In the heart of Certaldo Alto, a charming medieval village strongly connected to Tuscan history and culture, lies La Fornace di Francesca, a recently renovated apartment that offers a warm and authentic welcome. Housed in an ancient building along the historic Via Giovanni Boccaccio, this accommodation is not just a place to stay but a true immersion in the atmosphere of a living community rich in traditions.
The apartment, with independent access, features bright and well-designed spaces. The living area is equipped with a fully furnished kitchen and a cozy living room, perfect for moments of conviviality. The two bedrooms, one double and the other with a bunk bed and a pull-out single bed, provide a comfortable stay for families or small groups. The fresh and modern bathroom completes the interiors, while outside there is an exclusive terrace, great for relaxing or enjoying a meal outdoors, enriched by a small laundry area reserved for guests.
The apartment's central location makes it easy to access the main links and attractions of the area. Guests can explore the treasures of Valdelsa, visiting historic towns like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Volterra. The funicular, which connects Certaldo Alto to the modern part, allows for a convenient reach to the train station for excursions to Florence, Siena, Pisa, and other artistic destinations, making the accommodation an ideal starting point for discovering the wonders of Tuscany.
The emotional connection to this space is profound. Growing up in this village, Francesca decided to renovate the apartment that was once her parents' residence. Every corner carries memories of a life dedicated to family and the culture of the place. Together with her daughter Erica, she shares a love for cooking and the genuine products of the land, offering each guest not just a comfortable stay but also the warmth of a sincere welcome.
