Each of the nine double bedrooms has its own ensuite facilities, providing everyone staying at this Tuscany vacation rental with privacy and personal space when they need it.

- Location Description
-
This villa is located about 4 km away from Certaldo. With a population of about 15,000, Certaldo has all the necessities combined with small-town charm. Pick up groceries or eat out in the modern section and spend the rest of your day exploring Certaldo Alta, the old medieval village. If you come in July you may find yourself in the midst of a lively Renaissance festival, complete with street artists, actors, musicians, and more. And don't forget to get your fill of medieval architecture! You can explore the Pretorio Palace or marvel at the profile Certaldo castle cuts across the sky. Like museums? You may want to visit the house of Giovanni Boccaccio (author of the Decameron). If you're looking for a little more variety, day trips will take you to San Gimignano, Siena, and Florence.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
The villa was absolutely wonderful - elegant and comfortable, plenty of room for everyone. The outside spaces were fantastic (if a bit buggy). The location was ideal for day trips and exploring the region.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was absolutely stunning.
Enjoyed Least:
The water - inconsistent water flow in both volume and temperature. It was the only drawback in an otherwise flawless property.
Surrounding Area:
So many really different towns and farms and wineries to explore - seemingly similar but each with its own personality and history.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Certaldo. not within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring bug spray - mosquitos (not heavy) at dusk.
Directions:
We used GPS, worked to varying degrees for differing people.
Check In Out:
Check in and out was great - Christina and Enzo were incredibly friendly and easy to work with, all very transparent, they were terrific.

Overall:
Our experience at Villa Pucci was absolute perfection! The house and view are spectacular.
Enjoyed Most:
The house is absolutely lovely and the view is beyond compare. We spent most of the time sitting out by the lovely pool and just enjoying the view. It was even better than the pictures. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly. We had a group of 18 and everyone had their own space. There were plenty of bathrooms which was a huge plus! We were never crowded. The dining area was beautiful and we were all able to sit around one table which we really enjoyed.
Surrounding Area:
The house is perfectly situated to enjoy visits throughout Tuscany. We were able to visit a number of the Hill Towns and Florence -- all daytrips from the house. A few in our group went cycling on a few of the days while others in our group hiked on nearby roads.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Certaldo is the nearest town. We enjoyed the huge Coop supermarket for shopping and going into the old town for dinner one night.
Directions:
The GPS coordinates were the better way to get to the house. Google maps led a few folks astray.
Check In Out:
Enzo and Christina are so gracious and are wonderful hosts! They were very responsive and absolutely perfect.

Overall:
Lovely week's vacation with friends and family.
Enjoyed Most:
View, indoor/outdoor living area, spacious interior, many rooms, en suite bathrooms.
Enjoyed Least:
Unclear instructions about some aspects of the recycling (not clear whether paper recycling and trash were to be separate or combined) and not enough room in the trash and recycling bins.
Surrounding Area:
Beautiful views, nature walks, biking, swimming in the pool, proximity to towns in Tuscany.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Nearest small town was Certaldo it was not within walking distance.
Directions:
No problem finding the property--we used "Here You Go" app.
