The medieval village of Certaldo Alto is one of the most beautiful - if not the most beautiful medieval village in Tuscany! It is located right in the heart of Chianti between the provinces of Siena and Florence and is famous for having given birth to the poet Giovanni Boccaccio. Certaldo Alto is a small jewel of medieval architecture that has remained practically intact since its birth around the year 1000 AD: warm red bricks, tall medieval towers, alleys and squares, stately palaces, churches, castles with medieval battlements, all still wrapped in a magical atmosphere of past times and still out of the chaotic mass tourism.

If you are looking for a holiday in Tuscany or even just a relaxing weekend, in contact with nature, with good food and excellent wines, breathtaking views, the medieval village of Certaldo High is what's right for you! Also just 10 minutes from Certaldo you will find the famous San Gimignano and other beautiful small Tuscan villages: Monteriggioni, San Miniato, Volterra, Colle di Val d'Elsa, Barberino Val d'Elsa, Win etc... Florence, Siena and Pisa are equally distant from Certaldo and easily reached even by train!
