Got to see this beautiful hilltop town in the evening and early morning before the other Tourists showed up. Staff were wonderful. Room was spotless.... And a great breakfast to start the day. Can't recommend this place highly enough

The location of Il Pucchio was wonderful - beautiful surroundings and views. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, and the pool was amazing - just what was needed after a day out exploring Tuscany. We used the train from Certaldo to reach a number of towns - San Gimgnano, Siena - and Certaldo Alta (the old town) was one of our favourite places.
Our hosts were extremely welcoming and kind, and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable.
It was a lovely, quiet, private property, and we can't wait to go back.

Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location surrounded by wonderful sights and amazing restaurants with the best sunsets. Great value for money and a great way to experience the Italian culture.
The old city is wonderful. Worth to visit. Good restaurants in the neighbourhood. I recommend to have a dinner in Marchese Val d’Elsa. View is stunning and food delicious. And the trip to go there is beautiful with absolutely great views. You need a car. It’s a 20 min trip.

Certaldo was the perfect place to stay in Chianti region of Tuscany. It had a train station so we could make our own way around to explore and sightsee. When visiting towns without a train, we took a taxi (NCC). Several people we met had rented cars and they found the area to be very drivable. Certaldo Basso (lower town) and Certaldo Alto (up the hill) are connected by scenic, natural walking paths and for those who prefer something easier, the very quaint Funiculare (1.5 Euro return). We stayed in Certaldo Alto, the historic centre of town. In addition to the fascinating museums - do not miss the Nail Museum - there are B & B's , apartments, and a lovely hotel. There are wonderful dining spaces inside and outside, bars and the wonderful Gelateria! In terms of crowds, there were occasional groups of tourists in Certaldo Alto but many times we were the only people walking down the cobbled roads in the middle of the day. The peace and quiet was most welcome after the throngs of people in Florence and Siena. Certaldo is a very special place. nestled in the heart of Tuscany.

This Medieval Borgo ranks among the most important in Italy...
This Medieval Borgo ranks among the most important in Italy for its history and access to both Florence and Siena. Additionally, this town is the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio and his featured in his major literature piece, The Decameron.
The new part of town is accessible with simple 10 minutes walks or via a mini railway (for a charge of €1,50); but you can also drive, thanks to the host who will manage getting the required permits.
Certaldo is very small but it sits at the crossroad of major communication roads, therefore it's easy to access Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, and even Pisa.

It's very pretty hilltop settlement but you can see everything in half an hour. The funicular is fun but a little restrictive if you need to leave early. There are some great restaurants. It's the ideal stop-off for lunch if you are traveling back to Pisa from further south in Tuscany but not a great base for wider exploration.

Certaldo is very beautiful! Go to see the old town.
Certaldo is very beautiful! Go to see the old town. There is enough space for parking near the funicolare, the transport up hill.
Certaldo is central for visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and Florence. And you'll be driving through the most romantic landscape.

We visited the old city of Certaldo in 2 hours.
We visited the old city of Certaldo in 2 hours. New part not much shopping or restaurants. Supermarket we visited as we had a kitchen and stayed 5km out. Close to other old towns worth visiting like Volterra.
We bought olive oil and wine from our accomodation which we loved.
We loved this property! It was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and in a great location. We were able to walk to coffee shops, great restaurants, and historical Certaldo Alto. We loved how friendly Elisabetta was to us. She met us there to give us the keys and walk us through the property. She also offered to be “family” to our daughter who is studying abroad there through East Carolina University. When we were leaving, she met is to collect the keys and tell us goodbye. It is evident that she cares that people enjoy their stay there.

It was a lovely, quiet, private property, and we can't wait to go back.
We had a great stay here. The place is absolutely beautiful, in top of a hill with stunning views. There was always a breeze so it wasn't too hot, even in July. No mosquitoes either! Barbara was very welcoming and she also said we could stay as long as we wanted on the Sunday as there weren't other guests coming. We took our dog and there are some lovely walks nearby. Kids loved the pool. Found, a great bakery about a 5 min drive away in Certaldo and we found a couple of really good places to eat in the evenings.
Our room - Rosemary - had just an amazing view, wonderful seating area , comfy bed , and a terrific shower. The location , in the heart of Certaldo , cant be beat . The host Sasha , sent us all the info we needed to drive in to the LTZ , unload , and park . Excellent communication , and a nice breakfast. Probably the prettiest view we had in our days in Tuscany - it was a shame we only stayed one night. Certaldo is charming , well worth a visit off the beaten path.
The hotel has a fantastic location as part of a walled village at the top of a hill. The views from our room and from the patio where we had dinner and breakfast had exceptional views. Dinner at the hotel was delicious and reasonably priced. Our room was large, quiet and thoroughly modern. Staff was friendly and the manager was helpful and informative.
We loved everything about the property! This is a large, beautiful bed and breakfast home in Certaldo! It looks like stepping into the pages of a fairy tale! High ceilings, beautifully decorated rooms, very comfortable beds, and overall just perfect! Thankful for their great hospitality, as well!
The yard and nearest landscape were amazing, so much beautiful Toscana vibes! The hosts were also very pleasant, helped us with transfer and offered a welcome drink) In the our room were all needed facilities, comfortable beds and even work table.
The host was very welcoming, she went above and beyond to help us and provide information about Certaldo and the wider area. The apartment was very clean and was well equipped. .
I will recommend La Torretta to friends and family.
The Views are great, very nice restaurants in close proximity. Location in between Sienna, Florence and the coast. Everything easy to reach. The roads are tiny but that is a given.
The wine is really good!
The location was great - easy to walk to from the train station. The hotel is a nice combination of new and old. The swimming pool was a really nice feature
