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.
