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.

The house is located in a country side, surrounded by wineyards and olive trees, on a hill, with a very picturesque view. There is a large free parking lot close to the house. The apartments were clean and spacious, very authentic. The host was great in communications, they also produce and cell the local wine and olive oil. We found a bottle of wine as a welcome on the desk.
Located 0.9 mi from Certaldo Train Station, Osteria Del Vicario offers a garden, free Wi-Fi and a restaurant service. The private bathroom features free toiletries and hairdryer.

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.
The place has been absolutely amazing. It was above our expectations as we had the whole place for ourselves. The view is fabulous, we were very lucky to have a swimming pool for ourselves which was cleaned every morning by Mauro. They have been extremely nice to us despite the language. We would have liked to talk in Italian to tell them how amazing is the place !
The place is perfectly equipped and located. We for example to the train in Certaldo to go to Florence which make our trip much better. We can only recommend staying at this place.
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!!!
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.
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 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!
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 !
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. 👍
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!
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!
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 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.
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.
Il Paluffo is a very nice place to stay in Tuscany. Great view and we loved the pool and the breakfast. Florence ja easy to reach by car and there are nice villages and restaurants near by.
Sweet spot in a gorgeous setting! We loved the lovely patio where you could eat breakfast overlooking the beautiful country side. Certaldo is such a quiet, pretty town worth visiting.
Great location and incredible views, beautiful and historic building, friendly and helpful staff. Starting the day with the hotel's breakfast was the best.
