During this period of the year the access to the internal courtyard for parking is not possible.

At guests disposal: guests have access to a beautiful tower (common room) overlooking the roofs of the ancient town and offering splendid panoramic views over the surrounding landscape and San Gimignano in the distance. This tower is furnished with tables and chairs and in summer it also provides sun-beds. Wi-fi internet access (free of charge). All of the apartments provide mosquito nets and fans in the bedrooms.
Parking.
Extra Services: Baby bed upon request (free of charge). Maid service available by arrangement (€ 10,- / per hour to be paid locally). Transfer service available by a 6 or a 9-seat minvan (rates upon request).

Wunderschöner Palazzo inmitten historischer Altstadt (in direkter Nachbarschaft von Giovanni Boccacios Sterbehaus), liebevoll saniert, mit Ausichtsturm!!! Blick bis San Gimignano. Bezaubernd! Mobiliar ausreichend und geschmackvoll, Bad schön mit WM. Parken im Hof. Standseilbahn vor der Tür. Man lebt dort sehr intim und gediegen. [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Beautiful Palazzo in the middle of the historic old town (in the immediate vicinity of Giovanni Boccacio's death house), lovingly restored, with watch tower View to San Gimignano. Glamorous! Furniture adequate and tastefully, bathroom nice. Parking in the yard. Funicular in front of the door. You live there very intimate and stylish.

Esperienza al di sopra di ogni aspettativa. L'appartamento è all'interno di una fortificazione medioevale, con affaccio sulla Valle. Pulitissimo e dotato di ogni servizio ha, di pertinenza, UNA TORRE! Fare colazione sulla sommità di una torre medioevale di avvistamento è davvero impagabile. Il silenzio e la pace sono garantiti dalla collocazione in un borgo antico ma non sfruttato dal turismo di massa

Bonito apartamento cómodo y buena atención por parte de Jane. Tener acceso a la torre y subir a la torre al atardecer a tomar una copa de vino, era ideal. Estuvimos muy agusto, el pueblo de Certaldo alto nos encantó. muy recomendable!

Good location for Tuscany's trip starting for, through the Val d'Elsa, the Chianti's roads and those very very charming buildings and towers of Volterra and San Gimignano. The host (Jane) was very gentle and exhaustive. the apartment comfortable, the overall structure an ancient and characteristic construction from the old medieval age.

Sehr schön saniertes Objekt, mit einfacher, jedoch zweckmäßig ausgestatteter Ferienwohnung. Die Anfahrtsbeschreibung passt nicht ganz: die elektronische Schranke an der Zufahrt zur Altstadt ist nicht in Betrieb. Die Durchfahrt ist somit möglich, eine Abholung von dort wird nicht erfolgen. [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very nice renovated apartment, with simple, but functional equipment. The directions do not quite fit: the electronic barrier at the entrance to the old town is not in operation. The passage is thus possible, a pickup from there will not take place.

Considérant l'accès plutôt compliqué à notre appartement, un deuxième trousseau de clés aurait été nécessaire. L'équipement de la cuisine est moins que minimal. Il fallait se déplacer près de l'appartement du propriétaire pour avoir accès à l'Internet. Les lieux sont cependant charmants et propres. [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Considering the rather complicated access to our apartment, a second set of keys would have been necessary. The equipment of the kitchen is less than minimal. It was necessary to move near the apartment of the owner to have access to the Internet. However charming and clean.

The apartment was better than expected based on website information. We were treated very well by the owners and appreciated their service and interest in us. Driving to this property is very challenging as it is in a 'no car' zone. The directions I received on the booking form were inadequate and some of the information no longer applies. Please revise this part of the info package. [note from Easy Reserve: The directions have been updated]

Beautyfull landscape and architecture, we were treated like king and queen, so close to transportation yet so far from tourist joint, this place was more than just a one night stand! Appartment is so comfortable and clean, people are so nice. Reserve early and get an appartment here you will remember all your life. Stay several days and take the train to Firenze or Sienna (leave the car there, it is so easy with the train) and don't forget Sangimigiano! ... so much to see in Toscany! Start with Certaldo Alto!

Wspaniałe miejsce w starym miasteczku na wzgórzu, piękny widok z apartamentu na miasto (nowe Certaldo) a z sypialni na prawdziwą Toskanię (winnice i gaje oliwne-zdjęcie dołączone do komentarza). Stare Certaldo w którym położony jest apartament ujął nas swoim sielskim klimatem i zabytkami na wyciągnięcie ręki (m.in. dom w którym mieszkał Boccacio-twórca Dekamerona). Właściciele bardzo pomocni, przyjaźni i kompetentni.

Glorious surroundings, absolutely fabulous welcome. Just amazing. The owner picked us up from the train station, his wife is lovely, a real character. She introduced us to the townsfolk and we couldn't have been made more welcome, in too many ways to say here. I am a single parent travelling with my teenage sons and they made us feel like we had found a second home - everywhere you look is beuaty and you are surrounded by warm, lovely people. Magnifico! The Palace is the most beautiful place I've ever been - really. Amazing. The funiculor is exquisite - obviously I can't praise this place highly enough.
