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.
In the heart of the Chianti hills, 22 miles from Florence and 4 miles from Certaldo, you will find Fattoria Bacìo with its 340 acres of olive groves, and vineyards.

We wanted a quiet villa in Tuscany…we got that in this 500 yr old…well maintained…working farm/villa. Our hostess was so welcoming and encouraged us to be “at home” there. Good breakfast a d on one night Simona cooked us a fabulous candlelight Tuscan meal to enjoy under the huge chestnut tree.
The wine they produce was some of the best I have had. It was so beautiful there

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!

Everything was perfect. Amazing sommelier and wine tasting, great help coordinating electric bike rentals and massages, astounding grounds and views, and the panoramic room exceeded all expectations. Also — I’ve never stayed at a better smelling property. What a hidden gem!

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.

As soon as you enter Certaldo Alto, this wonderful fairy tale begins. The village is as authentic as can be, the accommodation fits seamlessly into it. Owner Sasha is like all the other villagers, friendly and helpful. The rooms of her accommodation are atmospheric and fully equipped, the breakfast is very extensive. It is a great base for exploring the area, Antica Torre del Borgo added the max value to our Tuscan roadtrip. Loved it!!
The bedroom was clean as were the public areas. Good facilities in the garden including a small swimming pool. The hotel is in the process of converting an adjacent building into a restraunt so hopefully this helps with meal times. Hotel is about 10 minutes walk from both the funicular and local railway station in a quiet location. Enjoyable continental breakfast with any amount of tea or coffee as required. Good free wifi
Everything was fine. We never met the host, as there was a self check-in, but he was always in touch providing all necessary information, and we did not feel neglected in our trip. Huge apartment, nice kitchen fully equipped, good beds. Certaldo is worth seeing by itself, and we had great daily trips around (San Gimignano, Siena, Florence are within one hour of reach by train). It was a nice stay for a short vacation.
The location was superb, being a few minutes walk to the station and an equal distance to the funicular to reach Certaldo Alto. I am gluten intolerant and the lovely lady owner went out of her way to provide rice cakes and plum cakes, in addition to the yoghurt and preserves. The staff were superb, very attentive and welcoming. I would not hesitate to recommend this Guest House.
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
The hotel is located perfectly in the old town. The room was large, clean and ideal for our needs. The hosts were fantastic and gave us excellent instructions on how to find the hotel. The breakfast was amazing. One of the highlights of our stay. Would definitely recommend!
Location is great: you are a few mtrs from Certaldo station and the cablecar that brings you up in the medieval town. Room is pretty bog, very clean and spacious. Details of decor might seem a bit outdated but this doesn't influence your stay
Great location. We traveled to Certaldo Alto for my brother in law’s wedding. The location was great. The accommodation had everything we needed and more with a baby crib. I would recommend to anyone and would stay here again. Lovely place!
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.
The charm of staying in a medieval building. We loved the decorating of the rooms. Everything was super clean. We loved being in the heart of Certaldo and right around the corner from a great restaurant that Sasha recommended.
Fantastic location with 360 degree panoramic views of Tuscany. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Very pleasant staff. Within easy reach (by car) of many beautiful medieval cities such as Certaldo Alto, Sam Gimignano..
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!
