Nous avons passé une semaine exceptionnelle à Certaldo. Le village est magnifique, les habitants sont d'une gentillesse et d'une politesse propre aux Italiens. L'appartement était très grand, conforme à la description et d'une propreté impeccable. Madame Jane était très gentille et très aimable. Tout était parfait. Nous reviendrons sans hésité. Quelle belle région.

After the awkward check in, our stay was very comfortable. The apartment was in an ancient building, comfortable and perfectly located. It comes with its own tower, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at sunset.

This is delightful apartment with a delightful host. The property is in excellent order and the views from the living room and bedroom are gorgeous. Great security as access to the courtyard is by remote controlled gate. Easy access with a car. At least two (we only ate at two; one twice) restaurants within 3 minutes walk of the front door. Highly recommended. Our only challenge was being unfamiliar with Italian addresses we found the property difficult to find as our GPS wouldn't accept the official address. Bill W. New Zealand.

"The setting of Certaldo Alto is a great spot for soaking in the culture of Tuscany. It was a medieval town and still has an air of antiquity about it. The Guesthouse Boccaccio was perfectly situated, just a few steps from an enoteca (wine bar) and less than 3 minutes' walk to several great restaurants and attractions. The views from our room and the surrounding castle were breathtaking. The owner is a nice lady and was very helpful to us while we stayed there. They arranged for us to be picked up at the train station via private car, and dropped off at the train station when we departed. Overall, I am well pleased with our stay in Certaldo. Positive comment: The view from our room, the convenience to restaurants and attractions, the cleanliness of the room. We had a full kitchen but didn't really use it. Negative Comment: The wifi signal was a little weak, but adequate. We had to climb a flight of stairs with our luggage, but nothing too difficult. I believe they have a room on the ground floor, but I'd check if you have mobility issues. Try out the pizza at Da Messer Boccaccio - it was fantastic. Cap off the night at Enoteca Boccaccio (just across the street.) The nearby restaurant, Il Castello, has breathtaking views from the patio and great food. The owner (Ms. Jane) speaks some English, but if you know a bit of Italian you'll probably have an easier time communicating. Also, don't try to walk from the train station to the Guesthouse on foot, if you have bags - you'll have a hard time. Either arrange for a car/taxi or use the funiculare (small train that takes you up the hill.) Once you've left your bags, getting around is easy, but be aware there are some fairly steep hills to climb".

The apartment was fabulous and in a great location. Certaldo is not as touristy as other towns, so you can take advantage of the great restaurants, beautiful sights and architecture without the crowds. Certaldo is a great home base for exploring other nearby towns. We didn't rent a car, and got everywhere we wanted to go by train (the train station is within easy walking distance of the apartment). Jane the owner was very helpful, and the apartment itself was wonderful.

We spent four wonderful days at this villa in April. It was very easy to get to, whether by car or train. The villa was clean, spacious, airy and had all that we needed. The tower terrace where we could sit and relax also gave great views of the surrounding countryside. We hired a car locally to explore other towns. Certaldo Alto had plenty of charm of its own and it was such a treat in such a small village to find a good selection of restaurants, cafes and gelato bars to choose from. Jane went above all expectations. Our luggage was delayed and we were without clothes for three days. She was willing to lend T-shirts to our son. Her husband was willing to drive us to the station on our departure day because the funicular didn't operate that early.

Très bon accueil. Calme, authentique, bon rapport qualité prix. Bel endroit très bien situé pour séjourner et découvrir la Toscane environnante. La pizzéria situé près du gîte est à recommander.
