01 · In a sentence

Hotel Certaldo in Certaldo, open JuneSeptember.

Guests arrive in the medieval hilltop town of Certaldo to discover Hotel Certaldo, a 4.4-star property on Via del Molino offering direct access to Renaissance architecture and Tuscan countryside views.

The hotel provides 47 rooms where wedding parties can settle in before celebrations begin, with on-site dining and event spaces overlooking the Elsa Valley.

Your celebration takes place steps from centuries-old stone streets, creating an immersive Italian backdrop that guests will discuss for years.

We had a wonderful stay in Certaldo. The hotel is ultra modern, clean and nice. The air con could be a little stronger, on the first night it struggled cooling the room, however the next day it caught up. The staff is wonderful, big shout out to the restaurant waitress - she’s really going over and beyond to provide a 5* service. We didn’t have high expectations about the food, given how small the hotel is, but boy were we wrong! The pasta is absolutely delicious! Our favourite was the Pici! If I had to nitpick: - I’d say you guys need to print the pool side menu to every seat by the pool. When I came in, there was only one seat left, which didn’t have the menu QR and it took me a bit before I figured out how to order - It’s super weird that pool towels are in the rooms, rather being available by the pool? For the first time visitor this would be easier - room service could have better selection of food But to be honest, these are tiny details. I’d be happy to stay there longer.
