Certaldo Alto is an adorable village in the magnificent land of Tuscany. This region offers enchanting landscapes in every season: the rolling hills are home to fine vineyards and colorful plantations of sunflowers and cereals. The colors in contrast with the blue and white of the sky have inspired the greatest poets and painters of every era. Certaldo Alto is in Val D’elsa located on a hill just over an hour's drive from both Florence and Siena or Viareggio. To get to the upper village you need to park your car in Piazza Boccaccio in Certaldo Basso, or close to it, and take the funicular funicular that goes up to the historic center in about 80 seconds. As it is a restricted traffic area, you can alternatively walk up the steep access roads. The village is characterized by buildings of medieval architecture and in addition to the important central road Via Boccaccio, the adjacent alleys are pretty. Every year in Certaldo Alto important events are organized, including the medieval dinner I also remind you that in Marcialla a small town near Certaldo, there is an unforgettable experience that you can book through airbnb, the experience consists in creating your pizza together to a real pizza chef, typing on Airbnb "the secrets of luca's Tuscan pizza" there are excellent reviews, look and book

What we love about this charming, medieval 'old' town is it's architecture, relaxed atmosphere, high views and little foodie places like Enotecta Boccaccio. An afternoon walk around Parco di Canonica tops of a great little visit
