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 literally stayed in a castle. Was amazing. 360 degree views from atop a tower. Quaint and quiet little town. Easy parking and access to the newer part of town. Lots of games. And the TOWER was sooooo cool!! We absolutely LOVED our stay. I would love to come back someday. Thank you.

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 of the apartment is great, when you open the window of the living room you have a fantastic view of old city of Certaldo! When you come out from the apartment, there is the markplace, where surrounded with lovely, small Italian delicatessens.
Everything(rooms, bed covers, towels, all kitchen stuff) was super clean, and Dear Elizabetta was thinking every small detail to make us feel like at home.
I highly recommend La Bellavista if you are planning to stay in Certaldo.
If I compare the price with other hotels we stayed in, the price is too high but the personnel is extremely good. Especially Francesca, Serena, Jessica and Mauro made our days really comfortable. So sweet, kind and always trying to make it better for you. We felt very welcomed by them. To management; these people deserve to stay and please, treasure those people. They are gold for this hotel. Pool was great. There was no cook so Mauro took over and tried to make the best of it.
Recently renovated apartment, 2 independent bedrooms - both with double beds and air conditioner, we were lucky and parked right in front of the apartment (but not always that easy), restaurants 2 min. walk. There is a kitchen with all that you might need to cook (all brand new). I hightly recomend. It is located in the lower Certaldo (not in the historical part). It was my birthday and the host even left me a little gift (they are really very nice and friendly people).
Amazing location in the heart of Certaldo alta, next to the funicular. Stunning bluilding, quod with amazing view, restaurant with delicious food and terrace view. Spacious and clean room and bathroom. Alfred was a lovely host. Very helpful to rearrange the dates of our stay due to travel problems we had, and shared tips on the town and countryside walk. We had an amazing and relaxing time!

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!
A beautiful family-owned agriturismo in the Tuscan landscape. Beautiful views, and from a walkable distance to Certaldo Alto. I received a wine from the agriturismo as a welcome gift. The family was very hospitable. Definitely recommend :)!
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 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.
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.
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.
Excellent service, very warm and comfortable room, perfect location and delicious breakfast. The most beautiful place to stay in certaldo, we couldn’t recommend it more!
