In the heart of Tuscany, nestled between Florence and Siena, La Certaldina welcomes guests in an ancient Medici villa overlooking the Chianti Fiorentino countryside. Surrounded by olive groves and meadows, the property features the main residence, a renovated barn divided into three independent apartments, and a large panoramic swimming pool open from March to October. The accommodations, tastefully furnished and equipped with all comforts, can host between two to six people. Each unit includes rooms with a four-poster bed, fully equipped kitchens, a living area with a sofa bed, a spacious bathroom, and a private garden. A sweet Italian breakfast is available upon request.

Arabella, an experienced and attentive host, provides a warm welcome and is available to assist guests with information, recommendations, and support throughout their stay. The entire property can be rented exclusively, or guests can book individual apartments in the barn. Free Wi-Fi is accessible in all areas, and parking is available at no extra cost.

La Certaldina is the perfect choice for those seeking a relaxing stay in touch with nature, while still enjoying the opportunity to explore the wonders of Tuscany. Nearby, guests can stroll along country paths, ride horses at a nearby stable, relax under a pine tree with a book, or fish in the pond just steps from the villa. Guests can also enjoy ping-pong, darts, badminton, children's games, and participate in Tuscan cooking classes with Serafina. During the warm season, it's possible to taste the extra virgin olive oil and local wines produced on the estate.

Recommended activities in the surrounding area include guided tours of art cities, Vespa or mountain bike excursions, pottery classes, spa days, and even hot air balloon rides. The Castelfalfi Golf Club, a little over half an hour away, offers beautifully designed courses.

Throughout the year, Tuscany boasts a rich calendar of events, traditions, and festivals. In spring and fall, the climate is perfect for discovering charming villages, abbeys, and hilly landscapes, filled with fairs, markets, and tastings. Summer brings festivals, historical reenactments, and open-air shows to nearby towns such as Certaldo, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Vinci. Winter is an ideal time to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, the festive atmosphere, and the healing waters of the Gambassi and Rapolano spas.

The strategic location of La Certaldina allows for quick access to many of Tuscany’s most captivating destinations: Florence, Siena, Pisa, San Miniato, Volterra, and the coastline of Cecina and Castagneto. A holiday at La Certaldina is an experience that combines charm, authenticity, and freedom, designed for those seeking genuine emotions and timeless beauty.

Area Collina

La Certaldina is situated in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, atop a gentle hill surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and forests, in one of the most genuine and picturesque areas of the Chianti Fiorentino. This region, located midway between Florence and Siena, retains the timeless charm of rural life and offers expansive views of the valley, rich aromas, and a peacefulness broken only by the sounds of nature.

In the surrounding area, one can feel the deep spirit of Tuscany, characterized by medieval villages, Romanesque churches, fortified castles, and white roads winding through rows of vines and cypress trees. Just 6 kilometers away lies Certaldo Alto, the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio, which, with its terracotta streets, ancient walls, and the Palazzo Pretorio, provides one of the most enchanting views in the entire Valdelsa. Throughout the year, the village hosts significant events such as "La Mercantia," a renowned international street theater festival, and the gastronomic exhibition "Boccaccesca," which fills the streets with typical Tuscan flavors and aromas.

Thanks to its central location, La Certaldina serves as the perfect starting point for day trips to explore artistic cities: Florence, with its Renaissance masterpieces, Siena, known for its famous Piazza del Campo, San Gimignano and its towers, as well as Pisa, Volterra, and Monteriggioni, all easily accessible by car. Nearby, you can also find Montelupo Fiorentino, famous for its ceramic tradition, and Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo, which features a museum and his childhood home dedicated to the Tuscan genius.

The area is also ideal for those who enjoy slow tourism: walking or horseback riding along the countryside trails, wine tastings at local wineries and olive oil mills, relaxing days at thermal baths, or cultural visits to lesser-known small towns. The Chianti Classico, with its renowned wineries and villages like Greve, Panzano, Radda, and Castellina, is just a short distance away and offers high-level food and wine experiences in a landscape of rare beauty.

Staying at La Certaldina means experiencing the most authentic Tuscany, away from the hustle and bustle yet at the heart of everything, in a landscape that has inspired poets, painters, and travelers throughout the ages.
