Villa Certaldo, and its hostess Elizabeth, are absolutely magnificent! The villa itself could not have felt more like home - it was fitted with all the luxuries North Americans could want, from a well appointed kitchen with coffee maker, espresso maker, microwave and a large fridge, to huge bathrooms with tubs and showers, double sinks and marble everywhere! The villa's interior was large, bright and oh-so comfortable! The location of the villa was spectacular, overlooking olive groves and vineyards...and in the distance you can even make out the towers of San Gimignano! Elizabeth, being from the USA, certainly understands how to pamper her guests by providing such an amazing accommodation and lending her knowledge of the local area, including great places to eat and visit. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about Villa Certaldo, and I cannot wait to stay there again on my next trip to the magnificent country of Italy.
