Certaldo Alto
"Certaldo, as you may have heard, is a castle in the Elsa Valley, located in our countryside, which, even though it was a small place, of noble and wealthy men was inhabited" (Decameron, VI, 10).
That is how, in the mid-1300s, the celebrated novelist Giovanni Boccaccio tells of his city and, despite past many centuries since then, the medieval village of Certaldo Alto proves still very similar to how it looked in his day.
Certaldo is truly a magical village: the atmosphere of another time, the walls with orange tones, the narrow streets, towers and steeples that peek out from the reddish roofs, the views, the serenity that reigns between the walls of the houses , it demonstrates that in this place time has stopped centuries ago.
It seems to immerse themselves in a world far from the cities, from the daily, to return to the simple life, genuine and peaceful than once.
Casa Giglio, Casa al Pozzo and Le Stanze del Boccaccio are some of the holiday apartments located in the heart of the medieval village of Certaldo Alto, orange flag of the Touring Club, where the atmosphere charm and history surrounds you.
The ceilings with exposed beams and terracotta floors are their main characteristics, typical of Tuscan houses of the village.
The views of the surrounding countryside and facing the main street, Via Boccaccio, enchanting guests, pasting them on the windows, perhaps with a glass of good Tuscan wine in hand.

Mercantia, the international festival of street theater, is undoubtedly the most anticipated each year, able to count 30,000 tickets sold every year, thanks to shows and performances of all kinds, staged inside the medieval village.
Boccaccesca, the exhibition of products and pleasures of taste, is another unmissable event of this city, including culinary competitions and cooking shows, food and wine stands and handicraft local products, traditional and modern cuisine tastings and cooking demonstrations.
The Certaldo onion is an important gastronomic resource of this city, slow food and protagonist of the Onion Festival which is held every year in Certaldo Alto.
