Certaldo Travel Forum

Hi,
A group of us will be travelling from Canada in Sept04. Is it possible to rent cars in Certaldo? Is it better to rent locally or try to do it from home (Toronto)?

Has anyone out there been to Certaldo?

What was your impressions and how long were you there?
We will be there for 10 nights at the end of April 2004.

Q: We will be staying in Alto Certaldo at the end of April.
Anybody been there to coment on what it is like and whether the cable car to Certaldo at the bottom of the hill is a pain or convenient.
Are there enough stores and restaurants, etc in old Certaldo at the top of the hill or do you find yourself going down the hill all the time.
Is parking convenient for day trips to Sam G. Siena, Florence , other small towns etc.? Or perhaps we should take a bus or train to the nearby cities/towns?
Any references in Certaldo you can give us, like a tourist guide, etc that were real good?
We will be two couples staying in a nice apartment in Alto Certaldo. We have not found much on the web about what Certaldo has. My direct email is EagleHill@directway.com if you want to use that.
Thanks,
Peter
