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.

The location is exceptional. This place is producing its own wine, and of course in order to taste the wine, the best thing you can do is eat in their restaurant. Now, that restaurant is also amazing. I had the pasta with the wine and it was really very very good. The breakfast is amazing. The view from the hill is fantastic. The swimming pool is very nice. And the staff is extremely kind and welcoming.

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 hotel is at the top of the steepest hill (honestly it’s horrendous) but if offered the most amazing views and is so quaint and picturesque. This felt so authentic and satisfied the most romanticised version of Italy you could ever imagine. Just be sure to use the funicular (tram) which takes you to the top - it’s very cheap).
The room was a nice size with a wonderful modern clean bathroom and powerful shower.
The owner was nice and gave us free water and the continental breakfast was very nice.
This place was absolutely beautiful!! The scenery was everything you could imagine Tuscany to be! The property was very clean and comfortable. The staff were amazing!! So accommodating and just really nice and personable. We dealt a lot with Martin at the reception desk. But everyone is really wonderful!! Also take one of the wine tours. The sommelier was amazing!! Very easy to talk with but extremely knowledgeable. Obviously can not say enough about this place. You just have to experience it!!!
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.
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.
such history and the location in Certaldo Alto is just amazing. Eric and Ele are just phenomenal hosts. We’re getting married there later this year, and can’t wait to celebrate the day on their stunning terrace, eating Ele’s beautiful food and we’re in no doubt it’ll be a special experience. Our room was perfect and a few days on we’re still reminiscing over Ele’s orange breakfast cake
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
Hotel il Castello is welcoming and decorated with style.
Friendly personal, jazzy atmosphere, medieval Italian style.
Great views on the valley from the bedroom window, up to San Gimignano.
Breakfast is complete and cappuccino's perfect.
There is a very romantic terasse with great views, where diner is served. 👍
Good breakfast. Lovely grounds and outside area. Proper hotel and good bike storage. Make sure you get up to the old town via the funicular. Superb and a great place or two to visit up there also plus some decent eateries - the lower town is largely to be missed
Lovely, quiet place. Great swimming pool. Very clean.
Staff very friendly, our plane departed late in afternoon, so they offered a late checkout. We wish to come back!
10-15 minutes by car to the village of Certaldo. Certaldo alto is beautiful!
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
Location is superb, if travelling by car. In the morning, I opened the bedroom window and see the scenery of San Gimignano and Tuscany landscape. There is also very good restaurant in the Certaldo village with tasty local cuisine.
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!
We had a wonderful time in Tuscany while staying in beautiful, picturesque Cosseta Guest House with our warm hosts Cosetta and Calaogero. We felt like it was our home and we hope we will be back soon.
Lovely apartment looking over Tuscany hills. The apartment had everything we needed and the balcony was lovely. Great communication throughout our stay.
