Charming apartment fully renovated and updated, located on the ground floor of an ancient building on the main street of the medieval village of Certaldo Alto, the home of the famous author of the Decameron, Giovanni Boccaccio. Certaldo Alto is a gem of ancient architecture with historical significance in this area, situated in the far southern province of Florence, bordering Siena.
The apartment features a private entrance and includes a spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms—one with a double bed and the other with bunk beds plus an additional pull-out single bed—a new, functional bathroom with a shower, and an exclusive terraced outdoor space furnished with a table and chairs for enjoying the fresh air, accessible directly from the double bedroom.
The day and night areas are divided by a small step.
This outdoor area also includes a washing machine for the exclusive use of the apartment's guests.
There is the option to use parking outside the walls of the medieval village, which is in a restricted traffic zone, upon contacting the owner.
The central and picturesque location is perfect for those who wish to experience staying in an ancient Tuscan village, within accommodation in the heart of the medieval town, which holds historical significance. In fact, the apartment's name refers to its former use as a furnace. During the renovation, the old soot covering certain wall sections was removed, revealing its historical use, as documented in historical records of the time.
From here, you can explore the entire Valdelsa area, from Monteriggioni to San Gimignano, from Montelupo to Vinci, and take day trips to the most famous art cities in Tuscany such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, Volterra, and Arezzo.
