Description and location of the castle
The castle is only 18 km from Certaldo and 35 from Florence in the beautiful and hills that lay down to San Gimignano in Tuscany. It's an ideal place to spent a week of your Italian honeymoon: Florence is less than half an hour and Siena just a little bit more; San Gimignano twenty minutes, Volterra and Pisa one hour and in only fifty minutes you can reach the sea and the famous sandy beaches of the Versilia. The connections are excellent (roads, highway, train and plane), but you are in a completely quiet place with one of the most beautiful landscapes of the region.
The "Castello of Certaldo" has its origin in the 13th century and was owned by some of the most important Tuscan families. The property is extended over 150 acres and the main production is Chianti dei Colli Fiorentini "Titolato" and extravergine olive oil "Laudemio", both trade marks reflecting absolute quality. The big farmhouse beside the castle has been transformed into 8 apartments elegantly furnished and with all modern comforts (independent heating and warm water, direct phone, satellite-TV etc.), but keeping the atmosphere of the ancient Tuscan country houses. On cooler days you can light the fireplace, read a good book or simply chat drinking a good glass of Rubicondo wine. In an adjacent building is a heated swimming pool connected in summertime with an outdoor pool. The Sala della Cinta can be organised for guest dinner parties up to twenty two people, where you can taste the specialities and the wines of the castle. You can walk in the castle's wood or go horseback riding round the corner. Last but not least the excellent restaurants will be a pleasure not to miss.
