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.

Dead in the centre of the old town area, run by a lovely couple who do everything to make sure you have a good stay. The room was comfortable, breakfast was lovely (the view is fab) and we also ate dinner there and thought the food was wonderful. Only stayed one night but would definitely recommend to others.
In the heart of the Chianti hills, 35 km from Florence and 6 km from Certaldo, you will find on the summit of a hill, Fattoria Bacìo with its 340 acres of olive groves, and vineyards.

We had a fantastic stay at Fattoria Bacio. The property and surroundings are beautiful and so peaceful. The staff was lovely (thank you Alexandra for your friendliness and fun chats!). The food was great. The room was very spacious and quiet. The swimming pool is lovely and the view from it is stunning. We'll happily come back!

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.
The location of Il Pucchio was wonderful - beautiful surroundings and views. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, and the pool was amazing - just what was needed after a day out exploring Tuscany. We used the train from Certaldo to reach a number of towns - San Gimgnano, Siena - and Certaldo Alta (the old town) was one of our favourite places.
Our hosts were extremely welcoming and kind, and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable.
It was a lovely, quiet, private property, and we can't wait to go back.
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.
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 appartment was as it looks in the pictures and even better.
It is spacious, beautiful, with a fully equiped kitchen and a wonderful balcony.
Nicolas, the, host is very helpful
Certaldo is calm with just the right amount of visitors during the day, with great places to visit and to eat and have a glass of wine, very conventiently located for easy visits to other places in Tuscany
A spectacular B&B located on the top of Certaldo old town. A rather small but very nice and clean room and bathroom without AC. A marvelous terrace with THE VIEW !!! The breakfast had everything we wanted .We did not had dinner at the restaurant. The owner , Erik , took very good care of us and we can highly recommend to stay here when you are in Certaldo !
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!
Authentic Italian hotel.
very clean.
Good selection at breakfast.
Good quality food in the evening.
Friendly staff.
There is a lovely woman who works as a waitress/kitchen staff, long dark hair, extremely helpful and friendly. We couldn’t remember her name but she is a credit to the hotel.
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 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.
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!
Comfortable and clean room. Shared bathroom was close by. Pretty and quiet area. Friendly owner. Free parking space right next to the house. 10 min drive from Certaldo
Lovely apartment looking over Tuscany hills. The apartment had everything we needed and the balcony was lovely. Great communication throughout our stay.
