A delight. I arrived quite late, but I booked a dinner in advance. Prosecco......mmmmm
We were delighted with the service, breakfast (if you want vegetables or an omelette, just say it) if they have products, they will definitely serve you.
We were very pleased with the employee Ecaterina from Slovakia Piestany who offered great recommendations to visit around, thank you very much.

The location is exceptional. This place is producing its own wine, and of course in order to taste the wine, the best thing you can do is eat in their restaurant. Now, that restaurant is also amazing. I had the pasta with the wine and it was really very very good. The breakfast is amazing. The view from the hill is fantastic. The swimming pool is very nice. And the staff is extremely kind and welcoming.

It was tremendously clean! Beautifully designed. The hosts were so helpful and thoughtful.
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.
The location is amazing, with stunning views. The pool is fantastic, with an amazing view towards Certaldo and San Giminiano. Simona and all the other staff are very friendly and helpful. We travelled with children and it was great that they had so much space to explore and run about. We had a ground floor apartment and it was way more spacious than we expected. We really liked the breakfast. Also the wine was delicious! Many thanks for everything, hopefully we can come back one day. :)
We loved it all. An incredible view out of the window, a spotlessly clean and comfortable room, delicious breakfast every morning and the loveliest, most welcoming host in the world - Sasha!
We stayed there for 4 nights. We had a chance to explore the unique, authentic town of Certaldo and treat our palate to the delicious food at local restaurants kindly recommended by Sasha. We would go back without hesitation!
THANK YOU, SASHA! You are a STAR!
Can’t say enough about this place!! From the moment my friend & I arrived we felt so warm and welcome. The owners are very communicative and the restaurant is AMAZING. Breakfast each morning far exceeded my expectations with a variety of pastries, coffees, teas, and a full menu. A charming little villa situated on a hillside in Certaldo with panoramic views. I will definitely stay here again.
such history and the location in Certaldo Alto is just amazing. Eric and Ele are just phenomenal hosts. We’re getting married there later this year, and can’t wait to celebrate the day on their stunning terrace, eating Ele’s beautiful food and we’re in no doubt it’ll be a special experience. Our room was perfect and a few days on we’re still reminiscing over Ele’s orange breakfast cake
Great location in town. Opposite the train station. Easy to get to old town.
Owner was nice and very friendly. Slight language barrier but that is our fault for not knowing enough Italian.
We had free parking and it felt really safe and really quiet.
Nice breakfast opposite the hotel. We loved it. Thank you!
The location and venue was like ‘living in an Instagram reel’ as one of my kids said. It is stunningly beautiful and the property is very well set up to give each group privacy. It is easy to get to many places like Firenze, Siena, Volterre. Certaldo Alto is worth a visit too. Loved loved loved our stay.
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!
Lovely, quiet place. Great swimming pool. Very clean.
Staff very friendly, our plane departed late in afternoon, so they offered a late checkout. We wish to come back!
10-15 minutes by car to the village of Certaldo. Certaldo alto is beautiful!
The host was very friendly, he responded to all of our questions. The place is in the middle of the old town of Certaldo, a very nice place. We were in December and we had no problems with the heat. For the price, you cannot ask for more.
Loved staying in an old medieval tower but with a modern, well designed interior. Perfect location in the old, upper part of Certaldo. Comfortable bed and fabulous views from the bedroom balcony! Friendly staff and great value.
We loved restaurant manager, his care and talking to him.
We loved the pool.
The room was very nice and internet was working very well.
The town Certaldo is very nice and we like the walk from the hotel to historical part.
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!
