Review for stay from 09 September 2019 to 19 September 2019

We stayed in Certaldo for two weeks, and it couldn't have been any better! This place is paradise, and the apartment is a part of it. Being welcomed by our very friendly and helpful host Jane we checked the beautiful medieval village of Certaldo Alto, which is situated on a hill above the newer built village and a cosy world of it's own with nice restaurants, places to have a good wine and very gentle people making our holiday an outstanding trip. You can reach all of the sites you wish to see (as San Gimignano or Siena) easily by car and afterwards return to your silent home. An absolute highlight was the tower, which can be used by any guests of the house and which offers a dream-like view on the village and the surrounding beautiful landscape. Nothing could have been better, thanks a lot to Jane and her family to make it an unforgettable holiday!

Review for stay from 18 April 2018 to 22 May 2018

The owner was amazing but the overall comfort was lacking, the bed was hard it was like a box spring without a mattress and the lack of hot water was very inconvenient and although the size of the room was perfect it was very damp feeling, I wish we would have had a dehumidifier. The location was perfectly located with the train station just down the hill next to a great place for a pastry and coffee.

Sehr saubere, nette und helle Unterkunft in der Altstadt von Certaldo. Parkmöglichkeit im Innenhof direkt bei der Unterkunft. Die Vermieterin war sehr nett und hat sich auch bemüht mit Tips und Empfehlungen unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Von ihr kam auch ein Tip für eine Weinverkostung auf einem kleinen nahe gelegenen Weingut. Dort verbrachten wir in angenehmer Gesellschaft bei hervorragendem Essen und Wein einen tollen Abend. [English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very clean, nice and bright accommodation in the old town of Certaldo. Parking in the courtyard directly at the property. The landlady was very nice and has also made an effort to make our stay pleasant with tips and recommendations. From her came a tip for a wine tasting on a small nearby winery. There we spent a great evening in pleasant company with excellent food and wine.

L'appartement est très sympa, la propriété est superbe et Certaldo Alto est un très joli village typique! Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable ! La propriété est un véritable "palazzo". Le fait de pouvoir se garer sans problème dans la cour du palais est un vrai luxe. La propriétaire, qui vit sur place, est très sympathique, accueillante et bavarde ;o) ! Certaldo est très bien placé pour visiter la Toscane. La ville basse par contre n'est pas très jolie mais ça n'a pas d'importance : une fois dans le village haut, c'est magique !!

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.

Review for stay from 27 April 2013 to 11 May 2013

"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. Leanne - Sydney, Australia
