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

The pictures don’t do this property justice! Gorgeous gardens with plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the quiet and the greenery. The house itself feels like a castle but with all the mod cons. Spacious bedrooms and living areas, plenty of bathrooms, 2 showers and a jacuzzi! We enjoyed everything and highly highly recommend!!

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.
The most pleasing aspect was the service - the staff were amazing - particularly the lady who looked after the bar/food area (I believe her name was Francesca), she was constantly attentive and available. The other staff were great, but she provided quite simply the best customer service that I have ever experienced in a hotel.
The rooms were modern and spotlessly clean. The aircon was very welcome; the weather was very warm outside. Would thoroughly recommend the hotel.
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.
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 home was absolutely lovely. Very well decorated and spacious. The location was great, just a couple blocks away from the main square and a 10 min walk to the historical center of Certaldo. The host was extremely nice and tentative. I really loved visiting this town and could not have picked a better place to stay! 10/10!
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!

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!
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!
I had eaten at this Osteria before and it was delicious. The stay was comparable! It is well situated and incredibly beautiful. The host, Eric, was kind and very helpful. Certaldo Alto is a little gem and the Osteria del Vicario the best place to 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!
There is a fantastic accommodation for my trip. The room is classic with adequate facilities. You could have a wine testing or drink wine in many area with different atmospheres as you like. The view from the hotel also very good.
Beautiful renovated appartment on a great location with view on the old city of Certaldo. Fully equipped, nothing was missing. Elisabetta is a warm, enthousiastic host. She did everything to make our stay memorable.
This is a really beautiful place with extraordinary view of Tuscany, you can spot San Gimignano's towers on a neighbouring hill, and can enjoy the sunsets just behind another.
