A very well managed hotel with extremely helpful staff. Located in the centre of this small non-tourist town with plenty of attractive old hill-top towns in easy driving distance more

My husband and I just returned from 10 days in Italy. After reading reviews on Trip Advisor we chose this hotel. We spent 4 nights at Hotel La Vecchia Cartiera and it was our favorite part of the trip. Colle di val d'Elsa is the perfect spot from which to tour the Tuscany region. The town itself is quaint and... more

Stayed two nights at this hotel. Clean room, great location, and breakfast is a feast! Front desk staff were so very friendly and helpful. The town is a picture postcard of the kind of place you want to find. Great food in local restaurants. Good location to use as a base to explore larger area. more

Colle di Val d'Elsa is a good choice to visit many of the hilltowns in Tuscany - Volterra, San Gimignano, Chianti Valley, Siena, and Monterrigioni. Our twin-bedded stay ($80/nt) included breakfast. Nothing fancy, but clean and friendly service. Rooms overlook quiet shopping plaza. Underground garage parking was $9/night. While there is a restaurant attached to the hotel, we opted to... more

The receptionist spoke excellent English and was very helpful. We ate in the restaurant at the hotel (same name, but different... more

Service ranges from stiff elegance to arrogant inefficiency, which seems a Tuscan trait. The breakfast is OK. The hotel has a parking garage below at... more

A girlfriend and I stayed here a couple of years ago on a girls mini OE. I took my boyfriend back here on our way to our big OE! A bit of a mission getting there without a vehicle of our own, but we managed it by asking a few questions in broken Italian. Once again the staff were wonderful,... more

Stayed in La Vecchia Cartiera while on a short break in Tuscany and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hotel is elegant - lots of wood and great attention to detail - and spotlessly clean. The standards of service and comfort are very high and although there are no meals apart from a generous buffet breakfast, there are a number of... more
