Like
no
other.
I
have
recently
returned
from
Tuscany,
and
it
is
only
now
I
am
able
to
find
the
words
to
describe
how
special
this
hotel
is.
Firstly,
don’t
think
of
it
as
a
hotel,
as
you
will
feel
like
you
are
staying
in
a
home
(fully
staffed
of
course,
and
with
a
pool)
…
I
have
been
lucky
enough
to
have
stayed
in
many
5
star
hotels
in
countries
across
the
world.
None,
however,
compare
to
the
experience
that
is
to
be
found
staying
in
Relais
Sassa
Al
Sole.
It
is
the
perfect
place
to
relax,
unwind,
and
enjoy
the
peace
that
surrounds
this
special
place.
The
staff
are
incredibly
warm,
helpful,
but
without
being
overbearing.
It
was
almost
as
if
they
were
in
the
background,
but
there
to
assist
should
you
require
anything.
Again,
adding
to
the
fact
you
felt
like
you
were
staying
at
a
luxurious
home
rather
than
hotel.
The
layout
is
rather
lovely.
Rooms
are
quite
private,
and
I
think
it
was
only
once
that
I
heard
any
other
guest
from
where
my
room
was
located.
The
beautiful
pool
is
a
highlight,
but
the
fabulous
sprawling
garden
has
to
be
mentioned,
take
a
walk
in
the
evening
and
find
one
of
their
cosy
setups,
to
sit
and
take
in
the
spectacular
Tuscan
sunsets.
There
is
also
a
jacuzzi
nestled
away
in
the
garden.
Something
that
I
was
surprised
by
was
the
dining
area
set
up
on
a
raised
deck/balcony,
as
I
hadn’t
seen
photos
online-
it
provided
wonderful
views
of
the
landscape,
and
provided
the
most
picturesque
backdrop
to
your
meals.
(The
pesto
pasta
was
a
highlight
and
deserves
a
special
mention)
Breakfast
I
found
to
be
a
very
good
offering,
especially
considering
that
Italians
do
a
different
take
on
breakfast
than
a
lot
of
other
countries.
An
espresso
and
pastry
would
do
most
people
there.
The
room
itself
felt
spacious,
thanks
to
a
high
ceiling,
and
multiple
windows,
letting
plenty
of
light
in.
The
decor
was
lovely.
Traditional
with
a
modern
interpretation.
The
only
things
to
note
for
the
hotel,
they
are
not
criticisms
as
such-
it
would
be
a
nice
idea
to
provide
a
guests
with
bottle
of
water
in
the
room
per
day.
Especially
in
such
heat
in
Summertime.
There
is
one
provided
when
you
check
in.
We
would
still
have
ended
up
buying
plenty
of
supplementary
water
bottles
from
the
bar,
but
even
1
bottle
in
the
room
per
day
would
be
a
nice
touch.
The
internet
for
some
reason
constantly
needed
to
be
reconnected
and
input
the
details
to
log
again
in
every
15
minutes
or
so,
which
we
couldn’t
understand,
but
it
wasn’t
the
end
of
the
world,
part
of
me
felt
it
was
a
sign
to
be
offline,
and
to
soak
up
every
minute
of
possible
relaxation.
These
are
very
minor
things,
and
are
just
notes.
Truly,
stating
at
the
Relais
Sassa
Al
Sole
is
an
experience,
if
you
get
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
simply
do
not
hesitate,
you
will
not
regret
it.
