The wine they produce was some of the best I have had. It was so beautiful there

We had a lovely stay here!
The rooms were clean and comfortable, the place has character (in a good way!), it felt unique, comfortable and cozy. It added to our overall experience in Certaldo Alto and the area in general. The breakfasts were delicious, and were lucky to dine in their restaurant one evening for a delicious vegan meal. Enjoying the views and perhaps a spritz from the terrace was also enjoyable. Erik was a wonderful, kind host always available to help with anything or offer recommendations. Thank you!

We literally stayed in a castle. Was amazing. 360 degree views from atop a tower. Quaint and quiet little town. Easy parking and access to the newer part of town. Lots of games. And the TOWER was sooooo cool!! We absolutely LOVED our stay. I would love to come back someday. Thank you.
Relais Borgo Elissa is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in Certaldo where guests can make the most of its infinity pool and garden. A solarium is available for guests.
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.
We loved this property! It was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and in a great location. We were able to walk to coffee shops, great restaurants, and historical Certaldo Alto. We loved how friendly Elisabetta was to us. She met us there to give us the keys and walk us through the property. She also offered to be “family” to our daughter who is studying abroad there through East Carolina University. When we were leaving, she met is to collect the keys and tell us goodbye. It is evident that she cares that people enjoy their stay there.
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.
The location is amazing, with stunning views. The pool is fantastic, with an amazing view towards Certaldo and San Giminiano. Simona and all the other staff are very friendly and helpful. We travelled with children and it was great that they had so much space to explore and run about. We had a ground floor apartment and it was way more spacious than we expected. We really liked the breakfast. Also the wine was delicious! Many thanks for everything, hopefully we can come back one day. :)
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.
Our room - Rosemary - had just an amazing view, wonderful seating area , comfy bed , and a terrific shower. The location , in the heart of Certaldo , cant be beat . The host Sasha , sent us all the info we needed to drive in to the LTZ , unload , and park . Excellent communication , and a nice breakfast. Probably the prettiest view we had in our days in Tuscany - it was a shame we only stayed one night. Certaldo is charming , well worth a visit off the beaten path.

Authentic Italian hotel.
very clean.
Good selection at breakfast.
Good quality food in the evening.
Friendly staff.
There is a lovely woman who works as a waitress/kitchen staff, long dark hair, extremely helpful and friendly. We couldn’t remember her name but she is a credit to the hotel.
The hotel is located perfectly in the old town. The room was large, clean and ideal for our needs. The hosts were fantastic and gave us excellent instructions on how to find the hotel. The breakfast was amazing. One of the highlights of our stay. Would definitely recommend!
I had eaten at this Osteria before and it was delicious. The stay was comparable! It is well situated and incredibly beautiful. The host, Eric, was kind and very helpful. Certaldo Alto is a little gem and the Osteria del Vicario the best place to stay!
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 welcoming, she went above and beyond to help us and provide information about Certaldo and the wider area. The apartment was very clean and was well equipped. .
I will recommend La Torretta to friends and family.
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.
We drove by car to this place and stayed for 4 days. In the mornings the host made us breakfast herself. The hospitality is great. The place is really authentic and in the middle of the old town Certaldo.
Comfortable and clean room. Shared bathroom was close by. Pretty and quiet area. Friendly owner. Free parking space right next to the house. 10 min drive from Certaldo
