- Matteo (10/5): - Ho alloggiato qui a gennaio 2026. Struttura stupenda dotata di tantissimi comfort in una location storica unica. Proprietaria che ti coccola dal primo all’ultimo momento. Niente
- Michel (10/5): - Certaldo est un petit village perché magnifique.
Le logement est très beau,bien placée.
Le petit déjeuner est fantastique avec Sasha qui est d'une extreme gentillesse et qui a tout fait pour nous rendre le séjour agréable.
A recommandé sans hésitation !!!!
- Massimo (10/5): - Tutto è stato perfetto, la cornice è fantastica e ogni cosa è veramente curata. La camera Zafferano ha una vista incredibile su via Boccaccio, Palazzo Pretorio e colli intorno. La colazione è deliziosa e molto ricca. Assolutamente nulla
- Fravolini (10/5): -
- ARTAN (10/5): Da rifare - Bellissima, pulita, vista panoramica, ci siamo rilassati e riposato bene.
- Annette (10/5): Perfect, angel at work ! - Alles
- Chiara (9/5): Stupendo e lo consiglio a coppia giovane allenata. - Tutto dalla gentilezza della proprietaria, ai dettagli della camera e del bagno. È la prima volta che trovo un hotel che fornisce assorbenti e kit con acqua micellare, dischetti e fascetta per struccarsi.
Inoltre sono molto attenti alle intolleranze alimentari basta segnalarlo e ti preparano una colazione eccellente senza allergeni.
Inoltre la vista dalla camera è mozzafiato. Hanno un'unica pecca, la mancanza di ascensore, ma è data dalla struttura che si trova in borgo medievale quindi va benissimo per una coppia giovane, un po' di difficoltà per chi è poco allenato in quanto ci sono da affrontare molte rampe di scale.
- Davide (10/5): -
- Enzo (10/5): - Abbiamo trascorso tre splendidi giorni presso la struttura di Sascia. Fin dall’inizio, siamo stati accolti e accompagnati con attenzione per tutta la durata del soggiorno. La camera, ricavata all’interno di una vera torre medievale, regala una meravigliosa vista sul pittoresco borgo di Certaldo, dove si percepisce un’atmosfera d’altri tempi. La colazione, preparata con prodotti freschi della tradizione italiana, è davvero deliziosa. Un grazie di cuore a Sascia: ci siamo sentiti davvero a nostro agio!
- Brando (10/5): -
- Carmela (10/5): -

- Amey (10/5): Very lovely room - Polite, friendly host, very informative and rooms where stunning with little extras like a travel plug to use, some facial cleanser shampooo etc. There is a lot of stairs so even if fit and abled to carry a suitcase up then all could be hard for some people
- Erica (10/5): Abbiamo trascorso qui tre notti. La struttura é perfetta per le coppie, perché romantica e molto tranquilla. Sascia é se - Struttura tranquilla e silenziosa.

- Roberta (10/5): - La camera era spaziosa e ben curata
- Mattia (10/5): Highly Recommended - Great service and experience. Location and view from the room was exceptional! There's a fair amount of steps, but it keeps you fit!
- Johan (10/5): Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !! Authenticité Garantie - Sascia (notre hôte) a toujours était présente pour nous aider et nous arranger dès que possible. Un super petit déjeuner avec du choix pour tout le monde ! Les chambres sont très propres et décorées avec beaucoup de goût ! Certaldo Alto est magnifique ! Pour le bas de la ville, via le Funiculaire, vous attends une grande place agréable pour y manger un bout, boire un verre ou encore un granité délicieux !! Le reste de la ville n'apporte pas grand chose de plus en termes de tourisme, dommage, mais reste à distance des plus belles villes de Toscane.
- Marta Maria (10/5): - The location is amazing, very central and the room we stayed in had a great view. Sascia was an incredible host: the instructions she gave us were very detailed and the check in was super smooth. she was so kind and helpful. absolutely recommend if you want to escape more touristic places!
- Monika (10/5): -
- Petr (10/5): Vyjimečné ubytovaní Torre Borgo Certaldo - Naprosto skvělé. Snídaně na přání,.paní ubytovatelka skvělá, velmi přátelská nic nebylo problém. Věž ve starém Certaldu naprosto výborná, genius loci skvělý. Parkovací karta a povolení k vjezdu do zóny ZTL v ceně a vše skvěle fungovalo. Naprostá apokojenost a vřele doporučuji.
- Tom (9/5): Lovely affordable accommodations in the heart of the city! - The location could not be more perfect for a visit to Certaldo. Our stay coincided with a wonderful street festival and we could literally watch the performances from our open windows.
Our host was so welcoming and made sure all was in order. Only that I did not have the opportunity to spend additional time with our host Sascia!!
- Karl (10/5): Perfect - The breakfast was great, the staff were perfect and very friendly and helpful. Location great, an all round perfect stay, thank you
- Joana (9/5): Love our stay here.such a unique experience and the hostpitaly from the host is excellent. - Everything Just be mindful of no lift for big/heavy luggage
- Stephen (10/5): An absolute gem in Certaldo - This B&B is an absolute gem situated in the old historic town. Sascia is an amazing host and looked after us extremely well. The breakfasts are great and the room was very comfortable. We also liked the good water pressure in the shower:-) Thank you again for everything Sascia! Nothing
- Lamoureux (10/5): The best placed we stayed in Tuscany! - Everything! The owner, Sascia, cares deeply about the quality of the experience for her guests. She is amazing. Lots of stairs (4 flights, with luggage, is quite the workout!). Ok for us as we are in good health and the view from the room was worth it 110%!
- Yehuda (9/5): Sasha is a great host!!! - Exactly fits to our needs Nothing, all was perfect
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely location. Clean. Comfortable. Great shower—especially for a building built 100s of years ago! Terrific host.
- Pasta_pesto_pizza (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alix (10/5): Beautiful and cozy little tower! - A beautiful and clean property. The rooms and the views are spectacular, we were only there for one night but we should have stayed for longer! The breakfast was delicious and Sascia was the perfect host. Instructions for check-in/out and parking were very clear and easy to understand.
- John (10/5): A truly wonderful place to stay, and the service is impeccable!!! 🙏 - The property is perfect (the rooms are really beautifully furnished and the views are amazing). Sascia is the perfect hostess - she makes you so welcome and looked after us so well!!!! The breakfast was also delicious - everything was perfect - I couldn’t recommend this place more highly! There was nothing to dislike. The parking isn’t immediate outside the property, but it’s just round the corner (5 min walk away), so absolutely no problem at all.
- Miroslav (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing appartment and beatiful city. Very friendly and helpfull owner - perfect :-) -
- Fitch (9/5): Superb - Beautiful town. Sasha has a fantastic bed and breakfast, and provides everything you could need. Incredibly quiet room with a great view. There are a lot of steps up to the room.
- Nancy (10/5): Magical fairytale accommodation - We loved everything about this Bed and Breakfast, but especially Sasha! She was so amazing communicating everything so well about arriving, parking, breakfast and any needs we had in the room.
People commented about the many stairs but it was just what we needed to get our daily exercise.😁 We have no complaints at all! Staying in a medieval tower with an amazing view was magical. Sasha put so many extra touches like nice soaps and decorations. It was our home away from home for a week.
- Caitriona (10/5): A wonderful place to stay and we can't wait to go back - The room was lovely and had a beautiful view over the hills. The customized breakfast each morning was such a great way to start the day, and Sasha is a wonderful host!
The location is perfectly located in the old town of Certaldo, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as several small museums and craft shops. You can also easily walk down the hill to the newer (non-medieval) part of Certaldo, with more to see and do. It was a little confusing getting in the first time - I hadn't realized that the entrance to the B&B was at the top of an apartment building, so I went up and down the stairs a few times looking for the right door to our room, thinking that all of them were part of the B&B (but really the first three floors are private apartments!). Also just a note that there are four to five flights of stairs and no elevator, for anyone with limited mobility!
- Tanner (10/5): Wonderful host and clean room perfect location - Clean and historic Stairs
- Ram (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kunal (10/5): Exceptional - It was a clean and beautiful room. The host was welcoming and so helpful.
- Theodore (10/5): Could not have been more enjoyable. - Sasha our host was fantastic. She personally provided our delicious breakfast, provided clean sheets and towels whenever we wished and was always pleasant and accommodating with us.
- Tamas (9/5): Superb -
- Carolyn (8/5): Unique stay in a comfortable room. - It was really charming and tastefully decorated. And the host, Sasha, is so helpfully and very friendly. You have to climb 7 flights of stairs to get to it, which was not a problem for us, but perhaps needs to be mentioned.
- Tara (10/5): Exceptional - The host Sasha is so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Had a lovely breakfast and such a beautiful room & location. We'll be back.
- Petra (10/5): A most wonderful stay and experience. - This is a very special property. The host is wonderful - helpful and welcoming.
The property is immaculate and everything exceeds expectation.
The views over the Tuscan landscape are breathtaking. The village is friendly too. There are several flights of stairs, but the height of the apartment is what offers up the best views and experience. We don’t want to leave. -
- Nerys (9/5): Lovely place to stop and break up our trip back to the airport. - Excellent location in a beautiful building. There are a lot of stairs which can be a problem if you have a lot of luggage
- Stephen (10/5): Fabulous. - The breakfast was really good and location was great. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully presented, with wonderful views and I can't fault it. Nothing. It was perfect.
- Haydn (10/5): Dear Sasha Thank you so much for hosting us. We really enjoyed our stay. We felt very relaxed and at home As for th - The views, the cleanliness, the bed, Sasha & Rosa 👌
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (9/5): The hostess was charming, the room was lovely, and the only thing to be aware of are the stairs. - there was a form to fill out so you got what you wanted. The breakfast room was near my room, but this was at top of the building with many steps. this might not work for everyone. The only drawback were the stairs.
- Christel (10/5): It was absolutely wonderful! - Very good breakfast. Location perfect in the old city. The flights of stairs to the room were quite challenging, specifically with suitcases, but it is to be expected in the old buildings. It is not a reflection on the owner.
- Petra (10/5): Exceptional - We have spent a wonderful time in Antica Torre. The room was really nice and confy.
The breakfast was excellent ❤️.
We can only recommend Sascia's place.
- Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): This was by far the best place we stayed at! The room and bathroom look just like they did in the pictures. The bed was - Beautiful, clean room and bathroom There are a few half flights of stairs to go up, but it is worth it!
- Lucian (10/5): Exceptional - Very good place to stay right in the middle of the old town. Clean, with all necessary amenities and included breakfast. Sascia, the host, did her best to help us and make our stay confortabile (Grazie Sascia!).
Highly recommended.
- Carme (10/5): Cozy and romantic place for couples to visit la Toscana - Everything was perfect. The room and bathrooms were renewed and clean, the breakfast was amazing with typical food and the location was in the old town of Certaldo. The attention we received from Sasha, the owner, was perfect and she took care of every request we had. I would recomend this place for a couple that wants to visit la Toscana and have romantic days around.
- Harry (10/5): Charming place with gorgeous views and an exceptional good service! - Information to parking and how to reach the place and enter the room was extremely well offered, organizing the individual wishes for breakfast was perfect, the breakfast itself was exceptional!
I can only recommend this wonderful hostel!
- Alexander (9/5): Fantastic experience - Perfect location, fabulous view, clean Getting into the apartment. Complicated.
- Sultana (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice views and an amazing area around. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Super host which even took care of some special requests for breakfast. The stairs to go up, but we knew about them before hand so not really something that bothered us, the views from the top are worth it.
- Erin (10/5): Exceptional - I don't think we could have found a better place to stay. The town is lovely, magical, quiet. Our room was charming, and everything we needed was available. It was delightful to meet Sasha. She went out of her way to ensure that all of our needs were met, and pointed us towards some memorable local sights that we would never have found on our own. I can't think of a thing!
- Anonymous (10/5): Magical and enchanting! - The property was enchanting and magical! It was in the best location and so unexpected! The best part of our trip to Italy!!
The room including bathroom was well kept and very clean. Breakfast in the morning was perfect! We could not have asked for anything more.
We ate at the restaurant next door - RISTORANTE bar caffetteria Boccaccio where the food was amazing and so was the staff!
Absolutely loved Sasha as she was super helpful and does an exceptional job of her beautiful and magical B&B!! Sasha, Mike and I can’t thank you enough for the magical experience you have provided ♥️🥰 Absolutely nothing!
- Andjela (10/5): Exceptional - We liked everything about Antica Torre del Borgo! Location is out of this world. Situated in Certaldo Alto (Alto is the key word :)) it is like you are in some movie set. So peacefull, so beautiful.. We were there in late September, so it felt like we are one of few turists in Certaldo. Certaldo is also perfectly possitioned for exploring the Tuscany region. Just 20 min from beautiful San Gimignano and also very close to other beautiful Toscan villages. Sasha was more then helpfull. She suggested us the perfect iternary off the beaten track and made our day divine. She also helped us to solve the problem that we had with renting a car which was the most important thing for us... All in all, long story short... PERFETTO!!
- Robert (10/5): If you can handle lots of steps, this is a winner! - The charm of staying in a medieval building. We loved the decorating of the rooms. Everything was super clean. We loved being in the heart of Certaldo and right around the corner from a great restaurant that Sasha recommended.
- Ilan (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place. Sasha is so kind and helpful.
- Sinead (8/5): Very good - The person looking after us was absolutely lovely
- Julija (10/5): Exceptional! - We loved it all. An incredible view out of the window, a spotlessly clean and comfortable room, delicious breakfast every morning and the loveliest, most welcoming host in the world - Sasha!
We stayed there for 4 nights. We had a chance to explore the unique, authentic town of Certaldo and treat our palate to the delicious food at local restaurants kindly recommended by Sasha. We would go back without hesitation!
THANK YOU, SASHA! You are a STAR!
- Simon (10/5): Stunning location and fabulous host complimented by a beautiful room. - Loved everything the views, room and breakfast Nothing
- Gynthe (8/5): Perfect little accommodation in a beautiful old village - Very friendly and helpful host. The B&B is beautifully located in an old tower building, with respect to the old structure. Lovely little village, quiet and like a voyage back in time. All amenities were perfect and the breakfast was everything we needed. Nothing really, we knew beforehand about the stairs.
- Michiel (10/5): Very nice, friendly, clean and authentic place in the middle of the old town. - We drove by car to this place and stayed for 4 days. In the mornings the host made us breakfast herself. The hospitality is great. The place is really authentic and in the middle of the old town Certaldo.
- Samantha (9/5): amazing host with clear instructions of how to check in etc. - great view, with clean facilities a nice breakfast and an amazing host! a lot of stairs up to the accommodation level.
- Beladepalma (10/5): It is tasteful, stylish and clean in every detail, and also very unique and historic. - The accommodation is located in the historic, protected part of the city, which can only be accessed by car during the loading and unloading times. But this is not a problem, because the parking space (which is free because it is provided by the host) is a 5-minute walk from the accommodation. The room is very romantic, clean, the host is very kind and helpful. The accommodation's staircase is not very comfortable due to the old building (stairs are high). This cannot be changed and it is thus original!
- Róbert (8/5): Very good - Cute, clean. Old building, 4th floor, no elevator.
- Annette (10/5): Best spot of Certaldo - Perfect stay, location and setting most beautiful 🤩
We enjoyed it very much!
As other guest have mentioned before come with light luggage as there are many stairs to climb!!
- Michaël (10/5): Exceptional experience in a sublime location with a fantastic host - super clean, incredibly cosy with lots of nice little touches, fantastic location! We liked it all
- Arlene (10/5): An outstanding stay! Will definetely recommend it! - Sascia is an excellent hostess. Her B&B is very clean specially the bathroom which are recently remodeled. She is very attentive and answered very quickly my questions. Access to a microwave or toaster in her kitchen will allow the guests to use it during the breakfast.
- Anonymous (9/5): Quaint and comfortable - Authentic and traditional…very pretty and homely. Sascia is amazing, helpful and welcoming the room was on the 5th floor. there is no lift and the stairs are very dark in the evening. Quite dangerous and could easily fall.
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional -

- Isabela (10/5): Exceptional -

- Olivia (9/5): Lovely b&b in a beautiful location with a perfect host - Beautiful property in a perfect location in the old town. views were incredible and the owner was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great - with lots of options and even vegan alternatives. thanks! Quite a bad smell in the hallway as you come into the property! and the stairs are not for the faint hearted. but then you wouldn’t get the view otherwise!
- Yuen (9/5): Superb -
