Certaldo 2
Average Villa Review Rating DetailsConsidérant l'accès plutôt compliqué à notre appartement, un deuxième trousseau de clés aurait été nécessaire. L'équipement de la cuisine est moins que minimal. Il fallait se déplacer près de l'appartement du propriétaire pour avoir accès à l'Internet.
Les lieux sont cependant charmants et propres.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsSehr saubere, nette und helle Unterkunft in der Altstadt von Certaldo.
Parkmöglichkeit im Innenhof direkt bei der Unterkunft.
Die Vermieterin war sehr nett und hat sich auch bemüht mit Tips und Empfehlungen unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten.
Von ihr kam auch ein Tip für eine Weinverkostung auf einem kleinen nahe gelegenen Weingut. Dort verbrachten wir in angenehmer Gesellschaft bei hervorragendem Essen und Wein einen tollen Abend.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsL'appartement est très sympa, la propriété est superbe et Certaldo Alto est un très joli village typique! Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable ! La propriété est un véritable "palazzo". Le fait de pouvoir se garer sans problème dans la cour du palais est un vrai luxe.
La propriétaire, qui vit sur place, est très sympathique, accueillante et bavarde ;o) !
Certaldo est très bien placé pour visiter la Toscane. La ville basse par contre n'est pas très jolie mais ça n'a pas d'importance : une fois dans le village haut, c'est magique !!Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

A Very good location in the town, Jane was very helpful and pointed us in the direction of events in the town. Down side is probably lack of a terrace to the appartment but it is possible to sit outside at the top of the tower or in the courtyard. We had a low slung car and could not get it over the entrance into the courtyard. Had to park in the new town and use the funicular.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThis is delightful apartment with a delightful host. The property is in excellent order and the views from the living room and bedroom are gorgeous. Great security as access to the courtyard is by remote controlled gate. Easy access with a car. At least two (we only ate at two; one twice) restaurants within 3 minutes walk of the front door. Highly recommended. Our only challenge was being unfamiliar with Italian addresses we found the property difficult to find as our GPS wouldn't accept the official address. Bill W. New Zealand.

Excellent Villa Review Rating Details"The setting of Certaldo Alto is a great spot for soaking in the culture of Tuscany. It was a medieval town and still has an air of antiquity about it. The Guesthouse Boccaccio was perfectly situated, just a few steps from an enoteca (wine bar) and less than 3 minutes' walk to several great restaurants and attractions. The views from our room and the surrounding castle were breathtaking. The owner is a nice lady and was very helpful to us while we stayed there. They arranged for us to be picked up at the train station via private car, and dropped off at the train station when we departed. Overall, I am well pleased with our stay in Certaldo.
Positive comment: The view from our room, the convenience to restaurants and attractions, the cleanliness of the room. We had a full kitchen but didn't really use it.
Negative Comment: The wifi signal was a little weak, but adequate. We had to climb a flight of stairs with our luggage, but nothing too difficult. I believe they have a room on the ground floor, but I'd check if you have mobility issues.
Try out the pizza at Da Messer Boccaccio - it was fantastic. Cap off the night at Enoteca Boccaccio (just across the street.) The nearby restaurant, Il Castello, has breathtaking views from the patio and great food. The owner (Ms. Jane) speaks some English, but if you know a bit of Italian you'll probably have an easier time communicating. Also, don't try to walk from the train station to the Guesthouse on foot, if you have bags - you'll have a hard time. Either arrange for a car/taxi or use the funiculare (small train that takes you up the hill.) Once you've left your bags, getting around is easy, but be aware there are some fairly steep hills to climb".Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse immensely. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy and the Tuscany area. The owner, Jane Cucini, was the perfect host. The villa was five star accomodation in a ten star location. A very minor incovenience was not having a washing machine however this was overcome by using the laundromat next to the supermarket while we bought our groceries.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThe apartment was better than expected based on website information. We were treated very well by the owners and appreciated their service and interest in us.
Driving to this property is very challenging as it is in a 'no car' zone. The directions I received on the booking form were inadequate and some of the information no longer applies. Please revise this part of the info package.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThe apartment was fabulous and in a great location. Certaldo is not as touristy as other towns, so you can take advantage of the great restaurants, beautiful sights and architecture without the crowds. Certaldo is a great home base for exploring other nearby towns. We didn't rent a car, and got everywhere we wanted to go by train (the train station is within easy walking distance of the apartment). Jane the owner was very helpful, and the apartment itself was wonderful.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsUn acceuil extraordinaire. L'appartement est situé dans un palais lui même au coeur d' un superbe petit village médiéval perché et positionné idéalement entre toutes les curiosités de la Toscane. Accès au village des véhicules réglementes, parking privé dans la cour du palais, funiculaire pour descendre dans la nouvelle ville, terrasse commune au sommet d'une tour du palais avec vue à 360 degrés sur la Toscane. Appartement vaste très propre, tout confort. L'accueil par la propriétaire est fantastique, tout les plans nécessaire pour la toscane sont disponible en arrivant dans l'appartement ainsi que 2 bouteilles de vin de bienvenue ! La propriétaire a même invité l'ensemble des occupants des différents appartements dans un restaurant gargantuesque où nous avons passé un moment inoubliable!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsGuesthouse Boccaccio was a perfect location from which to experience Tuscany. Everything about Guesthouse Boccaccio was more than we could have hoped for.
We made new friends, ate wonderful food and fell in love with the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and the charming city of Certaldo.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe spent four wonderful days at this villa in April. It was very easy to get to, whether by car or train. The villa was clean, spacious, airy and had all that we needed. The tower terrace where we could sit and relax also gave great views of the surrounding countryside. We hired a car locally to explore other towns. Certaldo Alto had plenty of charm of its own and it was such a treat in such a small village to find a good selection of restaurants, cafes and gelato bars to choose from.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThis is classic! It's not actually a castle, well kind of a castle. Travel is complicated so a car is prefered. The tram down to the town is regular in the summer so travel is complicated. Jan's English is not as good as her Portugese or Italian but we love her. Thank you Jan. We stayed 2 extra days and had to change rooms (our fault we didn't realize we would like it this much). Il Dolphin restaurant in town became our second home. They are friendly and the food is inexpensive and wonderful. A half liter of house chianti is 3 euros, and it's wonderful. We are already planning a return trip. So include them in your plans but be nice to our friends. The Wi-fi is weak, Yes there are things to complain about. BUT the people and the wonderful room and the wonderful environment make it exceptional. See the forest, dont look at the trees. Luv You Jan.

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!

El lugar excepcional, los acceso con el resto de la Toscana muy buenos. La calidad humana de los propietarios y las atenciones recibidas por su parte, maravillosas. Se agradece muchísimo.
Si quieres disfrutar de la Toscana, pero relajarte a partir de cierta hora de la tarde, cenar y disfrutar de un lugar fuera de este mundo, casi como si estuvieses ne la Edad Media, ... No lo dudes, además te acogerán como a un amigo.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

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.
