Great location and great place to stay
This is a super place to stay. Very roomy, amenities make it feel like home. Our GPS took didn't get us to he location so Estelle and her husband came out to show us the way- even though it was late. We used the house as or base and hit all of the places we anted to see. The local wine and food festival was a special treat. Our terrific Italian vacation started with a great place to stay.
Perfect location
This is an excellent property It is very spacious inside with a huge fantastic deck on 3 sides of the apartment allowing you to have sunshine from morning till night. It is very well equipped in the kitchen and also with linens etc Both bedrooms were very large with lots of storage. The view from the rooftop terrace was fantastic. We were able to walk about 10mins to the town centre where there were several very nice restaurants with good food and very reasonable prices. There is no indoor parking at the apartment but on the street in front there are lots of spaces available to the residents both night and day This is a beautiful apartment and Simone and Romano deserve to have a 5star rating. We will certainly return for another stay and highly recommend it
Thank you Ursula for your review. We are glad to hear that you spent a nice stay at the apartment.
We really hope to see you again.
Regards,
Romanello
Fantastic Views, spacious, clean
We had a very long train journey to start our holiday and missed one nights stay, but Romano and his cousin came and picked us up from the Train station when we eventually arrived on the Tuesday evening. When we got to the apartment it was lovely and spacious and the massive terrace was incredible with views all around and of the Old town. The apartment was furnished with beautiful furniture and chandalier and had everything you needed as well as comfortable beds. We were highly delighted with our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to stay.
Wonderful Experience
We had a wonderful stay in a very nice flat. It was very clean and very well furnished.
Thank you for sharing your apartment with us Romano and Simone.
Hello Tom, Tony and Jodi

We hope we can lodge you again!
Best regards,
Simone and Romano
Just perfect !
We were two couples who decided to see Italy in all her glory.. We rented a car and did a 18 day road trip from Amalfi to Venice. We rented apartments along the way and visited all the beautiful corners of Italy. This apartment was such a perfect place for our four day stop. One of the reasons we chose it was its proximity to many cities we wanted to visit. From there Cinque Terre was a 2.5 hr drive, Sienna was approx. 45 min. Pisa approximately 1.5 hrs and of course.. Florence :) A bonus was that this apartment was a ten minute walk from the train that took us right into the heart of Florence in 45 minutes and we didn't have to take the car and deal with traffic or parking. Now for the apartment !! It is a penthouse with an enormous terrace. There are beautiful plants with flowers and herbs all around and two large awnings with a built in bbq. We cooked and set a table outside and sat sipping wine and watching the sunset over the old city. Inside, it is immaculate and very very spacious. There;s a closed off eat in kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The air conditioning unit is only in the living room, but it kept the house cool enough and each bedroom had a standing fan which helped a lot (heat wave when we were staying, so ordinarily, I'm sure it's perfect) It was furnished with very traditional European furniture and was very comfortable. The only thing we missed is having Wifi.. as each evening we liked to connect with home and plan the next day.. We'd have to do that in the mornings at a cafe which was about a ten minute walk away. Simone and his girlfriend greeted us, showed us around and provided us with a book with very useful information about restaurants, train schedules, internet cafes and so on. We highly recommend this apartment ! You will not be disappointed. Ciao.

"Wonderful flat with an exceptional terrace! Very clean and very well equipped! The BBQ on the terrace is a super bonus! If you are searching for a base for excursions in the Chianti district - this is a very good place to stay. Some minutes with the car and you are in the midst of the Tuscanian hills with wonderful views and great restaurants!
As someone else said in their review - the apartment is much better than the good pictures that are there already!!! Just excellent "

Certaldo, is a well known town in which the poet Giovanni Boccaccio was born.
It is a strategic point stuck in the middle of the Val d’Elsa, from which it is very
easy to reach cities and Points of artistic and cultural interest as Florence, Siena,
Pisa, San Gimignano and Volterra.
Its origins are dated back to the Etruscan-Roman period. Certaldo has an upper village
(m. 130). That is the older part and another side developed in the adjacent dale since
XIII-XIV centuriy, at the very border with the ‘Via Francigena’. The Medieval
town plan of the village has been kept almost the same all along the centuries.
It represent one of the finest medieval village of Tuscany from every point of view,
From the architectonical, from the one of the town plan and also about the environment.
Since some 15 years, in Certaldo every year take place (at the end of July) a festival
called Mercantia. It is the most important Italian street artists festival. It is
very suggestive to see the main street in the upper Certaldo enlightened by the light of
flares and torches, but the basic element of the festival is by no doubt the moltitude of
shows that take place at every corner of the village. For more or less three hours in every
street or square of the city there are puppets shows, musicians, theatre plays, acrobats,
jugglers and tumblers. The written program of what is about to happen during the festival
only gives a partial idea of what really is this event.
