La Bellavista Toscana

I knew this apartment came with a wonderful host before I arrived - Elisabetta is informative, helpful, fun, friendly and keen to ensure her guests have an amazing time in Certaldo/Tuscany. She is so well suited to the role and gave me (as a solo female traveller) so much confidence and so many great suggestions for how to truly embrace the concept of 'slow travel'. The apartment is beautiful. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the terrace and watching village life in the piazza below. It's also very well located - a short flat walk to the train station, across the piazza from the funicular and close to pizzerias, gelato bars, alimentari and more. Highly recommend a stay in this apartment.

Elisabetta was a most gracious and attentive hostess - she provided for all our needs. The location was lovely, on the piazza in a Tuscan town - right next to a church. The church bells rang, we opened our windows to the lively piazza, with cafes, restaurants and children playing.

The GPS brought us to a different location in the city - suggest using other city marker points for meeting up. Watch for the no drive zones in city center.

We (a family with two kids) stayed for 3 nights and we are glad that we used this place as our hub, traveling around Tuscany. Elisabetta, the host, was very kind and anticipating and always available if we had a question. She even went to see us in the furnicula to say goodbye personally. We really enjoyed the stay and the quaint town. Thanks for your hospitality.

The apartment is in a perfect location, close to train, city centre and base of funicular to get to the old town. It was beautifully presented, comfortable beds and plenty of space for our group of 3. Our house Elisabetta was fantastic and gave us great tips on where to eat and drink. Highly recommend!
