Palazzo Pretorio in Certaldo Alto  - Foto JAFO

The “BORGO TOSCANO” tourist complex is located along the main street of Certaldo Alto, the Medieval district of the town of Certaldo which is situated on a hillside. Guests can therefore enjoy the wonderful view of the historical centre and its enchanting atmosphere.

The complex is part of Palazzo “Stiozzi Ridolfi”, a building that dates back to the 14th century. It has been completely restructured in recent years and is now composed of three apartments, each with its own fully equipped kitchen (complete with crockery, cutlery, pans, etc..) and bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.

There is a supermarket in the town centre of Certaldo and four restaurants, including a pizzeria, in Certaldo Alto.

Certaldo Alto is a quiet and peaceful area to live in as there are no main roads nearby and no noisy traffic.

Only a short distance away from Borgo Toscano you may go trekking along the many beautiful paths in the fields and vineyards of the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

In Certaldo Alto you may visit the house of Giovanni Boccaccio, the writer and a poet famous world-wide for his “Decamerone”. Noteworthy are also the Romanic Church of SS. Jacopo and Filippo where Boccaccio’s grave is kept, the Palazzo Pretorio (Praetorial Palace) which in the past was the seat of the Vicariate of the Valdelsa area and the Chiostro dei Giustiniani, a beautiful cloister inside the Museo d’Arte Sacra (Museum of Sacred Art).
