an Etruscan village, the settlement was named after the bishop of Modena, San Gimignano, who is said to have saved the city from Attila the Hun. It is "beautifully preserved, enticingly rural, and with a fine array of religious and secular frescoes", according to Rough Guides.
Siena -- an essential stop on every Tuscan itinerary -- is around 40 minutes' drive from the hotel, while Florence -- the capital of Tuscany, known for its Renaissance architecture and magnificent Duomo -- is around an hour and 15 minutes' drive.
Hotel facilities includes a spa with a steam bath, a sauna, an indoor and outdoor pool with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The Il Cavaliere Blu restaurant is specialized in typical Tuscan cuisine.
The 39 spacious rooms are equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, safe and hairdryer, and all of them have direct access to the spa through an elevator.

The beautiful Tuscan countryside and the peace and quiet. Centrally located for day trips to Siena, San Gimignano (by car) and an hour train ride (from Poggibonsi station about a 1/2 hour car ride) to Florence for a long day.
Other Comments
This hotel had its heyday probably 30 years ago so everything is “tired”. Don’t expect a fancy spa like we’re used to in North America. Staff are very helpful. Good variety of food for breakfast. Find nearby restaurants for dinner.
