A delight. I arrived quite late, but I booked a dinner in advance. Prosecco......mmmmm
We were delighted with the service, breakfast (if you want vegetables or an omelette, just say it) if they have products, they will definitely serve you.
We were very pleased with the employee Ecaterina from Slovakia Piestany who offered great recommendations to visit around, thank you very much.

A beautiful town and wonderful BnB with a fantastic terrace overlooking beautiful Tuscan countryside. Cartaldo is a hill top town, so the property is well positioned and memorable sunset.

The location is exceptional. This place is producing its own wine, and of course in order to taste the wine, the best thing you can do is eat in their restaurant. Now, that restaurant is also amazing. I had the pasta with the wine and it was really very very good. The breakfast is amazing. The view from the hill is fantastic. The swimming pool is very nice. And the staff is extremely kind and welcoming.
Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Villa Humbourg is set in Certaldo. A hot tub is available for guests.

It was tremendously clean! Beautifully designed. The hosts were so helpful and thoughtful.
The old city is wonderful. Worth to visit. Good restaurants in the neighbourhood. I recommend to have a dinner in Marchese Val d’Elsa. View is stunning and food delicious. And the trip to go there is beautiful with absolutely great views. You need a car. It’s a 20 min trip.

Certaldo was the perfect place to stay in Chianti region of Tuscany. It had a train station so we could make our own way around to explore and sightsee. When visiting towns without a train, we took a taxi (NCC). Several people we met had rented cars and they found the area to be very drivable. Certaldo Basso (lower town) and Certaldo Alto (up the hill) are connected by scenic, natural walking paths and for those who prefer something easier, the very quaint Funiculare (1.5 Euro return). We stayed in Certaldo Alto, the historic centre of town. In addition to the fascinating museums - do not miss the Nail Museum - there are B & B's , apartments, and a lovely hotel. There are wonderful dining spaces inside and outside, bars and the wonderful Gelateria! In terms of crowds, there were occasional groups of tourists in Certaldo Alto but many times we were the only people walking down the cobbled roads in the middle of the day. The peace and quiet was most welcome after the throngs of people in Florence and Siena. Certaldo is a very special place. nestled in the heart of Tuscany.

This Medieval Borgo ranks among the most important in Italy...
This Medieval Borgo ranks among the most important in Italy for its history and access to both Florence and Siena. Additionally, this town is the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio and his featured in his major literature piece, The Decameron.
The new part of town is accessible with simple 10 minutes walks or via a mini railway (for a charge of €1,50); but you can also drive, thanks to the host who will manage getting the required permits.
Certaldo is very small but it sits at the crossroad of major communication roads, therefore it's easy to access Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, and even Pisa.

It's very pretty hilltop settlement but you can see everything in half an hour. The funicular is fun but a little restrictive if you need to leave early. There are some great restaurants. It's the ideal stop-off for lunch if you are traveling back to Pisa from further south in Tuscany but not a great base for wider exploration.

Certaldo is very beautiful! Go to see the old town.
Certaldo is very beautiful! Go to see the old town. There is enough space for parking near the funicolare, the transport up hill.
Certaldo is central for visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra and Florence. And you'll be driving through the most romantic landscape.

We visited the old city of Certaldo in 2 hours.
We visited the old city of Certaldo in 2 hours. New part not much shopping or restaurants. Supermarket we visited as we had a kitchen and stayed 5km out. Close to other old towns worth visiting like Volterra.
We bought olive oil and wine from our accomodation which we loved.
Great hotel. Initially we found it hard to find parking at the free parking area near the funicular railway station, as there was a weekend market in the parking area. We contacted the hotel, and we were then able to drive into the ZTL to unload our cases at the hotel. Alfred, the host then showed us the location for free parking nearby. The hotel was excellent and well maintained. The room was fine and very clean. There is a good restaurant at the hotel. Certaldo is a fascinating small historic town. We enjoyed our stay, here.
This place was absolutely beautiful!! The scenery was everything you could imagine Tuscany to be! The property was very clean and comfortable. The staff were amazing!! So accommodating and just really nice and personable. We dealt a lot with Martin at the reception desk. But everyone is really wonderful!! Also take one of the wine tours. The sommelier was amazing!! Very easy to talk with but extremely knowledgeable. Obviously can not say enough about this place. You just have to experience it!!!
Elisabetta is the warmest, most gracious host you could hope for. Everything went incredibly smoothly, the property is generous, modern, fully equipped and perfectly located centrally. Every detail of the experience was prepared with great care and attention. The host even helped us carry the luggage, find an EV charging station, and much more. I highly recommend La Bellavista Decameron View as a perfect base to anyone visiting Tuscany, San Gimignano, and the Chianti area.
such history and the location in Certaldo Alto is just amazing. Eric and Ele are just phenomenal hosts. We’re getting married there later this year, and can’t wait to celebrate the day on their stunning terrace, eating Ele’s beautiful food and we’re in no doubt it’ll be a special experience. Our room was perfect and a few days on we’re still reminiscing over Ele’s orange breakfast cake
We wanted a quiet villa in Tuscany…we got that in this 500 yr old…well maintained…working farm/villa. Our hostess was so welcoming and encouraged us to be “at home” there. Good breakfast a d on one night Simona cooked us a fabulous candlelight Tuscan meal to enjoy under the huge chestnut tree.
The wine they produce was some of the best I have had. It was so beautiful there
We had a two-bedroom house facing the swimming pool. The view on Tuscany hills was amazing! It was very quiet and relaxing. The house itself is clean, the garden and the swimming pool are well cared of. the beds were very comfortable. You will need a car to access this property. Florence is 1 hour away, Pisa 30 minutes, San Gimigano 20 minutes, Certaldo 5 minutes by car.
I loved this apartment. It was beautifully restored, thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. The bed was cozy, the kitchen very well furnished and stocked and Elisabetta is a wonderful host. She even met me in my way from the train station and took me to the apartment. If you come to Certaldo I highly recommend the Bellavista
Great location in town. Opposite the train station. Easy to get to old town.
Owner was nice and very friendly. Slight language barrier but that is our fault for not knowing enough Italian.
We had free parking and it felt really safe and really quiet.
Nice breakfast opposite the hotel. We loved it. Thank you!
We LOVED absolutely everything about this place. The location is exactly what we have dreamed about Tuscany, the kids loved the surroundings, the breakfast was DELICIOUS, we loved drinking our coffee outside at the gardens and okay chess. It was the best choice in our “
your de italy “ - we will definitely come back !
We loved everything about the property! This is a large, beautiful bed and breakfast home in Certaldo! It looks like stepping into the pages of a fairy tale! High ceilings, beautifully decorated rooms, very comfortable beds, and overall just perfect! Thankful for their great hospitality, as well!
We loved to stay here for a few days in the old city of Certaldo Alto. Many thanks to the very friendly, helpful and responsive host Nicola. Parking nearby was included. Very spacious apartment and well equipped kitchen. Wonderful view from the terrace.
Great location. We traveled to Certaldo Alto for my brother in law’s wedding. The location was great. The accommodation had everything we needed and more with a baby crib. I would recommend to anyone and would stay here again. Lovely place!
The host was very friendly, he responded to all of our questions. The place is in the middle of the old town of Certaldo, a very nice place. We were in December and we had no problems with the heat. For the price, you cannot ask for more.
Loved staying in an old medieval tower but with a modern, well designed interior. Perfect location in the old, upper part of Certaldo. Comfortable bed and fabulous views from the bedroom balcony! Friendly staff and great value.
The charm of staying in a medieval building. We loved the decorating of the rooms. Everything was super clean. We loved being in the heart of Certaldo and right around the corner from a great restaurant that Sasha recommended.
Sweet spot in a gorgeous setting! We loved the lovely patio where you could eat breakfast overlooking the beautiful country side. Certaldo is such a quiet, pretty town worth visiting.
