Antica Torre del Borgo

Antica Torre is an idyllic place to stay. From the superbly comfortable Bancospina room. I had stunning views from the windows of mossy tiled roofs, green Tuscan hills dotted with cypress trees, patches of olive trees, and rustic Italian farmhouses. The table set in front of a window was a lovely place to get some work done. Although I was unwell for a few days, it was hardly a hardship. Sascia was amazingly thoughtful, bringing me a laden breakfast tray each morning, my favourite double-shot cappucinos, and making sure I had everything I needed.

Abbiamo recentemente soggiornato presso questa struttura. Accoglienza professionale ma familiare; camera pulitissima con tutti i confort; colazione squisita; location storica indimenticabile. La consigliamo vivamente a chi vuole visitare la Toscana fuori dai soliti circuiti.

When I happened across Antica Torre del Borgo's website, the idea of staying in a medieval tower was too tempting to resist ! Our hostess and also the owner Sascia ,responded promptly to my email . It was a pleasure to meet the lovely Sascia who was waiting for us when we arrived in a taxi from Siena. She made sure all the details were taken care off for the taxi to be allowed in the village to drop us off at the door. Sascia made us feel welcome immediately, and she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were comfortable and happy during our entire 3 day stay Having the chance to stay in a medieval tower was so special, and our choice of the Zafferano ( Saffron ) Comfort & Triple Room was perfect !Large windows with great views,spacious with every modern amenity we could need , and a shower with remarkable water pressure ! It was obvious that Sascia had been very thoughtful in planning the renovations. A delicous and bountiful buffet breakfast was set up in a cozy room conveniently across from the Zafferano room. There were sweet and savory choices, fresh fruit , juices, and the largest cornettos we have ever seen. The cappuccino and espresso Sascia made for us were perfect. We definitely felt spoiled with such a relaxing start to each day. We enjoyed the restaurants that were literally next door, across the street or a short 2 minute easy walk. Certaldo Alto is a quiet village known especially because the famous writer Giovanni Boccaccio was born here, Casa di Boccaccio. Palazzo Pretorio, the Museum of Sacred Art, and the Augustinian Convent with the Church of Santi Jacopo and Filippo are all very close to Antica Torre del Borgo. We sre so glad we had the opportunity to meet Sascia and to stay at Antica Torre del Borgo. We highly recommend Antica Torre del Borgo , and we are confident that Sascia will take excellent care of you ! Grazie mille, Peggy & George
