Charming apartment in an ancient building situated in the historical center of Certaldo Alto, a characteristic medieval village where the well-known poet Giovanni Boccaccio (author of the “Decamorone) was born and lived.
This apartment has been carefully restored preserving its original features as well as the ancient materials; the interiors are tastefully furnished and provide all modern comforts.

A public parking and a private garage are approx. 100 m away.
During the month of July (for approx. 10 days) there is a very nice “festival” (“named Mercantia”) taking place in the historical centre of Certaldo Alto (the oldest part of the town), where local artists and artisans show their works until late at the night.
