The cleanliness is excellent, and I’m very particular about that. The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel right at home. The restaurant menu is delicious—I tried most of the dishes during my stay. Chef Ahmed is world-class, and his dishes are outstanding. Finally, the hotel is located inside the castle, and the security is top-notch. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience.

“A lovely place ....... more staff required ?”
This 'quaint' hotel is situated just around the corner from the ' funicolare' at Borgo Alto, Certaldo. It really is a nice place, the room was cosy enough, no issues with facilities therein and the breakfast in the morning was good. THE best thing about the place ...... the garden, with a great panoramic view. Fantastic space.

“Hidden gem!!”
Absolute hidden gem, close to Florence in a beautiful town. I would advise contacting the property as you arrive, as it was not easy to reach via google maps and the host was very helpful in directing us on where to go to park our car. The room itself was very clean, had great character and was so quiet even though we were in the main part of the town. We took the funicular down to eat for the evening which was so close to the hotel and very convenient. The hotel bar had a jazz event which seemed popular. In the morning, breakfast was a simple spread but did the trick. Would certainly recommend.

“Historic hotel in a great location.”
The location of the hotel is excellent next to the funicular, with great views. Certaldo Alto is small, so it close to several good restaurants and bars. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had two excellent meals, dinner on the restaurant terrace (with a great view) and lunch in the garden. Breakfast was good. My room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is a short distance from the railway station.

“Outstanding, comfort, location, food and owner.”
The host Arthur was outstanding, kind and helpful and very interesting with his love of jazz. The hotel was wonderfully modernised while retaining it’s ancient charm. The location was superb: a short walk from the station to the funicular, up to the old town, turn right and you’re there. The restaurant was the best in Cetaldo.
