Tenuta Certaldo  lies in a woody verdant valley overlooking the picturesque towers of Volterra.

The garden boasting green lawns stretches down to the generously sized swimming pool 15x7 mt. where you can relax in the sun, listening to the sound of nature. An unique opportunity for Tuscany’s lovers to enjoy the sounds, the colours and the smells of this beautiful country

Just a short drive from the main historical and cultural cities, like Florence, Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Tenuta Certaldo  offers rewarding opportunities for exploring the region, without giving up to the peaceful and relaxing rural life. Set on a hilltop, about 400mt. above sea level, it is protected from the cold north wind and exposed to the west, towards the sea, thus benefiting of the healthy Mistral which ensures nice temperatures all the year round while providing a cool sea flavour.

The old rural farmhouse with barn has been converted into 7 apartments, 5 in the main house and 2 in the recently restored barn. All the apartments feature their own private entrance, a shaded terrace with chairs and table, and inside terracotta floor tiles, beamed ceilings, barbecue, fridge, hob, micro-oven, satellite-TV, safe box.
