Guest House
Boccaccio
| Everyone who will arrive in Val d’Elsa from North will be surprised by the green hill on the left side with a Medieval village of red bricks on the top. It’s the old Certaldo and thanks to its walls and to its position it has not been contaminated by the urban development. Here it is still possible to feel and to breathe a medieval air. Giovanni Boccaccio lived here in 1375. |
And it is here, where Boccaccio spent the last period of his life, that you can find the "Guest house" Boccaccio, just inside the Stiozzi Ridolfi Palace (XIV century). The medieval town is just outside the door and from here you can have a beautiful sight of the valley by enjoying nice landscapes which won’t be easily forgotten.
All this without renouncing to the comfort we usually have, by using a nice and equipted structure which is able to satisfy everybody. |
Our Guest houses have been fully restored by following the standards of the Palace.
Spending the days in an ambience of tranquillity in an old medieval village. Here you’ll find an invitation to return to past times by dreaming of time lazily passing by, as you admire nature and all the antique testimonies which only our village and the surrounding countryside can offer
