The house is located in a country side, surrounded by wineyards and olive trees, on a hill, with a very picturesque view. There is a large free parking lot close to the house. The apartments were clean and spacious, very authentic. The host was great in communications, they also produce and cell the local wine and olive oil. We found a bottle of wine as a welcome on the desk.
Located 0.9 mi from Certaldo Train Station, Osteria Del Vicario offers a garden, free Wi-Fi and a restaurant service. The private bathroom features free toiletries and hairdryer.

We had a lovely stay here!
The rooms were clean and comfortable, the place has character (in a good way!), it felt unique, comfortable and cozy. It added to our overall experience in Certaldo Alto and the area in general. The breakfasts were delicious, and were lucky to dine in their restaurant one evening for a delicious vegan meal. Enjoying the views and perhaps a spritz from the terrace was also enjoyable. Erik was a wonderful, kind host always available to help with anything or offer recommendations. Thank you!

Gracious and friendly hosts made for a perfect stay. Breakfast was not expected and so it was a pleasant surprise. The house oozes with old world charm.

beautiful space ,hosts put so many snacks and drinks on arrival -it was so nice to have it since shops are not really near to buy groceries
amazing friendly hosts
great location -right in the middle of the old town
everything was absolutely lovely Just internet connection need improvements
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 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.
The host family is a very cordial family, they fully trust their guests (there is a refrigerator full of different types of drinks, from water to wines, beers and champagne - take it and write it down in the notebook you took)
Invest in breakfast with fresh things that they prepare on site every morning.
The location is very suitable for a star trip in Tuscany.
The view from the B&B is amazing.
There is a large pool, a laundry room for self-use, a gym, bicycles - and all at no extra charge.
if you want the total Tuscany feel this is it, perched high on a hill overlooking the Tuscan hills, this small medieval town with cobblestone streets has everything you need, several restaurants and shops in the village, breakfast is served on the patio with gorgeous views...Keep in mind this building is old, rooms are small, No AC ...I would definitely recommend staying in the cooler months... Eric was amazing always there for whatever was needed and served us a great breakfast every morning
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 location is amazing, on top on beautiful city. Right next to vernicula to get into the lower part of the town.
The host was able to accomodate free parking nearby for our rental car, a 2 minute walk from the hotel.
An amazing terrace to drink and watch the sunset.
Breakfast was basic but great for the price. The staff were kind and made amazing drinks and coffee!
Dinner at the restuarant was beautiful. Again, the views from the restuarant were beautiful.
We stayed here to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday after being recommended the hotel by a friend. We honestly adored everything. The room was beautiful, the grounds are stunning, the resident frogs are fabulous and a joy to watch while you take a swim in the natural pool. All the staff were amazing, especially Claudia who gave us several amazing recommendations of tours to do, things to see and local places to eat.
I loved this apartment. It was beautifully restored, thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. The bed was cozy, the kitchen very well furnished and stocked and Elisabetta is a wonderful host. She even met me in my way from the train station and took me to the apartment. If you come to Certaldo I highly recommend the Bellavista
We LOVED absolutely everything about this place. The location is exactly what we have dreamed about Tuscany, the kids loved the surroundings, the breakfast was DELICIOUS, we loved drinking our coffee outside at the gardens and okay chess. It was the best choice in our “
your de italy “ - we will definitely come back !
A true Tuscany experience….the grounds, the large rooms and oh so comfortable mattresses! That is the most important. Wine and water provided in your room. Great breakfast and there is a restaurant on site for dinner, starting at 8PM They have wine tasting also by appointment. Very relaxing place to stay!
Nice, clean and big apartment in the center at the main square of Certaldo. Situated at the opposite of the elevator for transportation to the old city. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. She had made a welcome booklet with lots of information on where to eat, go for sightseeing and shopping.
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!
A very comfortable stay, close to the old borgo of Certaldo. This hotel is surrounded by a very large garden with a pool. A good and large breakfast is included in the stay fare. The room was comfortable and very spacious as well as clean.
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.
We drove by car to this place and stayed for 4 days. In the mornings the host made us breakfast herself. The hospitality is great. The place is really authentic and in the middle of the old town Certaldo.
Wonderful family run property. Amazing location for relaxing and enjoying the grounds and central for all travel around Tuscany. This was our second time here and will return!
Great location and incredible views, beautiful and historic building, friendly and helpful staff. Starting the day with the hotel's breakfast was the best.
