The building dates back to the 1300's and is really cool and in character. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. They offer a vegan tasting menu for dinner which we also booked and were blown away. Not cheap, but highly recommended, and considering the meal and the effort that obviously goes into it, really good value. Breakfast was also exceptional. We had this on an external verandah with a brilliant view across the valley. Certaldo is a fantastic old hilltop village dating back to the 1100's and walking its streets and little allies is brilliant. There are several wonderful museums and crafty shops as well. A great place to visit and I couldn't recommend a better place to stay while there.

Nothing comes to mind!

My daughter and I had to travel to Certaldo for a concert, an we found this lovely inn to stay at. We had such a comfortable stay, and the price was so reasonable. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed, in particular, was very comfy. The only thing missing was air conditioning, but that wasn't a problem for us. We know that you can't have everything when you want to stay in a beautiful, historic building. The outside dining area was beautiful with a fantastic view, and the breakfast was great. Freshly baked croissants, fresh fruit, coffee, juice and water. The staff was friendly and courteous. I would definitely come back if I were in the area.

Nothing

The property is a very old building at the top of Certaldo Alto. As such it is the character and location that make this place attractive. The terrace views are amazing and we were made to feel very welcome. The location is lovely and it was how I always imagined Tuscany to be.

Our room was quite small with little in the way of storage space. As we were there for a wedding this made things somewhat difficult. Our friends did have a bigger room so it was probably the luck of the draw. This did really detract from our visit and is a small price to pay for being in such a wonderful location

I loved the location at the highest point in Certaldo with a breathtaking view overlooking the countryside. The courtyard where drinks and meals are served is equally spectacular. The rooms are beautiful on the first floor in keeping with the historical nature of the building and it’s a quiet location. Erik, the host, is amazing, super helpful and knowledgeable. I didn’t meet Eleonora but I sampled her artistry in the kitchen! You absolutely have to eat a meal there so creative and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Dead in the centre of the old town area, run by a lovely couple who do everything to make sure you have a good stay. The room was comfortable, breakfast was lovely (the view is fab) and we also ate dinner there and thought the food was wonderful. Only stayed one night but would definitely recommend to others.

It was quite warm in the room and so I could imagine in the peak of summer that might not be ideal for some people. But we found it OK for our stay. Parking is a few minutes walk down / up a large hill which was absolutely fine for us but worth mentioning for those who might struggle.

The location is spectacular, history and beauty along with great hosts and a wonderful restaurant. Views over the Chianti vineyards from the top of the hill surrounded by medieval buildings and wonderful weather who could ask for more.

As an ancient building the plumbing is a little less pressure with the hot water in the shower but it is a price worth paying for the privilege of being in such an old building.

Everything was superb. The breakfast was a continental range, but the selling point was their own vegan restaurant where we ate one evening - a special treat type of meal which was excellent. The location is amazing - views spectacular, and convenient for San Gimignano and Sienna. The medieval hilltown itself has plenty of places to eat. The only issue was missing the Funiculor on arrival, so quite a climb! But the best bit was the hosts - super friendly, wanting to help, giving advice etc. Highly recommended.

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!

Beautiful views from the terrace, the room was comfy and the whole place was quiet.

The staff member on reception was lovely for pretty much the entirety of our stay then, 5 minutes after we left, called us and accused us of stealing a coat hanger and was fairly rude over the phone. Fortunately we were right outside and could go and show that we couldn’t have taken the hanger since it wouldn’t even fit in our bags. This incident took a lot of gloss off what was otherwise a really lovely stay. We’d have come straight back here if it wasn’t for this incident, but will now look at other properties first.

if you want the total Tuscany feel this is it, perched high on a hill overlooking the Tuscan hills, this small medieval town with cobblestone streets has everything you need, several restaurants and shops in the village, breakfast is served on the patio with gorgeous views...Keep in mind this building is old, rooms are small, No AC ...I would definitely recommend staying in the cooler months... Eric was amazing always there for whatever was needed and served us a great breakfast every morning

My biggest complaint would be no AC, we were there in June so it was bearable but definitely wouldn't have been able to do it mid summer..it said they have fans but they did not ...and beds were very small and not very comfortable...
