Review for stay from 18 June 2025 to 22 June 2025

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

Il nostro soggiorno è stato molto gradevole, sopratutto per la possibilità di pranzare sulla torre, da cui è possibile un magnifico panorama. Unico appunto per chi venisse senza macchina: non ci sono alimentari/supermercati a Certaldo alto. L’host è stato molto gentile con noi, consigliamo questo appartamento.

Het appartement is eenvoudig. Als je zelf uitgebreid wolt kokenis er onvoldoende keukengerei. Maar met een uistekende enoteca en een restaurant om de hoek is zelf koken niet nodig. Ook inhet dorp eneden kun je prima terecht voor een fijne maaltijd. Halverwege onsverblijfwerktw de afstandsbedieni gvan de toegangsdeur niet meer,maar gukkigwaren de deuren met een sleutel te openen. Heerlijke tijd gehad,wij komen zeker eens terug!

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

Persone gentili, appartamento decoroso, con mobili in stile, palazzo bello e prestigioso. Unica mancanza pentole, posate e asciugamani non all'altezza del contesto. Però direi che tutto sommato non posso lamentarmi e mi è passato bene la vacanza.

We had a great stay in Certaldo. The property was in a lovely site and sitting at the top of the tower watching the sun go down was very special. Jane was very helpful in suggesting good restaurants etc in the area to visit.

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.
