About this apartment rental

All of the 3 units have been recently restored and offer nicely furnished and cozy interiors. At their arrival, guests staying at Certaldo will be given a permission allowing them to drive to their apartment and make use of a parking situated in an internal courtyard near the apartments. During the month of July (approx. 10 days) there is a very nice “festival” (“named Mercantia”) taking place in the historical centre of Certaldo Alto (the oldest part of the town), where local artists and artisans show their works until late at the night. During this period of the year the access to the internal courtyard for parking is not possible.

We loved this property. It is simply but comfortably furnished, exactly as shown in the pictures, and was a very pleasant place to stay for a few days. We really appreciated the high ceilings, shutters, and air-con, which helped keep the apartment cool in a hot week, and the sofa-bed was surprisingly comfy! The tower is a very cool extra with great views, and the location is fabulous - right in the heart of Certaldo Aldo, which was pleasingly peaceful compared with some other better-known Tuscan towns but utterly lovely, and with some great places to eat just a minute or two's walk from the apartment. Jane was a helpful and friendly host, and we found it a great base for a few days exploring the delights of Tuscany. Definitely recommended.

You‘ll get a private flat in a historic castle, which is located in the small, medieval town of Certaldo alto. It is really cool. Couple restaurants, we loved the pizzeria Messer de Boccaccio close by. Make sure to shop lots of water before you come, since the tap doesn‘t taste great and there are no grocery stores nearby. We really enjoyed our stay! Oh, highlight is the tower you have access to. Priceless sunsets with good Chianti wine up there
