Middle of the town, host was super helpful and it was a really nice spot for a group of friends!

Because it is so central it can be a bit noisy of an evening for people who are light sleepers!

Elisabetta was a fantastic host and was so helpful. There are so many thoughtful details at Bellavista and a lot of effort has gone into making sure everyone who visits has a great stay. The location is ideal for exploring Certaldo and the surrounding areas.

Really nothing I could fault, there is a small amount of noise outside in the square in the evening especially on the weekend, if you like it to be silent, but it didn’t bother us.

Everything. To stay in the square was a real treat, straight across from the cable car up to old town, and close to all cafes and restaurants. The Gelato cafe below is open until midnight, another treat and cannot recommend this enough to the point we were having at least two a day. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, very recently refurbished to a high standard. But most importantly the welcome from Elisabettao who went over and above to make our stay perfect, extremely helpful with recommendations and advice, but most importantly to point of helping us with taxis for a very late return from a wedding we attended. Thank you so much Elisabettao xx

Nothing.

Great location. Very clean and comfortable apartment. Elizabetta was very helpful.

Nothing

Our stay at Elisabetta’s place was absolutely wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. Simply a perfect choice! The apartment is beautifully decorated, super comfortable (including the beds – and I’m quite picky when it comes to that, rarely feeling as good outside my own bed!), and at the same time very cozy and welcoming. You can really tell everything was prepared with care and attention to detail – the kitchen is fully equipped, and in the bathroom we found cotton pads, toiletries, and even earplugs 😊. All those little touches made us feel truly looked after. Elisabetta herself deserves a special mention. She is absolutely lovely – warm, helpful, and always available. She responded quickly to any issues (for example, we accidentally broke the key during our stay, and arranging a solution at a convenient time was no problem at all). Her recommendations – whether for restaurants or nearby towns to visit – were spot on. Thanks to her, we discovered places we might never have found on our own. The location of the apartment is also perfect – just a 5-minute walk from the train station (great if you're exploring Tuscany by train) and a large parking area where you can leave your car for a small fee. It’s also right next to the funicular to Certaldo Alto, so it’s super easy to go up and enjoy the beautiful old town. Another bonus: the apartment is right in the center, so in the morning you can easily go out for breakfast or pick up fresh croissants from the bakery. We also completely fell in love with Certaldo itself. It’s a gorgeous little town that easily rivals more famous Tuscan spots in beauty (don’t miss Certaldo Alto!), but with a much calmer, more authentic vibe – perfect for observing local life without the tourist crowds. And the food scene is amazing – so many excellent restaurants! Certaldo is also a great base for exploring the whole region – it’s well connected and located almost right in the heart of Tuscany.

Honestly, there was nothing that could have been improved – everything was just perfect.
