Hotel Il Castello

This hotel is in a very convenient location in Certaldo Alto, next to the funicular. This makes it a short walk from the railway, My room was clean and comfortable, and the view from the window was delightful. The staff are friendly and attentive. I also ate here on two occasions, a dinner on the restaurant terrace and lunch in the garden. Both times I found the food good and the ambience relaxing.

Not yet left this hotel (and don’t really want to!!) but wanted to write a review before leaving. Have enjoyed a wonderful 2 days here. Simple, clean, comfortable accommodation. We have been taken such great care of. The outdoor area of the restaurant is an idyllic place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed a fantastic evening meal here too, with absolutely fantastic hosts who work so hard to make sure you have everything you need. A big thank you to everyone who looked after us.

We had to change locations in Certaldo and luckily this one had some last-minute openings! The greatest choice we ever made. The air conditioning was good, the breakfast was amazing (included) the restaurant was superb (extra but worth the price which was very reasonable) and the entire layout was gorgeous. Just as you would wish to see in the Tuscany area. Just like a travel book of beauty, the outside seating was marvelous and picturesque. You go by train into town and then walk about 5-10 min (depending on speed) up the main street to the funicular which comes every 10-15 minutes and ride it up to town,it is the first main hotel on your right. 1 min walk! The main host spoke excellent English and the entire premises were pristine! Most people don't think of Certaldo as a destination, but we chose it because it wasn't in Florence, but close enough by train. Also, we had a Vespa tour of Tuscany planned and an excellent Cooking class here (within 4 4-minute walk of the hotel) with Cusina Giuseppe. So all in all, the best location for the entire "old town" with castle-like walls to go to all the restaurants.

Stayed at this small intimate hotel during a workshop in the area,, 5 pleasant nights. Alfred , the owner, is present at the hotel, cares for his guests, the place is very clean , comfortable. Breakfast served in the lovely garden , jazz music is playng all day long. Thank you alfred

A unique hotel in a building that is over 800 years old with the best view of the city and fields from the veranda and from the garden of the restaurant. New renovation, restored furniture and other furnishings. The warm welcome, cordiality and friendliness of the owner cannot leave you indifferent. it is very convenient that the hotel has a wonderful restaurant, and a taude and a jazz bar, where great music always plays and excellent cocktails are served. We will definitely come here with the family again!
